Re: Uptown Dallas: Crescent Point Tower (415 FT | 30 ST)

Wow, what an unbelievable transformation for that area the last few years. Selene, Maple Terrace, 2811 Maple, 23 Springs, and now this, all within a block or two. Even more if you stretch out another block or so. I believe Harwood still has another lot right behind 23 Springs on Bookhout slated for ...

Re: Harwood District: Bleu Ciel (390 FT / 33 ST)

I know there is a price point to make these kind of developments work, but if these units started around $700k instead of $1M or whatever, even if you lost 30% of square footage, I think no question, these would have sold like crazy. You look at the condos going up everywhere in so many not-so-great...

Pray pray pray they take ground-floor retail seriously in this building. The canyons of parking garages in between KWP and Uptown are one of the biggest wasted opportunities in the whole city.

Some confusion in this thread... Most of this page is not relevant to the rest of the thread. Harwood 12 is not the hotel. Harwood 12 is the TBD "tallest building in Uptown" that was supposed to break ground in 2020, but sits untouched, fenced off northeast of CVS. As for the hotel - offic...

Re: Harwood District: No.14 (388 FT / 27 ST)

This project, while not remarkable, it does add good density to that area. There's still 4-5 spots that can be built on in that northern stretch of Harwood. Hopefully we see those fill in as well. It's taken a while and seemed iffy at times, but their Rue Perdue is starting to look really good. The...

Re: Uptown Dallas - Field Street Development [North End Apartments Site]

80 stories in this location would be wild. This site would seem to be even more disconnected from the rest of the skyline than BOA is from certain angles. Coming in on I-35, for example, or say from Trinity Groves, this would absolutely dwarf everything else.

Re: Harwood Int'l District: No.12 Harwood Hotel (20 ST)

Anybody know what the delay is here? Or if this is still even proceeding as planned?

This building topped out late spring, early summer 2020. There’s been hardly any movement at all in at least a full year.
