Before this gets really confusing, this isn't a tower in Field Street District project thread. This is a different tower/project, unless of course, they decide this can also be called part of the greater "Field St. District" - lol - since all of it ties-in to making significant changes in ...

It's really only a loss locally if the teams from the US, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, or a few others make it to the final - and, it's not played local. Otherwise, the area is still hosting World Cup matches. It's all good. I'll be there, somehow.

I figured there would eventually be a temporary parking lot. So when the parking garage underneath the private green space is done and covered - the private green space that the public can access and cross through will go in on top, and, the project's internal sidewalks as well. Possibly the interna...

The rendering has never been confirmed to be correct, also.

One building right now.

Ikea Airport Dwelling Unit.

Their permits are issued to them to build down 7 levels and the first floor, though, as of mid-December.

Stormwater and utilities under or at least adjacent to Woodall Rodgers service road. Some goes through February and some goes through October. I imagine there's a point where the tower can start moving downward without the longer-term work on Woodall being totally done once the 2 closed lanes open b...

I watched the other late afternoon a lot of movement from the site was actually related to laying massive steel plates on to the Woodall Rodgers service road adjacent to KWP/Miriam's. I'm not sure anything layed down on site currently has anything to do with building a tower any time tomorrow. One t...

Multiple height points of a building, all corners, and, so on. Some applications are incredibly thorough.

Not to mention you could still fit another modest-sized mid-rise building on the same site and delete the rotunda of forgotten dreams.

Funny thing is, Texas Commerce Tower has the right shape to easily be at least partially res. 45' from core to windows isn't too bad. I think currently it sits at around 240KSFish empty. Which, isn't absolute shite relatively - I guess it could already be worse right now. Unique opportunities up top...

The crane must be free. How much to start a bungee jump operation from it? Haha.

The crane tower that won't leave the backdrop of every photo in that part of town for over a year. Without even moving.
It's part of the new Harwood Park isn't it? : ) Surprise!

I must've posted my last batch only on our Discord because I did some the last couple of months, oops. Here's some from today during a really quick walk. This one is only focusing on the new tower, I'll have to go back and find some others of the original building and the new box I took not too long...

Quick takes today, next time from another vantage point hopefully:

I'll move over to Maple Ave to get a different vantage next time. It's just quicker and easier for me to pop in and out on this side.

Quick run:

I'll walk over. I get so used to it, I don't always think about taking the photos haha.

Feel free to make a new thread about The Diplomat site if we don't already have one. (I don't think we do, do we?)

Thanks for the renderings also.

Man, I really didn't read that first sentence correctly in the article the first time. Haha, I need a do-over.

Thank you for the updates!

If it has piling/foundation work, other than just a hole, it's officially under construction according to the CTBUH. Also, it can just stop construction! Fun. But, seriously, it's been a long while since Turtle Creek actually warmed up like this. The forum has been around a long time and seen a lot ...

And, just like that, a large new-construction, not occupied or fully completed yet, 5-ish story apartment complex has been on fire for about more than half a day now.

I was reading that, but, got instantly distracted by those interesting articles on ze screen about converting 4 Stemmons Towers from the '60s-ish to residential and a 1960-something Garland mid-rise into residential also. Squirrel!

Something similar to DFWIA revenue sharing perhaps?

^Lol. The empty (and relatively newish) One West Village (TRG/Richards Group Building that looks like a giant gamer's desktop unit) layout would suit quite the nice library. The amount of parking would seem to be unnecessary, lending to maybe some re-purposing of a couple of levels or so. Of course,...

Yep. Would look so much better not there.

Alternate universe: Costco goes IKEA-beast-mode and makes the whole building a showroom store. With hot dogs? Maybe a few lucky people could even bunk for the night with room service, trying out a new fully-furnished and televised new room they want at home.

Maybe they can also put in a giant eyeball.

Haven't noticed anyone talking about this becoming "The Mirabelle", a possible hotel conversion, yet.

I guess this is in lieu of becoming residential.

Indeed. The mythical building.

There's actually a sign there on the lot. Not sure how long it has been there. Walked by today, but, didn't bother to take a photo.

$6M and 14KSF. So, kinda the size of 1-2 CVSgreens, and, a 100-year build quality to match. Sweet! ; )

Funny thing is, the reason they are all parking lots all around Fountain Place and on and on is because developers did find it inviting at a time here and there back whenever. Parking lots are easier to develop than dropping a building, so why not go there first instead one could wonder. Although, w...

I don't think this one has been mentioned. The Julien. Fairly small site on the 3500 block of Fairmount. Looks like very few units. Must cost a few dollars. Pictures ensue: 3503fairmont001.png 3503fairmont002.png 3503fairmont003.png 3503fairmont004.png 3503fairmont005.png 3503fairmont006.png

I would imagine where Two Victory Park was supposed to go.

And I am pretty damn excited and thankful. I think a lot of us must have talked about it elsewhere online or in person! I definitely heard quite a bit of fireworks for about an hour. Honking, all that shtuff. I think a lot of people said OMG (and a sigh of relief) on that final pitch and subsequent ...

Oh, an underground mall!

Lol. (And, Go Rangers.)
