Why did they shrink it to 26 from 28?

Amazing not a single car in that pic.

This one is topped off?

^That tower just looks like Jersey, hope what they do here comes in much better. I think it will just based on the renderings and it is nice that the skyline is being pulled northwest a bit.

Something is about to happen!

Reminds me a bit of the Jersey City Urby which is fairly unattractive. Hope the color is better, white would be better than grey.

Roanoke certainly seeing dramatic change.

Nice shot! Certainly adds much to VP. What floor are they on?

So is this distant picture an accurate representation of what might be built here? Or just fluff? https://dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/OYIEfaYp1WZTRpJA8RHDqngGqiU=/1660x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/dmn/LZDYHR6XB5EZ7OILD553ZEQ6YY.jpg

I liked their second version the best, the taller sculpted glass tower. Seemed to fit better with it's neighbors.

Maybe we need a thread for the ugliest building in Dallas. Sounds like we have a lot of candidates.

So based on the KDC cam view this looks like they are moving past the garage phase and just starting to work on the office tower phase.

I keep hearing that Dallas has once again emerged as the relocation city of choice and that the more severe lockdown requirements in California are driving more out of that state. Something could be brewing here. I think its an odd location to shop a 60 story tower without some reason. Uber could be...

It's too bad if they do manage to kill off this one too, lots of potential for Preston Center but then I guess potential is a bad thing if you live around it and don't want outsiders around. Have to see what council approves.

Does it fall within existing zoning requirements? I don't know the height of the towers and if a variance would be required. Yes, they can. The developer also wants to sink the garage and put a green area to connect the shopping area. But the fancy neighborhood doesn't want to attract "outside...

Is this still going forward as planned?

Looks very nice, wonder if the surrounding hoods will object?

Well, they laid off the overwhelming majority of their staff in early March so have been operating with a skeleton crew since then. Not sure what that means going forward.

Hmmm, wonder who it is?

Maybe they are waiting to see how AMLI and Atelier do before committing to another new residential project so close to Ross. Don't those two account for close to 700 units?

Maybe there is a relo looking hard at central city. If so some of these FAA inquiries could make sense.

I wonder what this current reality will mean for Hillwood's plan for this property. Maybe they will be forced to be more creative in their thinking.
