It was originally reported to have a 16 story office building on top of the 9 story parking garage, but I've recently heard it's a 14 story office building on top of the parking garage. I wonder why the building is now smaller.

Uptown Dallas imports Italian from big-shot restaurateur


(DPR Construction)

Uptown Dallas will get its Italian fix in a big way with the opening of a branch of North Italia, the modern Italian concept from Fox Restaurants Concepts, opening at the Union Dallas in 2018.

North Italia is the modern, full-service pizza and pasta Italian concept from restaurant mad genius Sam Fox. The 5,500-square-foot restaurant will be located on the ground level and open onto Field Street, with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the central plaza of the office, residential, and retail project in the Uptown area of Dallas.

Known for from-scratch daily pastas and pizzas, the restaurant will bring a fresh and moderately priced dining option to the area. It will join another Sam Fox restaurant at this location, The Henry.

"After the success we've seen with North in Austin, we've been eager to bring this restaurant to Dallas," says founder Sam Fox.

The menu at North Italia will be the same mix of pizzas, chicken, seafood, and steak options offered in their other nine locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. Short ribs, New York strip, Atlantic salmon and diver scallops will be on the menu, along with home-made strozzapreti with Bloomsdale spinach, Bolognese tagliatelle, and several pizza options, all accompanied by an extensive wine list and desserts such as salted caramel budino and olive oil cake.

The Union’s 21,000-square-foot green space and events plaza will enhance North Italia’s exceptional culinary experience. The central plaza will be designed by top Texas landscape designer James Burnett, and will be surrounded by water features, seating areas, trees, and a performance area so that diners may extend their experience before or after their meal with a stroll through the green space or simply sit and enjoy the ambience of the park-like setting.

Project Location

Via DBJ:

Construction crews will soon quadruple on the site of The Union Dallas development as workers begin the vertical phase after completing the concrete foundation on the mixed-use development near Uptown and downtown Dallas.

The number of workers will increase from 50 to 200 before the end of December.

This will fill in a nice gap. The 20 & 16 floors is a little misleading because that will sit atop a 9 story parking structure.

Downtown law firm Akin Gump headed to new Uptown tower

Legacy legal firm Akin Gump has rented almost three floors of office space in the new Union Dallas mixed-use project under construction at Field Street and Cedar Springs road just north of downtown.
Akin Gump will move from downtown's 1700 Pacific tower to more than 68,000 square feet in the $200 million Union Dallas project's 20-story office tower.

With the latest lease the high-rise is 60 percent rented to major tenants including law firm Vinson & Elkins and accounting firm Weaver.

Isn't this project 20 floors and 16 floors on top of 9 floors of parking, so it's technically 29 and 25?
