Here it is y’all.

It was rushed during the convention center presentation though

I like it too. Hopefully it isn't too insular though. I want it to interact with the major streets through there rather than inward. I personally like the scale of the tallest towers much better. I think that proposed 80 story building while cool to have, wouldn't have fit in with the surroundings ...

I love the streetscape proposed in these renderings. What do y’all think? Some of these were already posted, but the pics cropped out some of the buildings. 8BFA8669-BC48-43EC-B7DF-FAF263A03595.jpeg EFDB4C15-6903-451F-B2D4-098CFCCD5448.jpeg E466615C-9D6F-47EC-B40F-9C18C900FE05.jpeg CABF52DC-81F6-459...

When is work on the Hi Line Connector happening? I was just over there last weekend and didn't se any work going on. It’s due to this Amid Controversy Over Hi-Line Connector Trail Project, Construction Company Sues Dallas https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/construction-company-sues-city-over-hi-li...

^^^^ The Design District is largely a warehouse district. But so far, the initial improvements makes me optimistic. At least the area is headed in the right direction.

dallaz

This area is really coming together. And with the Hi-Line Connector Trail being built in the median of Hi-Line Drive, it’s gonna be even better. It’s gonna be a major asset connecting to the Katy Trail. Here’s a short neighborhood walking video tour from 4 months ago with the completion of the Urby ...

Preston Center is like small Ballston or mini-Rosslyn in Arlington, VA. You'd almost think there just had to be a train stop there somewhere or a super major bus center, but, yeah. Based on how the area looks, I would’ve thought the same thing. But since that area fought against being up-zoned, I d...

Yo, why am I just now realizing that this project has an office component? I’m over here thinking it was all residential. I really need to stop skimming through when I read lol

Palm Trees are native to the area. Particularly, the Dwarf Palmetto. I’ve seen these planted across the area. Especially, in drought tolerant landscapes.

Not sure about the taller ones though

I think the elevation already starts at 101 ft above sea level. To do some complicated math, the elevations would from ground level would be at its tallest 245ft above the pavement and then 148ft at its shortest. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for pointing that out. I could barely see that...

Found this on the Urban Design Peer Review Board

Pegasus Park

Finally found the Urban Peer Review Board Presentation Goldman’s Campus is 346 ft (tallest potion). The shorter portion is 249 ft. So, it’s not far off in comparison to what has gone up in the surrounding area. The Crescent is around 249 ft. (Renderings and site plan included ;) ) Honestly, I though...

Dallas's day in the sun will come for skyscrapers. Downtown LA was dormant from a skyscraper standpoint for a long time as well, and now it's seen a number of new buildings in the past 10-20 years. Dallas had it's skyscraper time, it was the 1980s. I will never understand the obsession with skyscra...

Cool! More downtown office buildings are planned to be converted to other uses.

I was thinking the same about 1700 Pacific. That building never seems busy.

dallaz

The dirty little secret is that there isn't a residential component and there never really was... Then WTH is going on that lot? :lol: Whatever an eventual buyer of the lot decides to put there. Thanks for that! Well…there’s no telling how long that will take or if it will happen at all. :roll:

The Goldman Sach's building is a monumental disappointment. How do you squeeze 900,000 sf into 16 floors? This will be one of the largest buildings built in Dallas over the last 30 years and it may not reach 200 feet in height. The city gave over a million dollars per floor in tax incentives. Austi...

Perhaps it was just a poor choice of words, but saying Target was a "bidder" on first floor retail space makes me very skeptical. Why would they be "bidding" on retail space in highly speculative buildings? (Not to mention, if Target were to locate in this development, it seems ...

Portman_Dallas+Gateway.south.view.jpg I believe it's being built in phases, but Portman Holdings doesn't play fast and loose with their intentions. I think they are totally committed to this project.

I agree with the sentiments above! Love the addition of walkable retail near the Arts Distirct. Hopefully, it’ll add some much needed vibrancy to the Arts District area. Plus the significant amount of residential that’s being added is potentially transformative for the area. Does anyone know if it’s...

So has this officially started or are they using this site to help work on the 23 springs building next door? I seen this DMN article on Reddit… construction has started.

Did anyone take screenshots? Can't see it since the site is now down. They are pretty much what is posted here, except a little bit wider view that included a portion of the second tallest tower.

This is so Dallas. In their desperate attempts to save downtown Dallas, city council moves the performing arts from Fair Park to downtown, moves the sciences museum from Fair Park to downtown, and moves the DTC from the Kalita to downtown (and then throw them in to an "arts district" that...

Yep, tired of boxes. Don't want to be the next Atlanta and stick a tapering spire on every second building, but Dallas and Houston really have more than enough flat crowned boxy old jobs already.

harwood.14.newest.rendering.jpg I think this is a terrific design & would be a welcome addition to the skyline. I like seeing a 43-story tower North of Woodall Rogers Frwy. I do hope that Harwood will eventually announce it. They are great at getting commitments from companies for leasing new t...

don't understand the hate for this design. It’s most definitely a nice looking building overall...well, to me. I just wish the cladding was uniform on the parking podium to disguise the garage. Based on the renderings, it is partially cladded with glass and what I assume to be some metal grate pane...

It's not my favorite cup of tea but it's definitely more interesting and daring than everything else in that area (apart from the small Rolex building which is nice). I'd rather have this than the awful plain glass boxes they've been building in Harwood that look like they could easily be from 2004...

Here’s the presentation from the OLC. It looks like the building’s height is 382 Ft. It look great to me. What do y’all think?

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. And the site near Field St too. Maybe the design has grown on me, I don’t love it…but I also don’t rea...
