Needs a spire then it’s my favorite building

A spire would ruin this one.  Save the spires for a new iconic building downtown.

Want to see an example of a spire ruining a building by looking absolutely stupid? I give you, Fairmont Austin.

The reflection of the mural on 222 is superb

That's one way, indirectly, to add a splash of color to "another glass tower."

Splashing color on something is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the ways one can splash color on something!

The fact that they didn't place any windows on the north side of the hotel portion of the building has me wondering if they're still keeping an option open for that 2nd tower sometime in the future?  I can't imagine the parking lot owner being able to sell that small plot of land to someone and them build a tall super-skinny tower there.  Seems the only option would be to eventually sell it to Four Seasons to build that 2nd tower almost exactly like the first one.

Hotel/Condo Tower up to the 18th floor.

My view of Four Seasons is between the Viridian and Pinnacle towers, looking east.  It is going to be quite a dramatic addition to the skyline.

I really don’t think they have any plans for it but probably assume it will be developed with something at some point thus the blank wall.

Just not sure that parking lot is really large enough for development (alone)...is it?  That lot looks to be about 75' long and maybe 30' wide...so about 2,250 sq ft.  Is that large enough to build a tall skinny?

How big is the Diner's parcel comparatively? Could you pull of something like that?

To that end, it seems like it would be super expensive to blow out and expand that section of the Four Seasons if they did eventually buy that lot. And I think a large section of building right there is parking, so I don't see how it would be worth it.

Is not the old Trail West land,  just to the north on other side of bridge Available? Could it be feasible that they build the second tower on that property and buy that small parking lot and use it as part of an under bridge courtyard to connect the two ?

A pocket park or a place for food trucks would be cool.  But the idiots won't get much for that land now since you really can't do anything significant on it now.

Agreed.  I hope some day we learn the true story behind what happened there.
