This looks to be a couple floors away from being topped out.....

Proposed 23-story tower would bring about 500 residences to Victory Park Project previously estimated to cost $150 million to build https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2024/03/05/victory-park-residential-tower-hines.html New plans have surfaced for what would be a prominent high-rise on one of ...

The lot where Jake's used to be. Couple of rigs unloading some heavy machinery. Feb 21 around 1pm.

Looks like in the lot directly to the west of The 23. Just north of the EY Bldg.

A lot of heavy machinery on site.

In that top pic, if you keep going north on Field street, you'll drive directly into the window of that dentist office at street level of Cirque.

Definitely moving dirt and have at least one new temporary structure in place...

Still pretty much entirely underground work around the perimeter. Crews are active M-F

Ate at the new Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer in Victory Park last night. I believe it opened a couple weeks ago. Cool vibe and very good burgers. They have some pretty wild looking shakes but I was too full to get one. Not inexpensive, but worth a try.

It is waaaaay more expensive to build one 31 floor bldg than to build 3 shorter ones even when the total square footage comes out the same. I know....I'm disappointed too.

I have seen this timelapse on Reddit, thought I should share it. Looks like movement on the site. Still waiting for construction to start on this one… Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dallas/comments/11zwgvi/some_have_a_groundhog_i_have_a_blinding/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_na...

Very cool! I love the look, top to bottom. Really hope this comes to fruition as presented.....

Urban Toreador

If you google "northend dallas" and click on "images" at the top, you can see the renderings. Somewhat blurry but they are there at least as of right now.

Urban Toreador

Not a ton of changes over the last couple weeks. Mostly working on some underground pipes, primarily on the Houston Street side. All the concrete you see is leftover from the apartments that were there.

citygeek wrote:This is a really cheap and 'suites hotel' looking 'tower.' My God, a JW Marriott and this is the best you can do? The one here in Water Street in DT Tampa is bigger and nicer looking.

Yeah it looks like they cut off the top 25 floors and just left a little stump. Disappointing.

Urban Toreador

Anyone know why this one large piece of glass is replaced with a wood panel on the north side of the bldg about half way up?

Urban Toreador

All but one of the excavators are off site. Not much change over the last several days. There is still a lot of the old concrete foundation in place, so not sure what the plan is for getting rid of it. The bottom right corner of the first pic shows some street work being done on Houston in relation ...

Yeah they remind me of our cheap Christmas lights when I was a kid in the 70s.

Urban Toreador

Across from the Perot you can see where they have removed the concrete and exposed the underlying dirt.

Urban Toreador

They'll have a nice view directly into their neighbor's unit.....

Current status....

Urban Toreador

The last of the vertical structures is about to come down. All the concrete foundations are still in place. They have moved at a brisk pace.

Again, no idea why the thumbnails are upside down, but click on them to see it right side up. Anyone that can tell me how to prevent that?

Urban Toreador

Today's demolition progress:

No clue why these appear upside down. Click on the pic to see it right side up.

Urban Toreador

They've already knocked down one concrete garage. The remnants are on the right side of the bottom pic.

They've got machinery in there and stuff is definitely moving.

There are a lot of sizable green pipes laying on the ground along the wall on Houston St.

I've got a front row view of this project and will make it a point to post pics as frequently as I can.

Urban Toreador

Crane is coming down.....

Urban Toreador

Another boondoggle. Anyone want to wager if it will be over budget and not completed on time?

Urban Toreador

No but I did notice a lot of neon pink spray paint on the sidewalks around the complex marking things like utility covers. These are new.

Urban Toreador

Anyone know how leasing is going for this building? From where I live I can see into it and it doesn't look like much buildout has taken place yet....

Urban Toreador

Crane coming down today. I have a very good view of this project from where I live and notably, over the last many weeks, there has been seemingly very little activity there. At the most I can see a handful of workers on site and very little progress being made. And I can see through the glass on th...

Crane on the west side is gone as of today.
