talltexan83 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The Hess Tower has a great space on the 1st floor that would be ideal for an all-day cafe......lots of patio space, set off the street, shade trees, etc.......I believe it is has been used exclusively for the building's office workers, but maybe something they would consider as more density comes to the area 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footprint on the building is tiny. In most cities, a park like DG would support 20-30 eateries within walking distance, assuming there's any tourism at all. When Block 100 gets developed, it goes from layup to slam dunk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're already well within that range (or above it, depending on how one defines walking distance).

Texasota Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 There's already almost that many just in the blocks immediately surrounding the park, even if you don't count the various Starbucks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2021 I might have ridden by a little earlier than @Nate99 based on the shadows. They were flying up a huge 30'-40' section of rebar to the top floor. 4 sections waiting to raise the crane to a whole new level. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thursday late morning I'm driving down 45 south and see some Liebher crane sections going north and I'm thinking were are those going? I had it in my mind to the TMC3, completely forgetting about this tower crane getting raised this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 When I got there they were about to add the 5th section and using the 6th for counterbalance. Asked a guy involved with the crew and he said will it add about 120' of height to the crane. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 ^^^ all in all, because of the height of the parking structure, this should be a really tall residential tower at 42 floors... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
