Actually they’re all under ground in the pedestrian tunnels. Particularly in the summer. The Dallas Pedestrian Network or Dallas Pedway is a system of grade-separated walkways covering thirty-six city blocks of downtown Dallas. The system connects buildings, garages and parks through tunnels and abo...

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

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.

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.

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.

I think the big hole with the crane bounded by Welborn, Congress, Brown and Hood streets just south of Oaklawn Ave is the contruction site for a 22-story apartment or condo tower. If I’m not mistaken there isn’t any renderings out yet,

Don’t know if this has been posted but I assume it’s just another mock up of the tallest tower in the Midtown Development.

I’m thinking this tower will be built on top of a parking garage and may not reach max height 620 ft. I’m also surprised that the FAA ruling on this, since there is no flight path through that area.

The Hines 23-story Victory Park Center office tower has not started construction. It has been a proposal for several years. So, why is Hines proposing to build a second office tower in the same vicinity of the Victory Park area?

New Renderings?

One last note; DFW metro area is number one in the nation for office leasing as of the latest figures, yet we can’t erect an office skyscraper downtown like Houston can.
Do we still have to much empty space downtown?

Eye popping addition, it may be from street level next to it but it won’t be from a distance, it seems that good design buildings in Dallas are getting lost between to many other mid high-rises. For example the new Rolex and the McKinney & Olive buildings great designs but needed to be taller to...

Yeah, I was thinking the same when I drove down Canton St. last week. Still no sign of activity, in fact it looked like the parking lots are still operating. I don’t think they have even drilled for soil samples. The first phase is supposed to start this fall. Just doesn’t look like it. We just have...

I too pass by it everyday, glad to see this tower rise faster now, I predict it will be topped out before the end of next Spring.

I think eventually it will get covered, they just want to finish the tower and maybe because they don’t want the glass to be damaged during the worst part of the construction is my guess.

DFW

I noticed that construction has stalled for about the last three weeks at the top. Does this mean that the tower is about to get started from the top of the base and just takes more time? Sorry if I missed it, but I hope no miscalculation has occurred.

I know the structure height of 895 may not be allowed by the FAA. I’m thinking they are testing the FAA to determine how high is allowed for this location. Remember what Harwood International did with those tall towers Uptown.
