Yes! That lot was such a waste, an exciting design albeit a bit quirky

Am I wrong in thinking the hotel portion won’t rise above KPMG, just the residential part will?

I find it interesting how many horizontal sun screens are popping up ever since the winspear seemingly created a new vernacular for the region. Pretty cool.

buildingswithlegs

That parking garage screen is pretty interesting. It will be interesting to see this one finished

I imagine that there will be two cranes, one for the hotel and one for the tower portion. This seems to be for the hotel, no?

buildingswithlegs

Doesn't seem huge in sqft, but the design does seem quite special. Really exciting project. Glad they're using a Texas architect.

Is it me or is all this wildly inappropriate for a forum about urban development?

The nub is back!

The low density gives this tower such great views... perfect for sales, weird for city planning.

Why can't dallas build apartments with some more exciting architecture? It seems like this is the most apt spot to really try something fresh. Sandwiched between the energy of the EMC and the energy of the farmers market. It's truly prime real estate! Attached are some new designs/buildings in DC an...

Holy crap what a piece of suburban junk. Why not make it look like the brick buildings nearby, or like a cool mid century loft building with massive windows, this is awful I wouldn't go so far as to call it suburban but it's really not great looking. But this is from the firm that designs the new l...

I think they should include the underside of Woodall Rogers as part of the Klyde Warren extension. Program it however it suits it (skate park, or otherwise) but make it all one big project!

buildingswithlegs

Looks a lil more "developer-y" than initially proposed. Which is okay, I guess, but Bishop Artsy types might not like it.

Good question. The building has been under construction for almost three years. When do they expect to complete this thing?

The instagram says "The wait ia almost over... opening soon"

Dallas should just release a blanket incentives packet for anything in the city limits with a few recommendations. The incentives are the ultimate draw for a dallas campus. The victory park proposal is very enticing in my view

buildingswithlegs

What they need is a "large" corporate tenant who wants a walkable campus to come in gobble up the galleries and the railway right of way and build out that pedestrian passageway to Victory Park under Stemmons to the DART station... Corporate could do it or Dallas could balls up and pass s...

Uptown is looking downright dense!

Why can't get we get some residential towers over here? I for one am glad they are keeping it down in scale. A farmers market in Texas will never be the same attraction as a market in Europe, but it makes for a good brunch, a nice stroll and a neighborhood anchor. The Farmers Market area has always...

Wythe Hotel, Brooklyn done in a converted textile factory. Why not DE? http://blondetigers.com/hotel-life-brooklyn/ the Wythe hotel looks like it would fit in deep ellum but it is a very expensive and classy joint... i can't imagine the market in Deep Ellum has demand for something so high class (n...

I believe the "8-story podium" is off to the side and not contributing to the overall height of the tower

buildingswithlegs

Oh the irony, those who love in the design district are definitely not virgins.

Eataly?! That'd be huge for dallas!

Looks way taller than KPMG.

by my count it is 28 stories. add to that that the floor to floor heights are probably greater than KPMG and you get a considerably taller building

buildingswithlegs

man, this portion of Hall's complex has really shrunk over the years. just a few years ago it was to be 39 stories.

Cough *cough *... turns head to the trinity...

downtown brooklyn just got an urban Target at City Place and it is awesome... little slice of suburban convenience in the city. i could see it being wildly successful on oak lawn

fantastic architect! really exciting project

that parking garage is upsetting

buildingswithlegs

I was wondering about the same thing, especially since the Arts District says they want more residential there. So where would it go? Unless google maps of the area is way off, there are tons of surface parking lots to the southeast and southwest that can still be developed. They have plenty of spa...

i believe the idea is that it would come well after the D2 and Cotton Belt, but am unsure. i may have gotten too excited and shared something that is undercooked.

I heard a rumor that the DART line right there may be buried underground at some point in the distant future and then TGS would be made into a Subway station! I would love for this to really happen... any idea if it's real?

Would love to see a pic from the Belmont hotel or somewhere in West dallas to see how this one is effecting the skyline

"The project for Rolex is an opportunity to introduce a layer of human-scaled nature into this car-driven lifestyle of Dallas. The silhouette of the building twists out of its site as a series of floor plates and louvers for shading–not as a solid mass, but as many layers, like a deck of cards....

That's precisely what I mean, we actually have something desirable spilling into VP and it's not anchored by the arena as was the original plan.

buildingswithlegs

it's amazing how, here, development continues despite the eminent removal of the mavericks from victory park.

Not to mention the new arts district masterplan making the site more accessible (fingers crossed)
