The Austin skyline features a mix of old and new buildings, including The Independent.
A look above the treeline of the developing Austin skyline. The treeline is thick and green with mature leafy trees and takes up the bottom one third of the image. In the center above the treeline is The Independent. On the left, barely above the treeline is the top of a skyscraper under construction. The top three floors appear to be framed with wood. There is a construction crane extending up slightly and to the left of the top. To the right and down from this building are two shorter residential towers. The left one has beige and white vertical rectangles. The right one has blue green glass windows with one tall white rectangle on its right side. Two more buildings are on the right in the image showing above the treeline. The first building is silver with a curved face that is narrower on the top three stories. At its top the roof dips down and is dark gray. The far right building top comes to a point. The point faces up and to the right that creates an angle on each side. The window glass is dark gray with thin silver frames.
