With so many tower projects in the works for downtown Austin, picking a favorite is a lot like picking a favorite child -- you've probably got one, but it's not polite to talk about in front of the other buildings. Still, the Avenue apartment tower planned at 721 Congress Avenue is high on my list, for a number of reasons.
It's a good-looking tower, yeah, and the street-level design plays nice with its historic neighbors the Paramount and State Theatres . . .
