I guess this information is available somewhere, but I was kind of hoping to be brought up to speed by knowledgeable SSP members.

Harwood International has actually provided information concerning their planned development known as "Harwood Forum" that the renderings represent.
The image I've posted below is of a large billboard that Harwood erected across from Cirque last summer that prominently announces "Harwood Forum" and that it is 3 million square feet of "build to suit residential, office, hotel, and retail".
And as we now know, Harwood Forum's location is literally across from Cirque and extends southward a block or two toward Woodall Rodgers Expressway.
At the time the billboard appeared in summer 2014 no one really understood what it meant. As Thymant mentioned a poster on Dallas Metropolis very recently found the Harwood Forum renderings online and published them on the Dallas Metropolis site.
Then two days ago Harwood International filed formal notice with the FAA of the height of the two large twin towers as being 1,080 feet which further validates the billboard's announcement of a year ago. FAA formal filing link is here:

The dots have now connected and it is an incredible development that is on the near horizon and is apparently very serious. The Harwood Forum development will forever change not only the Downtown Dallas skyline but the urban fabric of the city.
Couple that with the fact that at this very moment 14 towers are under construction in the Downtown Dallas core, 8 more towers have groundbreakings that are imminent and another 34 towers are planned (of which Harwood Forum is included in that count). I recently prepared a list of the 56 towers and if you're interested here is that link:

Absolutely stunning levels of development are occurring in Downtown Dallas and the central core. Dallas seems poised to literally soar.
