    Is the identify of this man still unknown?

    Off topic, Ebola has just arrived in America, in Dallas of all places. Don't you just love it!? My advice is stay away from Dallas, and if you go, don't come back! On topic, I very much dislike this bridge. It's too much for a river that is so small. At least this one is pretty distant from downtown Dallas though. I think I saw a conceptual drawing where a similar bridge was spanning Buffalo Bayou near downtown, what a terrible idea. It's a bayou, no need for over-the-top stuff.

    The development map shown is an old one; it has not been updated.

    A SkyHouse with a SkyGarden, I like it!

    I'm starting to think that BizJournals calling the residential Hines tower at Market Square "One Market Square" was also a mistake.

    Call it Two Market Square

    The original plan was to have it be a 50-floor tower. I'm hoping they go back up to 50 but with so little time before 4Q 2014, I am only skeptical about that part, not about whether it is built or not. Also, it will go back up to 925,000 sq. ft. and 37 office floors (go up 13 for parking). I think developers need to build as much Class-AA space as they can in downtown, that's what tenants want, so let's give it to them!

    I think it's a great idea.

    I want this built. Let's blow up the Houston Club already!

    Those big utility boxes in the median on Main, I wonder if they will be removed or hidden later on. The building will be facing these when it's finished.

    I love the suggested "power lines underground" requirement the most.

    The lot behind One Shell Plaza is ideal for a huge parking garage, in my opinion. The lots along Main in southern downtown are prime spots for a supertall but those are being taken over by residential projects; few are left or perhaps none are for all we know.

    What building in uptown Dallas are you referring to?
  14. democide
    Construction begins 4Q 2014, so October 1st I assume. At least it better be.
  15. democide
    Not excited about getting another one. Anyways, start date is around 4Q 2014.

    Right on target, perfect!

    The implosion date is set for next month.

    Looks good, I wish you made it into a supertall as well

    I'm pretty sure this new design was made by accident, when placing the tower in the photo. There is no new design.

    Beautiful work, thank you for your effort!

    Thank you for the list, perhaps he did exaggerate some. These are all prime office sites. The key blocks that I hope can get developed to include tunnel/skywalk access are Block 251 (Lamar, Dallas, LaBranch, Austin), and the blocks surrounding 800 Bell. Sure would help to spread it on the South/East side of downtown, and will as you said open up more empty lots, making them desirable for developers to build on.

    Every cent (of the borrowed dough) is being spent on the tower, I love it!
  23. democide
    I say blow it up.

    The first time I read it, I thought it meant that there is only 3 class-A buildings with a large amount of leasing space available for a relocation of a major company. I mean the really good office space is pretty much gone or very little of it is left. But reading it again, perhaps it's true that there is "about 3 good office sites" remaining for development. I mean, the tunnel/skywalk expansion is just about done on the north side of downtown. On the south side, you have 800 Bell (which after the renovation will have tunnel access) and the vacant lots around it can be developed to connect to the tunnel system. You have the empty block near 4 Houston Center also. All the other vacant lots do not have easy/close access to the tunnel/skywalk system. Who wants to develop those for office space? By the way, will the new Chevron tower have tunnel access? Also, I found it interesting that Allen Center (I assume it means Allen Center One, Two, and Three combined) is 95% occupied overall with only one full floor available. Anyways, someone should pass all this info to Stream Realty and tell them that CBD lacks top notch class-A space and they need to raise the floor count on One Market Square to 50 floors again!

    Yes, this area needs to diversity itself. Anyways, a prime location with tunnel access, it was going to be developed sooner rather than later.
