Tall libraries can be found at lots of schools, off the top of my head Notre Dame, Lamar University in Beaumont, and an older one at UT. Please don't tell me that these don't meet the defined threshold of skyscraper, the whole post was exaggeration. The National Library of France in Paris certainly falls into skyscraper library category. Quite beautiful also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything looks impressive You might be referring to The Epic. It has that jenga style..like a mini version of the independent in Austin. I believe it's 15 stories but looks larger. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1860531 It has an accompanying tower next to it called The Hamilton.

Looks like 10 floors office space on top of 6 floors of parking (plus perhaps another floor of parking below grade). https://theepicdallas.com/office-2550-pacific-avenue-at-epic/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) To add some context. This project is sort of like a master plan and is a long way from happening. First, they need rezoning approval from the city. Then they have to empty out a large multi family complex on which they are still, currently, signing 12-month leases. Then, of course, that complex must be demolished and new infrastructure installed. Then, IF there is sufficient demand, they will start building some buildings that may or may not look something like these renderings.

Or as it says in the article Fitzgibbons said the existing Northend apartments aren’t going anywhere for a while. Hunt Realty has had full ownership of the property for 20 years and was a partner in the construction of the rental units. “We are still signing 12-month leases,” he said. "It’s going to take every bit of nine months for the rezoning process. “Then to design and finance the first phase, we are into 2023 before we truly start anything.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 More details revealed about Hunt Realty's massive Uptown mixed-use project https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2020/11/09/uptown-mixed-use-site-could-feature-1.html Behind a paywall for me but this was quoted on the skyscraperpage.com Forum. “ The centerpiece of the 11-acre project, as seen in renderings, will be an 83-story mixed-use tower. Plans for the tower include a 500-room hotel, which will sit below a 595-unit residential high-rise. At a proposed 890 feet tall, the tower would be the second tallest building in Dallas, coming in just shy of the 921-foot Bank of America Plaza.” Oak Lawn Committee Sees Changes For Knight Street And Night Sky https://candysdirt.com/2020/11/10/oak-lawn-committee-sees-changes-for-knight-street-and-night-sky/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
