And just like what happened when someone stumbled upon Harwood's renderings and potential plans, the 2000 Ross Avenue renderings are gone from the respective website they were found from. Clearly they weren't meant to be found and released, but welcome to the excellent age of "good digging" gets results.

Lakeside Tower in Grapevine may be ready to break ground after the calendar year turns over and could be the city's first high-rise and be built on Lake Grapevine.

I hope they plan well enough because this is the lake that also rose 25ft this past May with all the significant rainfall.

Technically, isn't this tower in Flower Mound? It's also a few blocks from where the highest water was, so I think it'll be okay. No matter what, I'm stoked that they're building something more dense in this area. It seems like a lot of towns and cities throughout DFW are beginning to build up rather than out. Hopefully it takes off.

Children's Health has begun construction on a new four-story, 185,000-square-foot building bringing a new institute to the health care system's Plano campus, which will include four operating rooms, an imaging center and other specialty spaces.

The institute — Children's Health Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine — at 7601 Preston Road in Plano will also feature indoor and outdoor athletic facilities with a half-size football field and running track. This will be the only pediatric-focused orthopedic institute of its kind in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The facility — which is being developed under direction of renowned surgeon James R. Andrews — will be able to help treat meniscal tears, fracture repair, as well as congenital and hereditary orthopedic disorders, such as spinal deformities or clubfoot.

As part of the upgrades, the 392,473-square-foot office and retail complex at 3102 Oak Lawn Ave. in Dallas will get a new exterior — which includes taking down the big green railing of a triangle and clock tower — and a new front door.

Cook also plans to completely redesign the lobby with an LED wall and an adjacent courtyard with lush artificial turf. The redo will also include a new rooftop deck catering to office tenants of The Centrum. Plans for the deck include 10,000 square feet of amenity space including a tenant lounge, conference center and artificial turf to bring green into the property.

The office space will have USB ports constructed into the walls of the building and some offices will have a limited number of private rooftop terraces to lease to office tenants.

The Perot family has acquired the last large vacant tract on Turtle Creek at Cedar Springs Road & Turtle Creek Boulevard and is currently zoned for up to 20 floors of office space.

This would be a perfect location for a residential building instead of office, but the family has no immediate plans for the site as it's currently used as parking for The Renaissance on Turtle Creek since their partial garage collapse late last month.

Dallas is still growing strongly and with that is coming a premium for land in the urban core, particularly Uptown, Downtown, & Victory Park areas where the only option to reap a good profit for the investment is high-rise. However, now that demand is creeping up the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) to Plano's Legacy West and Frisco's "$5 Billion Mile." Currently nearly two dozen projects are either underway or approved and awaiting groundbreaking.

Canadian developer Great Gulf Homes’ planned Turtle Creek apartment tower isn’t trying to compete with other new rental projects in central Dallas.

With only 50 units, the 13-story building at Fairmount Street and Turtle Creek Boulevard is chasing a small niche of North Texas luxury housing market.

Great Gulf’s Oak Lawn tower is one of more than two dozen high-rise residential buildings already under construction or planned to start in the Dallas area.

“We are adding 30 or 35 high-rise towers in the Dallas urban core,” said Greg Willett, vice president of apartment analyst MPF Research. “We’ve never seen as much construction as this.

This immediately made me think of a building in Irving off of highway 183, right across the way from the Embassy Suites near the airport.

Here it is. Am I the only one?

Almost 20 years after buying the land, Dallas Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones has quietly started construction on his $1 billion Gates of Prosper development.

Construction crews are busy at the northeast corner of Preston Road and State Highway 380 in the town of Prosper.

The plan to remove, redo and replant the iconic rusted wall serving as downtown Dallas’ ‘Portal’
Robert Wilonsky
November 9, 2015

According to a briefing given to the Dallas City Council’s Quality of Life Committee Monday morning, the 34-year-old Portal — as well as the statute of John Carpenter — will be removed before the design development phase begins in January. The wall and the statue will be stored in a Park and Recreation Department facility, then added back whenever the park reopens as the eight-acre spread long imagined in the Downtown Park Master Plan.

Irwin’s sculpture was “terrific at the time, but given the way pedestrian traffic flow — or, rather doesn’t — it’s become something of a problem,” Kingston said Monday morning. “And we’re lucky he’s agreed to rework the thing.” After all, he noted, when the Carpenter family hired Irwin decades ago he was famous. But now, said Kingston, “he’s a living legend.”

Trump’s Dallas tower would have been a standout on the skyline

November 20, 2015

Back before the Great Recession let the air out of Big D’s real estate market, The Donald was scouting the downtown market for a skyscraper site.

It was 2006 and the economic downturn that chased away buyers of high-end condos hadn’t yet hit.

Dallas’ GDA Architects worked with the developers of Victory Park and Trump’s real estate company to design a dramatic condo high-rise to lure buyers.

“It was 51 stories of super high-end condos,” said architect Charles Gromatzky. “It was a gorgeous building – it should have been built.”

Gromatzky said the Trump Tower was to have 270 condos and a high-end restaurant on the lower floors.

Thank goodness because that whole piece of DTD is complete and utter cluster**k, to put it lightly. It makes no sense right there and while it says Pearl "Expressway," it'd be anything but that because of the DART lines nearby calm traffic naturally.
