Harwood's ultra-luxe skyscraper Bleu Ciel ready to rise into the sky Candace Carlisle March 30, 2016 Quote It's taken about 16 months for the Dallas-based development firm Harwood International to get ready to head sky high with its 33-story, ultra-luxury residential skyscraper, but that's just what the firm plans to do in the next week or so. Quote So far, Harwood has put seven homes under contract in the last seven days, Jessica Young, a spokeswoman for Harwood International, told the Dallas Business Journal. "Our housing team — Harwood Living — is ahead of the game," said Young, who said Bleu Ciel will have approximately 158 homes (depending on finish out) within the skyscraper. Quote The architect of the project is Jean-Michel Wilmotte of Wilmotte & Associes S.A. in Paris. Harwood International plans to start vertical construction on Thursday, April 7.

In a news release, Texas A&M said the university's students recently showed Cuban and HKS' director of sports and entertainment Bryan Trubey (former Texas A&M graduate) designs for a new mixed-use development meant to become a destination for Mavericks fans, players and team personnel, with amenities such as a team store, public cafe, museum, outdoor water feature and garden. "The building will also include office space and conference rooms for startup technology companies, further separating the building from typical NBA practice facilities," according to Texas A&M officials. Quote Real estate sources say the billionaire has begun looking at options near Victory Park and in Deep Ellum in hopes of landing a new state-of-the-art practice facility that has the capability to aid in player recruitment and generate more buzz from fans. "Overall, the sports industry is taking notice of what [Jerry] Jones has done, which is essentially building a secondary home to generate revenue and build fan support that will ultimately build the brand," said John Alper, vice president of strategic partnerships for Plano-based Chisum Sports & Hospitality, told the Dallas Business Journal.

Sic'EmBears Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Riverfront development site is on Mark Cuban’s radar for new Mavericks mixed-use project Steve Brown March 31, 2016 Design concepts for the 505 Riverfront property included mixed-use and high-rise buildings. (CBRE) One of the properties Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is eyeing as a potential location for his new team training center and headquarters complex just came on the market for sale. The vacant tract has more than 40 acres and is located northwest of downtown Dallas on the banks of the Trinity River at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. A partnership headed by Dallas businessman Dale Foster has owned the property on both sides of the bridge at 505 Riverfront Boulevard for almost four years. The investors have previously looked at mixed-use development options for the land. It’s zoned for high density development. “We are taking the property to market,” CBRE senior vice president David Glasscock said. “We have not been approached by the Mavericks organization or Mark Cuban, but the property is for sale and we are open to discussion.” Another potential Riverfront site for the new Mavericks facility is south of Interstate 30. Developer Matthews Southwest has 60 acres on Cadiz Street at Riverfront Boulevard. The large vacant tract is just south of the growing South Side district along Lamar Street. Cuban owns about 3.5 acres in the same area on Lamar. Full Article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) High-rise hotel on the way near Galleria in Dallas’ redeveloping Midtown district Steve Brown April 4, 2014 Quote A second major project is in the works in Dallas Midtown redevelopment district along LBJ Freeway. Developers are preparing plans for a new Marriott Hotel that would be built just east of the Dallas Galleria shopping mall. The planned high-rise hotel is on part of the former Showcase Chevrolet property at Noel Road and LBJ, according to filings with Dallas’ planning and zoning department. Quote Carrollton-based Atlantic Hotels Group and Civitas Capital want to build the 256-room hotel on 3.6 acres. Dallas-based architect 5G Studio Collaborative designed the project which includes a parking garage and large open courtyard. City planners have taken issue with pedestrian access and the parking requirements for the development. The proposed hotel tower is in an area surrounded by high-rise construction. The Midtown district stretching from the Galleria to Valley View Mall has been earmarked for billions of dollars in mixed-use redevelopment.

It could have been a more vertical design like Fort Worth's.

Already showing off its sleek vertical design and its only half way done. 25 stories will be a nice size for that spot. I wonder if we'll ever get a Skyhouse 3! haha.

So many renters not staying in one spot permanently. They need more public storage. There's actually another one going up up right here off Forest and LBJ.

Im flipping through channels this morning and came across one of those boring Dallas Commission Meetings at city hall. I was about to change the station when I noticed they were talking about Midtown/Galleria. Im still watching it now. The hotel is only FIVE stories. They are showing the renders on poster board. I don't know if they are even online yet. Scott Beck is there too. But from what I understand this project isn't officially part of his Midtown Project. Scott Beck was just there to support this Marriot project.( I could be wrong) But in his speech he kept hinting at 20-40 story towers they would be building in the future. This Marriot actually had to be LOWERED to 5 stories from 8 stories to fit some sort of stupid zoning law that dictates any building over 6 stories has to have the bottom 2 stories stick out 20 feet wider than the rest of the bldg. Zoning laws are so strange. They are still talking about open spaces and entrances and exits. Boring but interesting. The renders show a hotel much more wide than tall obviously. The colors appear to be white with black glass with a modern look. EDIT: The motion has been approved. So I guess that's good.
