Victory Park’s newest developments head for an opening next year Developer Hillwood’s new Victory Commons office building and the 39-story Victor apartments are being built next to the American Airlines Center. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2020/09/18/victory-parks-newest-developm...

Epic II already above grade.

Side note....the new Victory Park tower looks great from this angle.

Still like that Mandarin tower, hope it looks that good when it gets completed.

Looks like a ton of garage space. Have they started on the office floors yet?

Southwest Airlines needs ‘business to double in order to break even,’ CEO says

That's an insane loop!

Had to go back and look, 15 story hotel on top of 10 floors of parking. Not bad.

If nothing else the lighter colors are refreshing additions for the skyline.

Nice they she'll be all cleaned up!

Is that the crane coming down?

I think it makes sense if business users are coming to town to go to meetings or visit clients in that building. Much easier to commute back and forth if it's just an elevator ride up to the top plus you get some of the vest views in the city up there.

Meet Block 16, a Downtown Austin Tower Plan Surprising Enough for 2020

So we have this on the south side of downtown and De La Vega and that massive development on the north side. Can Dallas absorb that much new space? Especially now?

Would love to see Harwood number 12 and some other uptown office projects start soon, they were very close to getting going right as the pandemic hit Might be good that they didn't start before the pandemic hit.

Looks like construction has reached ground level already.

They do have the advantage of being able to build something to deliver to a post pandemic world which could make the property much more attractive to potential office space shoppers.

Softer glow sounds great!

I like this a little bit better, did they add some height?

Seriously? I loved the building but didn't frequent it much.

Whats going in across the street from Sylvan 30, north east side of the Sylvan/FW Ave Intersection. Looked like work was underway last time I was over there.

That looks fantastic! Wish the giant screen were on but the whole thing has come together nicely.

Think I saw the crane when I drove up there one day, it appears to show up on the KDC Epic webcam as well.

What a great sidewalk!

I've seen some cities do some innovative things to help retail expand it's footprint during pandemic. Most of that means closing streets to cars and expanding the sideway experience to the full street. Basically creates a completely outdoor shopping experience and for restaurants it expands table op...

I'm not really sure what could be done to it, but I would think it would definitely need some windows. With all the high-end apartments being built today, perhaps this could be converted into a more budget-friendly urban living option instead? Budget friendly overlooking the river or a fantastic do...

So it took about three months to fill that below grade space? Nice updates, thanks for posting!

Can't get past the paywall. What street is he imagining to the North-South "Main Street"? In any event, gotta give him credit for a healthy imagination... The site seems ill-connected to the convention center, and it appears it would be difficult to remedy this. I don't see it as a good s...

Most projects seem to start late but I suppose they could be doing some prep work on top that we just can't see.

I'd like to see what they come up with for that concrete structure. Could they add floors to it? Windows, balconies and a few more floors might make it a desirable place to live. That parking lot on the east side has to go tho, that thing is pathetic.
