Sic'EmBears Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 UT Southwestern planning a $480 million expansion of Clements Hospital Callisonrtkl Project Location UT Southwestern is planning a $480 million expansion that will add 292 patient beds and 19 operating rooms to its flagship William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital by 2020. The expansion is driven by “a greater-than-expected need” for specialty care, in areas such as neurology and cancer, hospital officials said Wednesday. The goal is to consolidate resources, boost efficiency and enhance the quality of care provided to patients, said Dr. Daniel Podolsky, president of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Clements Hospital will remain open as UT Southwestern builds a third tower on the north end of the current facility. That center has become “a top priority,” with significant investments in basic research into brain injury and disease, and research to generate new approaches and treatments, he said. A “significant part” of the third tower will focus on services for patients suffering from brain-related illnesses, and will staff neurologists, psychiatrists and other related clinicians. Funding for the new tower will come from bond sales previously approved by the UT System Board of Regents and supplemented with philanthropic support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasnoDTX Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I've been seeing this make the rounds. 1121ft (if it happened) would be tallest outside NYC and CHI not counting the spire on Philly's newest. I like the glass design on one of those smaller towers. Can't wait to see who Amazon picks. Edited October 20, 2017 by JasnoDTX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 1,121' (which is a rather arbitrary number) Amazon's HQ would sit in-between Chicago's John Hancock and NYC's Three WTC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Old warehouse will become new venue for West Dallas Project Location Oaxaca Interests said it plans to redevelop an old warehouse on Fort Worth Avenue into a dining and retail venue. The developer said the old warehouse will be repurposed as a "pet-friendly, indoor-outdoor destination." The real estate firm hopes to rent the 10,000-square-foot building to two to five tenants. "The flexibility of the space, as well as its indoor and outdoor components, is perfectly suited for a food hall, beer garden and several smaller retailers and food artisans," Jackson said. Architects Lake Flato and Hocker Design Group - which did Sylvan|30 are doing the project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Eagle Ford School to be renovated for offices Project Location The 1923 West Dallas school, famous as the elementary school where outlaw Bonnie Parker attended, could be coming into a new era. The city initiated efforts last year to make the Eagle Ford School a Dallas historic landmark because of its significance as a last remnant of Cement City and the Eagle Ford community. That move prevented the building, which was on the market, from being torn down for about three years while its case is under review. Moser has plans to restore the building’s facades, expose bricked-in windows, replace windows and doors and add a paved parking lot. The interior will be renovated as an office space. “We will bring this building back to a good condition for another hundred years,” Moser told the Dallas Landmark Commission this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Rosewood Property brings in venture partner for 2.5M-square-foot corporate magnet in Plano Project Location Rosewood Property and Patrinely Group unveiled plans Tuesday outlining a 12-story, 343,800-square-foot office tower, called One Heritage Creekside, within Heritage Creekside's new 72-acre mixed-use campus along the President George Bush Turnpike on the west side of Interstate 75. In all, the mixed-use campus — which is aimed at luring a major corporate tenant — will total more than 2.5 million square feet of Class A office space, retail, luxury urban apartments, hotels and single-family homes. One Heritage Creekside, which could deliver as early as the fourth quarter of 2019, will be the first of four office buildings in a quad, with an additional fifth tower for a large company's operations, such as Amazon's proposed HQ2. Even though the office tower could deliver as early as the fourth quarter of 2019, a spokeswoman for the development group said they require a tenant commitment before beginning construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 2323 Cedar Springs Rd Project Location The client is looking for a signature building in the heart of the most important subdistrict in Dallas. Anchored by two restaurants, the proposed 600,000 square foot, 27-story building intends to dampen the “architectural noise” that is surrounding the site with many different architectural styles, and rise as an elegantly constrained object. While striving to satisfy the client’s desire to design the building such that the top would make an architectural statement recognizable on the Dallas skyline, project goals include maximizing view corridors from the site, assist in unifying/extending the pedestrian experience in the neighborhood, establish a park space that serves the buildings and neighborhood alike, and seek to create a “legacy” building for Granite Properties. Building form and skin manipulate light; undulating vertically to provide varying floor plates, curtain wall planes extend above the roof to provide wind protection for a common amenity space. With an emphasis on building height and slenderness, the building dissolves at key locations to offer a sense of lightness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Knox Street's familiar Weir's Furniture block is getting a high-rise makeover Project Location The owners of Weir's Furniture and Atlanta-based developer Geyer Morris Co. plan to build a high-rise retail and office development on the site of the almost 70-year-old store. For several months, the Weir family and the developers have worked to design the project, which preserves the Highland Park Soda Fountain building — more than a century old — on the corner of Knox and Travis streets. "We are focused on saving that soda fountain building — that's been an original desire of ours," said Geyer Morris' Justin Schoellkopf. "We've let this dictate the design of the rest of the project." The lower floors would have retail and office and step back from the street to a 12-story office high-rise. Weir's Furniture would relocate to a two-story space on the Travis Street side of the new building. Parking for the 50,000 square feet of retail space and offices in the tower would be in a six-level underground garage. "It's expensive, but we wanted to do it," Schoellkopf said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasnoDTX Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 If they can I think they should increase the height. 562 is cool but 620 to 700 would be better assuming it's supposed to be shorter than 720. It should be in the same air lane as 720 FP so it could be okay with FAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 A Texas City’s Named One of the Most High-Tech Cities in the World, But it’s Not the City You Think If Dallasites didn’t have enough reasons to boast about their city, Business Insider just gave them another huge bragging right. The prominent business site ranks Dallas-Fort Worth as one of the most high-tech cities in the world – and it’s the only Texas spot to make the cut. Take that, Austin! Business Insider consulted with research firm 2thinknow to determine the 85 most technologically advanced cities in the world. Dallas-Fort Worth came in at number 11, beating out Beijing, Washington, D.C., and Tokyo among others. You can thank the explosive tech scene for pushing North Texas into the future. The metroplex’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has experienced serious growth in the last year, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. Dallas is still behind a few other American cities in tech, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and San Francisco (which topped the list). However, it wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas continued to climb the rankings in coming years. Yes, Dallas is the city of tomorrow – and it’s already leading the pack in the Lone Star State. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Downtown Dallas finally scores the grocery store it has long craved Project Location - Trammell Crow Center Project Location - Mercantile Place Downtown Dallas finally nets the grocery store it has long craved, and it's a humdinger: Austin-based Royal Blue Grocery will open not one but two stores, both inside the Central Business District. For downtown dwellers, that means a short jaunt to get house-made quinoa oatmeal topped with Texas pecans, dried cranberries, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It means sandwiches, soups, salads, and produce. It means toilet paper in a pinch. It also means coffee by acclaimed Stumptown Coffee from Portland, Oregon. The two stores will be located at the Mercantile Place building at 1704 Main St., and at the Trammell Crow Center at 2001 Ross Ave., which is currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar makeover. The chain hopes to do for downtown Dallas what it has done for downtown Austin: add density, vitality, street amenities, and convenience for workers and residents downtown. In a release, Royal Blue Grocery proprietor Zac Porter says they're excited about Trammell Crow Center, which he calls "an iconic building undergoing a beautiful remodel." "Our patio overlooking the DMA is going to be really special," he says. "As we expand into downtown Dallas, we think this location will be great for the building and our Ross Avenue, Arts District, and Klyde Warren Park neighbors."
