I think the 30-31 story residential tower next to this lot is supposed to kick off soon as well.

Which one is that again?

2811 Maple https://dallasmetropolis.com/dfwu/viewtopic.php?t=854

Fencing is up around this project. Demo should be starting very soon.

I was wondering that that fencing was for, glad to see some movement on this one!

Demo

From Dallas Business Journal:

Nice. I wonder if Harwood will still build on the previously planned "Glacier" residential high rise site behind this at some point...

This has officially started?

This website which was update yesterday says “Construction Commenced June 2022”

As far as I know, yes, but don't think a crane's up yet.

The site demolition is still in progress

They are digging down on this one....correct? Underground parking?

Yes, underground parking so this one will take a while but the existing buildings are coming down slowly so it will be forever before we see anything above ground or even the construction crane. They are fully vacated and being demoed.

Today on an afternoon walkabout:

(This also covers 2811 Maple, the free99 firewood site)

This building looks like it will stand out on the Uptown skyline nicely. I think there's another 30-story building going up next to it soon too.

One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong...

That rendering makes it look rather more dominant than it will in real life. It looks like they dropped a 1.5x rendering of 23Springs into a 1x photo of Uptown.

Yes, indeed, the site has been cleared for 2811 Maple, next to 23Springs. Looking forward to seeing construction get started on these two...

LOL. I always thought Philip Johnson's justification for his approach to the Crescent was...a stretch.

It's like having the monkey tell the flamingos how to run the zoo.

This rendering of the 2811 Maple Tower contains a glimpse of the 23 Springs Tower, which will be in close proximity of each other.

Really eager to see this one (actually this AND 2811 Maple) get underway. How is the demolition coming along on the 23Springs site? Any sign of digging commencing on 2811?

I hope someone will post photos as they progress.

It appears that those living in 2811 will have a nice view of 23 Springs. Almost a skyline blocking view.

Drove by here today and noticed a new fence placard up with images stretching around the property. This is going to be prominent along with the apartment tower behind it.

Sounds like construction might be coming soon?

Great, lets start digging!

Nice to see this project get going!

Which apartment tower are you referring to? Selene, the recently completed one across the street? Or another one (so much going on in this small area that I always have to ask what people are referring to... good problem to have though! )?

The apartment tower going up behind this building is the one at 2811 Maple: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=854

Ah yes, 2811 Maple, can't wait for it. Crescent, stop playin'.

Drove by this project today, and yes, the fence is wrapped in promotional materials, and there is equipment on site that appears to have just started digging, but I am not sure if they are still cleaning debris, including old foundations. This project will take forever before we see any above-ground work. They have a huge hole to dig for office parking. Parking ratios have only increased since the 80s, and this building is competing with the buildings in Frisco built with parking lots as far as the eye can see.

Any updates on this one?

There is a huge hole that is being carved out. I drive by this every day and thought I saw parts of a crane, but I'm not sure.

Cool. Thanks

They been digging a huge hole for long time.
Any evidence of a crane or cranes going up any time soon?

The depth of the hole for this tower probably corresponds to the number of underground parking levels this development requires. Since the tower is 31-stories tall, I'd imagine they'll need a lot of parking for residences and guests.

I'd post photos, but, nah. I see this and 2811 pretty much daily walking by. I'm sure someone will let us know the moment a crane goes up if I don't remember to mention it!

I'll believe these projects are really happening when I see Chinese subways peeking through the bottom of the hole

Was this meant to be in the 2811 Maple thread?

Looks like 1st crane goes up in early April and 2nd crane in early May

Huge hole for 23Springs and 2811 Maple. I can’t wait to see both rise at the same time. Also construction of Maple Terrace

Wow. Great pic. Pretty impressive hole in the ground.

Crane going up today on this one.

Virtual 360 view of the ground level and other spaces within the building.

Thought I’d share

Lovely building. Re: the setting; The suburban office park look seems to be taking over in central Dallas

That lawn facing Cedar Springs is just totally wasted space. Decent pedestrian traffic along Cedar Springs there, too.

I agree. What a great location for a nice hotel, but we get grass.

There’s 3 cranes in total for 23Springs and 2811 Maple. Only got 2 of the cranes. In one of the pictures you can kinda see Maple Terrace U/C. It’s gonna be a nice row of towers coming soon.

Update

It's berea couple months since we have seen an update. Is this above ground yet?

It's still quite a hole. Concrete pours and whatnot.
