Nice, so if that gets out of the ground there will be two tall residential towers(the other being the other harwood project) going up within a few blocks of each other.

The commercial property firm is now working on plans for a 25-story, 268-unit apartment tower at Fairmount and Carlisle Street.
The ground floor of the proposed apartment tower would include a restaurant and space for rent for artists, crafters and other uses.
Needs it's own thread now (if there isn't one already), but, here's some related info:

It depends on the particular location of a plot of land and it's proximity to a flight path. Uptown, Downtown, Oak Lawn, etc. all have varying height allowances within their borders.
Developers at Alamo Manhattan are willing to demolish their own offices to make way for their next big project — a really, really high-rise Uptown apartment tower across the street from the Marriott Hotel they built earlier this year.
A rezoning request was recently approved to make way for Fairmount Tower, and architects with WDG Dallas are in full design mode on the site at Fairmount and Carlisle streets.
Alamo Manhattan president Matt Segrest said his team, which includes builder Andres Construction Services, plans to break ground early in the second quarter of 2023. The project will take about 27 months to complete.
There’s been a ton of neighborhood outreach. “We developed the Marriott across the street, which has been a huge hit for the neighborhood, particularly the pedestrian experience. We’re going to have a restaurant and retail component, and people are really excited about that. We like to think we are setting a standard for pedestrians, something people find attractive and want to replicate.”
The high-rise building is in City Council District 14, less than a block away from the Katy Trail, the city’s most active biking and pedestrian trail. More than 60 restaurants and bars and 5 million square feet of office space surround the site.
While building height has been a point of contention with developers building apartments in residential areas, the 320-foot Fairmount Tower hasn’t had any organized opposition.
“We’ve had pushback in previous rezonings,” he said. “But people aren’t as concerned with height in this area.”
Alamo Manhattan representatives worked with the city to determine a 9.4 Floor Area Ratio to build 319 units on 29 stories over a below-ground parking garage.
Skyrocketing construction costs affected Alamo Manhattan along with the rest of the industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, but lumber prices are beginning to stabilize, and experts say the housing market is predicted to stay strong through the end of the year, albeit with a nationwide housing shortage.
“The huge challenge in the industry is material cost increases,” Segrest said. “We’re having to pull every lever to build cost-effectively. It’s a really challenging environment.”
In addition to building Fairmount Tower, the team at Alamo Manhattan will have to find a new place to work. The company was founded in 2010 and has been at its Fairmount Street location for about six years.
Nice that it has a radio city art deco look to it. I will be curious if the finish of the exterior will read as high quality. The renderings always make it hard to tell without reading the construction material notes, and I didn't read them detailed like in the Oak Lawn Committees' agenda notes.

So between this one, the Springs tower and the tower directly behind Springs we will have three 30ish floor towers going up at the same time? Is that correct?
Maple Terrace residential tower is very much under construction already. It however isn't 30ish. But, still a lot of stuff going on in that Maple Ave. corridor nonetheless. (And, within vicinity, more that could be going on if proposals become reality.)

No, it's the Alamo Manhattan office building and the very small office building next door to it. The parking garage belongs to the office building at Fairmount and Cedar Springs.

Developers are hoping for a fall groundbreaking for Uptown Dallas’ next residential tower project.
Alamo Manhattan Corp is planning its Fairmount Tower at Wolf and Fairmount streets near Turtle Creek. The $130 million, 31-story apartment high-rise would open in late 2025, according to planning documents filed with the state.
At one point I thought it was to be 26 or 27 floors. Now they are saying 31. That’s good news. Developers are going to have to start building taller to make the numbers work.
The old building next to the Alamo Manhattan offices is being torn down now. I assume this will be part of the project site. If/when the AM offices are demoed, then we should see this tower go up.
