Well, I would assume this project may be dead. After the city granted them incentives of 96.1 million yet they can’t get any tenants.

What’s this about the development being a campus like setting which will only be 15 to 20 stories? Is this for real?
Or is this a heard it through the grapevine thing or what?

I did notice that a bunch of car barriers blocks piled up just to the right side of the True Lucks restaurant parking lot. Don't know if this means anything

DFW

Wow! Now that’s what I call great architecture. This is what I have been waiting for a long time. Hope it comes to fruition.

DFW

“Next month start” is this for real, that will be the day.

DFW

I heard that the North End Apartments actually stopped taking leases as early as last February.

DFW

Regardless what the city council said, they are no experts when it comes to this large developments. I don’t think that Hunt will hold back the taller buildings and just build for GS, not when they have to demolish the huge North End Apartments that occupies all the entire land they are going to bui...

DFW

Wow!
Im starting to get lost in all these skyscraper developments downtown.

Could this eventually become a building boom like the 1980s?

DFW

I believe they got the info wrong, just because it’s over 80-stories they think it will be the tallest. But who knows we haven’t seen the final plans.

DFW

From local NBC News:

DFW

Wow! Very impressive renders, hope it will happen.

DFW

No mention of a 50-story tower under Atlanta Portman’s website yet, but then it could be updated soon. Hopefully this does happen but I won’t believe it till I see it, we are living in a precarious economy right now.

DFW

They say that the North End Apartments stoped taking leases back in January or February. Still this will take awhile, but regardless it’s good news.

DFW

Not sure if this is same project.

Just hoping that if there is a third tower it will not be 27-stories, it will be kinda odd to have three towers at the same height all together. Hopefully it may be taller as the center piece of the Development. I’m sure the developer is going to wait to see how fast or how well the leasing will be.

DFW

I don’t think the fence was replaced. A new cover to the fence was added featuring the renderings of the Field Street Tower.
This was done at least more than a month ago. Regardless, I can’t believe that this development was first announced way back in 2013 and still nothing.

Wow! Looks impressive., but when will dirt start flying?

DFW

We must break the mold!!
People want optimism, not fear. So now that starts with fixing ourselves. Because while all this fearmongering is going on and it’s prolong, fixing ourselves is going to be harder and scarier than any virus or economic collapse.

DFW

Since the center piece 83-story tower is based for residential at 890-ft in height. If it is changed to be all office, it would be well over 1000 and closer to 1200-ft, that is if Goldman Sachs wants this tower for office.

DFW

Now that we can see the top of the taller tower we can at least get a better perspective. Since this development is mix-used, the short one is actually the 42-story tower and the taller one is maybe about 50 or up to 60 stories?

DFW

Thanks, definitely a great infill.

DFW

That future street level scene is absolutely great, I would like someone to post both the new and current street level scene together just to see the difference. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know any info on about when the first phase of NewPark Dallas (One Newpark) is to start. Don’t see any info on their link. Did the COVID-19 have any setbacks even though it was announced last October?

DFW

Actually the crane will be raised even higher later on during construction at some point. It’s a two step crane. This will be a site to see during construction from Stemmons Freeway and definitely when both towers are finished.

DFW

They may look somewhat ugly open but there is a reason. Enclosed above ground and or underground parking garages require significant design efforts from a mechanical ventilation system. Therefore an architectural perspective that is more expensive.

Actually they’re all under ground in the pedestrian tunnels. Particularly in the summer.

Going now on 7 years and still nothing to show, This is what Perot envisioned back in 2013 after the property purchase. “We are excited about this property in what we see as one of the last iconic sites in Dallas,” Perot said in a prepared statement. “We see tremendous potential in this site and env...

Sounds kinda fishy. The date filed 5-7-20 is the same as the other one 2200 Pacific Tower. Why would both be filed on the same date?

DFW

Hmm....not sure why the FAA links indicate the corner of Field St. as being the SW corner and the second link is showing the NE corner?

DFW

Overall I like the design particularly the base area, interesting, great addition.

I’m guessing this rising cap is a new feature for this type of a sloping glass roof. It’s to provide security for the window washers who I believe have been training and testing it lately.

DFW

The building’s actual height should 592 feet because the roof cap rises to that height. LOL

DFW

Wouldn’t it be cool if somehow the developer could incorporate this Leaning Tower of Dallas Into it’s development. Well it would draw more tourists to it and mean more business. LOL

DFW

Great! Even though the second Fountain Place tower was never built back in the eighties and would have been taller, this tower very nicely filled it’s place. In fact I think it looks different from more given angles than Fountain Place Tower.

DFW

Can’t believe it’s been more than half a year since they started on the crown structure part. It has been a slow process but finally glad to see we’re getting there.

DFW

Wonder why the entire office space was not in one tower as a centerpiece? There’s no height restrictions there. It simply looks to crowded. What’s with all those podiums? It needs some useable green areas and space for pedestrians.

DFW

Hope this link works. Construction has begun for Eastline 28-story Apt tower here is the rendering. https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2019/10/28/mockingbird-station.html?ana=TRUEANTHEMFB_DA&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_content=5db829f48021ed000132a9d4&utm_medium=...

The likely aspect of the podiums for the office towers is to bring in retail and people together.

DFW

Found this, awesome renderings, very interesting. I believe this was the latest one. Now being called NewPark Dallas

The top crown section has been slow to complete but I noticed yesterday that the east top slanted section is now getting the glass installed. Looking good.
