1,000 feet! Very impressive-Austin is really establishing itself as a high-tier skyline, however, in the long term, it is somewhat unfortunate that all of the buildings there are getting built at the same time. ---

This building reiterates the very high standards of NY. If this were proposed for the Grand Hyatt site, 2 WTC, or as the new JPMC HQ, New Yorkers would go ballistic. In Austin, however, it’s embraced as a sign of “We’ve arrived.” ---

No. That’s the total height the tower will stick in the air from sea level. So tower height + ground elevation. FAA needs to know this due to flight paths. Tower height alone is 1034 feet. ---
