I wonder if they're going to put parking underground? If so, that could be the reason it'll take so long to build
Kaizen plans to demolish an existing office building that sits on the site next summer, and deliver The Link in late 2021.

Would the El Fenix building not be protected? Isn't it really old?

LOL. Were you being sarcastic?

There are height limits throughout Uptown, so this is about what folks should expect in this part of town.

Here’s a pretty great drone video worth checking out. It really shows how much Dallas has grown...Cord1936 wrote:joshua.dodd wrote:We should start calling Uptown Texas' Manhattan
These images are now almost 2 years old but still reflect what you said ... the Manhattanization of Uptown and Victory Park.
The same views today would be even denser with the projects completed and/or now underway since these were taken.
No, we're not talking about wall-to-wall 70 story buildings here like in NYC ... but wall-to-wall towers nonetheless creating canyons throughout Uptown and Victory Park like Manhattan in NYC.Uptown District of Downtown Dallas, partial view, 06-19-17

Nice building, but "pushed the envelope"??
This is a real head-scratcher: "It will boast unobstructed, protected views overlooking the Dallas North Tollway to the north and downtown Dallas to the south."
I hope it happens, it's a great-looking building (wish it could go on one of our many remaining vacant sites rather than replacing existing buildings); but no one should be holding their breath. It looks like this developer has never developed a high-rise of any kind and has quite limited experience with office buildings.

Regarding that back side, I still think the lower squared-off portion facing Akard might be largely parking. Like say where the darker horizontal bands are.

For those who know though, I think the Klyde Warren extension and developments like the Christopher, Triton and Perot sites will further help to blur the lines between the areas.
