Houston19514 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Not just Dallas. They want a distinctive name and they realized there are apartment buildings all over the country with the Preston name, including San Antonio (and the little sister up north). If one does a google search, one can see what they mean; there are apartment buildings with Preston in their name in almost every significant city one can think of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Preston worked better with the historic Market Square area. "Brava!" is what you shout after a great performance from an opera diva. This building is two blocks away from our opera house. The hint of European culture and refinement and the association with young beautiful female singers are probably more marketable to this building's potential residents than anything involving historic Market Square.

Nate99 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The new parking garage there across the street is really going to be stinking up the joint when these two towers are finished. Hopefully someone will see some value there and do something cool. I don't think the immediate area is hurting for office space, unfortunately, but put another residential tower right there and you could justify a nice grocery store on the ground floor. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That site is still planned for a 1m SF office tower developed by TC and Linbeck.
