Isn't that sort of what's happening? I don't know what the PD looks like but everything being built seem to fit that category or close to it.

That's kind of a fun video, had to scan through it quick but didn't see any sign of a second crane yet.

I'm not sure I understand why the developer would not want to maximize the potential of a property like this rather than just settle for a basic strip model design.

They really have blended together in a big way, KWP has certainly helped fuel that change.

I know this isn't a convention center hotel but I thought they did have some conference room space to accommodate smaller groups.

I like hotels like this, not a huge 1,000 room behemoth and located in a cool area of town. This one will do well, perfect size for the area.

From that view it almost looks like a triangular tower but it clearly isn't.

This will be a fairly thin tower, I wonder how it will look from various angles being that it is not an exact duplicate. Time will tell, promises to be a looker.

Whats the next layer on that cap?

Looking good

They are setting 10 now so let's see what they do. Hopefully they will keep going up.

Still no sign of the lace like exterior. Wonder when that will start going up?

Its solid and is reflective when you see it up close. I believe it is glass.

Looks like the brackets for the glass are being placed on the garage. Looks like the plan all along was to set the glass on the garage when the tower went up.

The county thinks it needs around $13 billion (yes, a B) for transportation work in the next 3 to 4 decades. The upcoming bond election, if passed, would only cover $750 million of that. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/collin-county/2018/09/13/transportation-bonds-small-bite-collin-countys-13-billi...

Redbird really will be done before this. Amazing

The head of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has put $2 billion towards a new fund called the Bezos Day One Fund. It will have 2 objectives: 1, for preschools in low-income areas; the other, to aid homeless families. Maybe it will take something like this to begin to make real change in the homeless situation h...

I can't remember the last time I have been in NorthPark, it's probably been a year by now but I never go and the move to make the mall so upscale doesn't make it more appealing. Sign of the times, personal preference or whatever you want to call it I prefer an outdoor street scene these days.

When nobody lived downtown nobody probably cared how bright anything was since you could go bowling on almost any street after 5:00.

Looks like 13 or is it really 14 since nobody likes 13 even tho 14 is still the 13th floor. Crazy Is the parking garage included in the number of floors? Or does level one start at the first residential level (the 10th floor)? I would say yes but I don't recall seeing the schematic anywhere so I ca...

how many cars will that garage be able to accommodate? I can imagine the traffic congestion all these cars will bring will turn Olive and Ross into an absolute nightmare. The cladding looks really nice up close. Yeah I would guess the same, although I would also guess most of the garage will be emp...

New downtown Dallas tower lands another law firm tenant

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... irm-tenant

They are just starting to raise the 10th floor. This garage is an absolute monster.

I walked in the area today and saw obvious activity going on. Cherry picker or something had somebody doing something. Or maybe it was a small crane, not sure now.

Amazon has joined the DC Chamber of Commerce......just announce it already. This is so dumb.

What is that?

I think it looks fine, much better than the render plus it brings activity into that part of downtown which is still a net positive.

I was going to say that but held back...lol

That looks nice, and close enough to try out for lunch.

Just announce it and end this mess.

Thanks! I actually had not realize these were two separate developments (clearly I wasn't following either development that closely). Same here, was surprised to see the new Crow project pop up. So we will have a textbook example of good and bad projects sitting right next to each other. I can see ...

Fort Worth eye products firm Alcon shifting headquarters to Switzerland

The taller development is on the corner of Haskell and 75, the Crow development is next to it on the north side along 75. So yes you have that right. I think they would look odd next to each other.

No HQ2 news is planned, but Jeff Bezos and Amazon's board are heading to Washington D.C.

That exterior has a nice look

I'm sure they will do fine, but I am also sure this will not go over well with the neighborhood association that fought so vigorously against the last version.

Not really a fan yet but the neighborhood seems sold on the project. A CVS pharmacy would be a plus for this neighborhood. It's a massive tourist trap eye-sore, and a redundant one at that. If there is a HSR station coming to this area, this land could be much better utilized. Yes, it will be so ap...

The lobby remake is taking a long time but the work on the front face of the lobby is starting to take shape, if it looks like the back it will be a clear sheet of glass. The back side seems finished but the interior work has a long way to go since all of the old 80's marble is still in place.

I'm surprised Arlington hasn't proposed a giant ferris wheel, seems right up their Alley.
