First post of thread updated with several new proposals and editing of existing projects.

Also:
- 1900 McKinney may reach up to 350' after height variance recommendation is approved so far. . .
- 2000 McKinney is still looking for up to 325' apparently, vice 240'.

^ Someone feel free to update/correct that last bit as necessary.

Condos up next for D.R. Horton?
Builder to venture into high-rise market with Uptown tower
12:00 AM CST on Thursday, November 10, 2005
By STEVE BROWN / The Dallas Morning News
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...2.8eaf6b2.html

D.R. Horton – the country's largest homebuilder – is plotting a move into the high-rise residential market.

The Fort Worth-based builder has teamed up with a Bedford developer who plans to construct an Uptown condo tower.

The project is still in the planning stages, but word about it is widespread among real estate brokers. D.R. Horton officials did not return phone calls or e-mails.

Planned for a block at McKinney Avenue and Akard Street, the 21-story project is one of two residential buildings proposed for the site by Centurion American Development Group.

Centurion is designing a building with about 150 units, which D.R. Horton would build out.

"We are just building the shell," said Centurion president Mehrdad Moayedi. Horton will then finish out the condominiums "a floor or two at a time," he said.

"It will be another 30 or 40 days before we have an announcement."

The building site also has room for a second, 10-story condominium plus a free-standing restaurant, Mr. Moayedi said.

Horton builds more than 50,000 homes a year in 23 states. Although most of the company's construction is traditional single-family homes, the builder is increasing its offerings in higher-density housing, including townhomes.

"We have talked to a few builders that have looked at this concept," said Ted Wilson, an industry analyst with Dallas' Residential Strategies Inc. "With the competition in this market, a lot of builders are venturing into new areas."

Mr. Wilson said a company such as Horton could be a formidable competitor in the high-rise condo market.

"You have a Wall Street company acting as a principal in this," he said. "You also have Horton's strength in marketing."

Few traditional builders have entered the booming high-rise residential market, but condominium sales are surpassing single-family home activity in select U.S. locations.

"It doesn't surprise me that the big builders are moving in that direction – especially in markets where condo product has proven to have a lot deeper demand than single-family," said long-time Dallas housing analyst Ron Witten.

"The big builders are eager to maximize their volumes."

Arts center groundbreaking draws crowd
02:19 PM CST on Thursday, November 10, 2005
By SCOTT CANTRELL / The Dallas Morning News
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont....48ea1197.html

There couldn’t have been an unemployed trumpeter — or an unspoken-for gold shovel — anywhere in Dallas on Thursday morning. They were all at the ceremonial groundbreaking for the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, which drew a crowd of about 1,000 to a big white tent next to the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.

Construction of the underground parking garage that will support the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House and the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre isn’t projected to begin until spring 2006. But in the meantime, several buildings will have to be cleared from the site, including the Dallas Theater Center’s Arts District Theater.

Joining the Meyerson, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center, the two additional buildings, a new Annette Strauss Artist Square and grand plaza will constitute “the largest and most complete cultural district of any city in the world,” said Howard Hallam, chair of the performing arts center board.

The opera house and sqare are being designed by Foster and Partners, the multi-purpose theater by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Completion is projected for 2009.

With a couple hundred donors and other movers and shakers lined up in front of tiers of wooden planters, it’s hard to imagine more dirt being turned at a groundbreaking. And Bill Lively, president and CEO of the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts Foundation, made a point that the dirt had come not just from the immediate site, but from all over the area. Indeed, on Wednesday mayors of several outlying cities delivered soil from their communities to Dallas City Hall, for use in the ceremony.

“We’re building something for all of Dallas,” Mr. Lively said, “not part of Dallas.”

The 10:30 a.m. ceremony was a veritable feast of fanfares, blasted out by two dozen trumpeters and an additional brass band. And after the dirt flew, and gold stars rained down from the tent’s ceiling, great bells in the newly completed tower of the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe rang out deep tones.

Actor Tommy Lee Jones, who attended St. Mark’s School here, was a star attraction. He spoke only briefly, tracing the performing arts back to caveman communications and paying special tribute to lead donors for the arts facilities: Margaret McDermott, Mr. and Mrs. Winspear and the Wyly family.

Mayor Laura Miller cited the $275 million Art District project along with the Trinity River redevelopment, Calatrava bridges and the nearby 7-Eleven headquarters building as evidence of a newly energized downtown. And she said the City Council is committed to put funding for an additional building, for smaller theater and chamber music performances, on the next city bond election.

The adjacent Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, which will soon break ground for its own new addition, was represented by its Concert Choir, directed by Gloria Stephens. But two sections from the Requiem of John Rutter — music praying for rest and perpetual light for the dead — were an odd choice for a celebratory occasion.

Memory refresher for a couple parts of this project:

Article excerpt from this link:
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...1.3439ca8.html

...Another luxury hotel and residential project is in the works for Dallas' booming Uptown neighborhood.

Crescent Real Estate Equities – which is building the $213 million Ritz-Carlton Dallas and the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton – is looking at another project across the street.

This high-rise at McKinney Avenue and Olive Street would be operated by Crescent's Canyon Ranch resort and living brand.

Look for Crescent also to push ahead with a second tower on its Ritz project, where demand for condos has far exceeded expectations...

Yep...in the 80's.

I imagine things will work out better this time though -- the scale of these projects is a lot smaller than that of those 80's ones.
