What is Discord?

Nevermind, I'm probably 'way too old.

^ Fantastic shot! And, coincidently, that building may be for sale on the (relatively) cheap.

The Nancy Best Fountain at Klyde Warren Park http://www.samclarkjr.com/images/nancy_best_fountain.jpg From The Dallas Morning News: Nancy Best, a longtime board member of Klyde Warren Park, and her educational entrepreneur husband, Randy, are giving the park and the city a $10 million Christmas gif...

How did I miss this one, right on Central Expressway? Weird. I'm blaming it on Covid-19.

Designed for people with only ONE trust fund.

And it would also be nice to someday fill that hole in the ground at Lebanon and Dallas Parkway.

If they build that monster, Tivo. I'll have to agree with you.

Nothing. I want to see everything new in the area migrate across the 121 to Frisco's Platinum District.

I'm telling you, when the masks come off, this town is going to explode with growth like we've never seen before.

texasstar

After this pandemic subsides, we could be looking at the biggest boom Dallas has ever seen!

texasstar

This is really a big deal for Downtown. Such a nice anchor to move focus toward the southern rim of the CBD. Exciting times ahead!

texasstar

Thanks, Troy! And especially thanks for the tip on Stuck in Customs. I picked up the Aurora software and I absolutely love it.

^ Nice updates, Maconahey! Thanks!

texasstar

Wonder why this tower is STILL not included on SkyscraperPage.com. Even if there is no diagram drawn yet, there should still be an empty spot for it.

texasstar

I do have one question. If Blue Ceil is really 390 feet tall, then how is a 388-foot-tall building now the tallest in Harwood?

texasstar

cowboyeagle05 wrote:Well its 27 stories?

The 27 office floors will be "stacked" on top of the parking layer. So, this tower will be 36 stories tall.

texasstar

I turned the TV off in disgust after that failed 2-point conversion attempt.
Imagine my surprise...

^ Gerald D Hines was one of my childhood heroes. He built One Shell Square in New Orleans in 1972 and introduced me to the concept of the modern skyscraper. RIP.

texasstar

^ As a long-time subscriber, I really love the "member exclusive" articles.

As always, this is a tough crowd.

The thing I'm looking forward to the most, is the new Observation Deck!

texasstar

This would be SO awesome!

texasstar

^ Thanks, I45Tex! There are some real gems in this collection!

texasstar

Note the building in the lower left corner of the photo above. The 19-story Rio Grande National Life building only existed for 20 years before it was demolished to make way for the Renassance Tower. Shortest life span of any high-rise ever?

texasstar

This is so far past crazy. I don't know what to call it.

This area really turned out nice! Good work, AT&T.

^OMFG

I am facing the grim realization that I will probably not live long enough to see this built.

So, is picture number 1 circa 1986?

^ or even better, quadruple.

texasstar

^ Great shot!

texasstar

That really is baffling. Tried to see comments, but there doesn't appear to be any.

texasstar

LOL, don't you miss him.

texasstar

So, this is TWO 30-story towers. If this were all in one tower, it would be the 60-story goodness we all long for. But, that would probably never get approved. Because, Love Field.

texasstar

Great shots, Troy and Maconahey!

texasstar

Nice surprise!
