15 years is too long haha.:lol: Hopefully less than 5. They need to be creative on how to get it done. Its gonna have to be mixed use with residential like LA's Wilshire Grand.

It's not a popular opinion among Dallasites and Houstonians but I view the world as "Houston AND Dallas" rather than "Houston vs. Dallas". 

 

DAL, SEA, and MIA are 3 cities that need to get a supertall at some point. All 3 have current proposals for supertalls. 

 

Obviously i I feel demand should dictate when they get one but all 3 cities ARE deserving of a supertall.

Perot’s high-rise project will be the first office tower along Dallas’ Turtle Creek since the 1980s

Ross Perot Jr.’s Hillwood Urban real estate firm is looking for tenants for a high-rise office to be built on the last vacant site along Dallas’ posh Turtle Creek corridor.

Quote

Hillwood hired award-winning architect Pickard Chilton of New Haven, Conn., to design the high-rise project at 3001 Turtle Creek Blvd.

Quote

Plans for the 350,000-square-foot building include a landscaped park area facing the boulevard and a restaurant with outdoor dining.

Quote

 

“We are doing work across the country, but this Turtle Creek property in Dallas is probably one of the richest urban sites I’ve ever been able to work on,” said founding partner Jon Pickard. “The building will rise up the hill, and you will look over Turtle Creek and have vistas of downtown Dallas.”

 

The glass, metal and concrete building will be constructed in two wings, with one section overhanging the outdoor dining area.

 

“Instead of building one big monolithic block, we wanted something more dynamic, and we wanted to maximize the view,” Pickard said. “There is going to be an amazing restaurant with a terrace.

 

“We’ve created a spectacular park with the building set way back,” he said. “It’s going to be an experience you don’t typically get in an urban context.”

Pickard Chilton is working with Klyde Warren Park landscape designer James Burnett on the park and garden areas of the Turtle Creek project.

 

“We preserved the natural topography and preserved the trees,” Pickard said.

“They could have built a bigger building, but they want to make sure it contributes to the character of Dallas,” Pickard said.

Canadian-based C.A.T. Global Inc. has decided to open up a high-tech Dallas office in the city's West End in hopes of drawing young professionals with logistics and software support to its latest U.S. office.

 

This is the third U.S. office for the company, which also has offices in Memphis, Tennessee and Columbus, Ohio.

 

"Dallas was a strategic market for us as we improve our presence in the U.S. business," Jayson Martineau, a vice president and general manager for C.A.T. Global in Toronto, told the Dallas Business Journal in an exclusive interview.

 

"This office will house our technical portion and will create software to optimize our customer's supply chain and increase the efficiency of our trucks," Martineau told me.

"We operate very similar to a tech company and we want to attract Millennials looking for a balance between work and life," he added.

 

The company has leased 2,500 square feet of space within the building. Bob Ingram of Dallas-based Mohr Partners represented C.A.T. Global in its real estate search.

 

Quote

At the time of the deal, the building was more than 90 percent leased.

With so many companies trying to attract Millienials....isn't that age discrimination?

Im 3 years removed from being a millienial and the thought of being passed up for a position ,even if I have more experience, for some Vine,snapchat,instacrap obsessed youngster (no offense to you all)just doesnt seem right at all.

 

It isnt. And keep in mind millienials: The same will happen to you.

KDC's CEO, Steve Van Amburgh, stated they are in discussion with prospective tenants:

 

Quote

 

“We are talking with one group today that thinks this is the optimal location for them.

 

“We have a couple of discussions going on for 150,000 to 200,000 square feet of office leasing in Deep Ellum,” Van Amburgh said. “We might build 300,000.”

 

The mixed-use development is called the Epic and includes a 150-room boutique hotel, retail and 300 apartments.

 

StreetLights Residential would build the apartment tower.

 

CBRE is marketing the office building to tenants. KDC won’t build the tower on a speculative basis.
