This is truly a unique building. An upscale JW Marriott hotel sitting on top of parking garage. I don't think I've ever seen a set up like this before.

Almost all the new high rise hotels in Nashville sit atop a parking garage, including the new Four Seasons.
But at least in Nashville, these types of structures look a lot less conspicuous (ugly).

The problem is how many of the tenants here are fast causal and how many are sit-down, valet-driven restaurants. We want both types in places like this. Lord knows Downtown will never survive on chef-driven fine dining, but so many fast casual brands struggle in our urban environment cause many times, the drive-through or strip center versions are close by. In the case of Uptown, you have many strip centers across the street from an urban walkable project and the fast-casual place will always choose the strip center with overwhelmed parking lot rather than a garage-supported ground floor space even if the parking garage has a FREE Parking sign. Parking in a garage like this to run in and get McDonald's or Chipotle seems like a waste of energy for most of Dallas since most are driving. So in many cases, before the train has even left the station it's running out of track.

I had to go back and take a look at the renderings...this is kinda underwhelming. Maybe I just need to see it in person.

I just hope the residential component get done too. The Olive St side is quite ugly.

The dirty little secret is that there isn't a residential component and there never really was...

Then WTH is going on that lot?

Another Building sharing their exposed asshole (unmasked garage) to the world. Dallas loves crappy architecture

Whatever an eventual buyer of the lot decides to put there.

Curious on what basis you are pretty sure Atelier is doing pretty well…. From the available units shown on their website, it looks like they are just under 89% occupied and that’s after they unloaded about almost 10% of their units to a “hotel” operating company.

89% occupancy is pretty good for a tower that is only about 18 moths old (even with 10% of the units leased to a "hotel" operating company).

Atelier's partnership with Mint House was short lived after overwhelming negative feedback from residents (including myself), ending about six months ago.

Ahhh… thanks for the update. This (the fact that it infuriates renters) is among the reasons well-performing apartment buildings don’t tend to enter into these faux hotel arrangements.

I don't know if that's true. I've seen brand new apartments enter such agreements almost as soon as they start leasing. These deals are very lucrative for them.
But are there any high rise apartments around downtown that are not doing well? They all seem to have fairly good occupancy.
