The 10 tallest skyscrapers in Texas under construction are in Houston and Austin. Dallas has one. I dunno. I don't control the money. All I know is that there's a crap load of short towers going up.. If I controlled the money I would have taken the money for 5 of those shorties and built something big. There are still proposals though. One may surprise us someday. Even without a skyscraper the uptown skyline IS changing and that's exciting. The core is starting to take a Boston or Seattle type look to it and I like it.

texan41 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 What happened to Dallas? Everything is being built in Plano. The 10 tallest skyscrapers in Texas under construction are in Houston and Austin. Dallas has one.The Dallas core is doing better than ever though. I think Houstonians need to stop thinking that taller always means better. Uptown Dallas is slowly creeping far far north and the development is spilling over into east and west Dallas. I'm young but in my short life time I noticed how Dallas is so different than what it was when I was growing up in east Dallas. There used to be shootouts and bums all over old east Dallas but now you have developments attracting the similar type of people that uptown does. And they usually don't make it into these forums so it's been a quiet transformation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Chase & Co.'s new regional hub could pencil out to more than $200 million of real and business personal property.The 800,000 square feet of office space is expected to be spread out throughout a number of buildings. In an early rendering of the campus, J.P. Morgan Chase appears to have four mid-rise office buildings (attached).Construction on the campus is slated to begin this year. The first J.P. Morgan Chase employees could move into the new campus starting in the second half of 2017. Full Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Dallasite Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The JP Morgan development in Downtown Dallas across from the Trammel Crow Center is a totally different project than the JP Morgan Chase campus going in Plano : http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/blog/morning_call/2015/08/jp-morgans-mixed-use-development-adjacent-to.html The Downtown Dallas JPMorgan development announcement contained so many apartments, condos, and parking that when initially announced it was speculated at the time the tower could reach 40 or more stories tall. The 40-60 story estimate was made by me based on the information available at the time of the announcement which includes more than 350 apartments, a 227 room hotel, more than 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and more than 2,000 parking spaces. If all of that were included in one building it would easily be more than 50 stories tall. Since the initial project announcement on 08-12-15, more details for the development along with renderings were released on 10-28-15. The Downtown Dallas JPMorgan development will be twin 26 story towers instead of one very tall tower: http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2015/10/first-look-at-new-downtown-dallas-tower-project.html/ The Downtown Dallas JPMorgan development is a totally different project than the Plano campus development. The first portions in the Downtown Dallas development are scheduled to open the second half of 2017. I updated my list of new towers in Downtown Dallas to reflect the twin 26 story towers: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showpost.php?p=7143152&postcount=42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Dallasite Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well that's not a total disappointment then.. Though all the planned skyscrapers are dwindling away into high rises.. :/Still very confusing. No idea why that project is referred to as "JP Morgan Chase" when their offices are being built in Plano.. There was no dwindling of the Downtown Dallas Chase project. The 40-60 story placeholder was an estimate by me based on the very substantial number of apartments, hotel rooms, retail space, and parking that makes up the project. The initial project announcement was in August 2015 with released renderings in October 2015 where the actual construction plan for twin towers was announced. My early guess based on the substantial scale and scope with the August announcement, if contained in one tower, was just that. Concerning why Chase is building two very substantial projects simultaneously in Downtown Dallas and its suburb of Plano is because Chase has around 12,000 employees in Dallas and its immediate suburbs. 6,000 of those, primarily from offices scattered in various suburban locations, are planned to be relocated to the new one million square foot Chase campus to be built in Plano. The Chase project for Downtown Dallas is not an office project but instead mixed use with hotel, apartments, retail, restaurant, and parking. Chase will continue to occupy its space in the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Downtown Dallas and The Crescent. Chase's Downtown Dallas presence is not a part of the Plano move or will only be negligibly affected. A quote from Chase: "Chase officials say its several hundred workers in the downtown Chase Tower won’t be significantly impacted by the office moves to Plano from several suburban locations." Hope that helps clear up any confusion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
