Hope they both come through and San Antonio gets a similar project as well as expanding the ones in DFW. We need to beautify Texas highways. That are the biggest continuous eyesore in Texas

The recent highway construction/rebuilding has some improved design elements that are far better looking than the old style bare concrete monstrosities.

Dallas is already laying the park blocks over I-35 E as I type.......The third one over I-30 south of Downtown will be the next one.

Klyde Warren Park is currently under construction due to complete this summer..... Adding some impressive features...Like the largest interactive fountain in the world.

The success of Klyde Warren Park, and its impact on adjacent areas of Downtown / Uptown, has been very influential around the nation and is a great credit to Dallas, especially its citizens who gave out of their own pockets to make it happen. I view it as influential as Discovery Green here in Houston (similarly funded heavily by philanthropy).

Goldman Sachs’ office tower near downtown Dallas will be the largest in a generation

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/...-a-generation/


Quote:
The Goldman Sachs office would cost more than $480 million, according to the filings with the city. That would make it the most costly real estate project in central Dallas in decades.

The planned development would be even more expensive than Uptown Dallas’ landmark Crescent complex, which cost around $400 million to build in the 1980s.

“This will be the largest office investment in the history of downtown or Uptown in terms of gross development costs.”

The two last true Dallas office skyscrapers were the 1.3 million square foot Chase Tower, which was completed in 1987, and the 1.4 million square foot Cityplace Tower, which opened in 1988. Each of those high-rises cost about $300 million in 1980s dollars.

The complex of towers would replace the North End Apartments, which were built in 1997. The new buildings would surround a 1.5-acre central park.

New York-based architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates is designing the mixed-use development, which is expected to start construction later this year.

It will be 80 stories but still shorter than BOA Tower...
I'm happy and disappointed at the same time...I will definitely get over it once I see it going up though.

Hey Dallaz, Do you know the name of the development at the end of the clip? Next to UNT-Dallas?
