The Omni will actually be the city's second tallest, besting D. R. Horton Tower but falling just under Burnett Plaza.
A new parking garage with ground-floor retail and an ungarage-like facade is going up next to the Omni.
The Cassidy is a planned new condo building with ground floor retail space for Sundance Square. It will be 22 stories and go on the southeast corner of 3rd & Throckmorton on a quarter-block site currently used for parking. It will share the block with the Sanger Lofts (the old Sanger and Fakes Buildings) and the small retail buildings on the block. It has been designed by David M. Schwarz (of Bass Hall, Carnegie, Sundance & Palace Theaters, and many other projects). There is no set timetable for construction, but it is definitely planned. It will be another product of Sundance Square, and hence of the Bass family. Technically, as I understand it, initial construction for the building is already complete - when the Sanger Building was turned into lofts and the Sundance West apartment building (also by Schwarz) was built, a two-story underground parking garage was built that stretched under 3rd Street between Sundance West and Sanger. That garage already has the foundation for the Cassidy as part of its structure underground.
The Carnegie has topped out and initial facade work is underway. This building is also a David M. Schwarz design.
Wagner Oil is building the Caceria Building, a new 7-story office building with ground-floor retail on the northwest corner of 5th & Commerce across from the Bass Performance Hall and the redeveloped Embassy Suites Hotel. It has topped out and significant facade work is complete. Wagner also owns 500 Commerce next door on the same block and is remodeling that building's ground floor to add more retail space. The building is designed by Gideon Toal.
A new four-story office building, Cantey Hangar Plaza, is being constructed at 7th & Burnett between 500 West 7th and Burnett Plaza. The building has topped out and facade work is underway. The building is also a Gideon Toal design.
Trinity Terrace City Tower is a retirement apartment tower alongside Trinity Terrace's original '70s-vintage apartment tower on downtown's Upper West Side. The building has topped out and facade work is underway.
Klabzuba Oil is building a new four-story headquarters office building on downtown's Upper West Side at 100 Lexington. The building is a design of Cunningham Architects.
The parking lot on the block with the First Christian Church in downtown (between the Fort Worth Club and The Tower) has been sold to a developer planning an office tower on the site. Timetable unknown.
Lancaster Avenue in downtown has been narrowed back to four lanes with wide sidewalks following the removal of the I-30 Overhead. The other four lanes of the old widened Lancaster have been removed and the surplus land is being sold off to developers wishing to build urban infill along Lancaster.
The historic Texas & Pacific Warehouse on Lancaster is planned to be converted to 300+ loft apartments with ground-level retail, with work beginning this year. This would complete the redevelopment of the old T&P Complex, with the historic passenger terminal having already been redeveloped into very successful loft condos.
