The Business Times has a few more details on the project, its history and the timeline of the various proposals that have been pursued on this plot.
A few tidbits:
Quote:
The 350 Bush project, entitled in 2001, went through a series of owners and roadblocks, but Dallas-based Lincoln Property and partner, Gemdale Corp., plan to begin building during the third quarter of this year.
….
Still, plans lived on and early this year, the city approved a change to the design to move the elevators to the side of the building instead of in the middle of the floors in 350 Bush. That creates a more open floor plan that technology tenants favor, Heller said.
Next, Lincoln Property brought in Gemdale, a publicly-traded, Chinese real estate development and investment firm. This will be company’s first U.S. investment.
….
The floor plates in 350 Bush will range from 17,000 to 20,000 square feet. Building amenities include features tenants want such as bicycle parking, showers, a rooftop terrace, open layouts, and proximity to public transportation.

So this project will get started this Summer. I wasn't expecting that. But it's entitled, final design approved and construction financed. Speaking of the design change, from the renders it appears the elevator shaft will be on the side facing the Russ Building. Thus, it should be largely hidden, except to Russ tenants. Still, I hope they at least try to pretty it up.
