Wow...tough room. These are only rumors (at least for now). It could always go the other way.

Hypothetically speaking, if Dallas isn’t selected....we will be just fine. We’re not an economically depressed city. Either way, I have a fairly positive outlook on the future of Dallas.

There’s no official date that I know of. Only this quote from the article above is all that’s mentioned.

The retail center with seven restaurants and the Tom Thumb grocery store will start opening early next year.

I could be wrong...but it seems like the residential portion of the tower is only 36 floors, which equals a total 45 story building, when you add the 9 story garage.

It’s becoming more and more evident that Uptown is transitioning from a entertainment district, to an actual neighborhood. What do you think the future of Uptown will be?

From that view it almost looks like a triangular tower but it clearly isn't. It does. I think we can confirm that this will be a tower that chances depending on the angle...just like Fountian Place.

Is the parking garage included in the number of floors? Or does level one start at the first residential level (the 10th floor)?
