    Hess Tower: Office Skyscraper At 1501 McKinney St.

    in Downtown

    Posted

    Finally! The first major important chink in the overhyped "Green Movement"! A massive blow to this trend. The LEED Gold Status should be ripped from the building as well now, drop it down to silver. All that expense and over design and promotion and "good intentions" for nothing. They could have saved millions and not endangered the citizens of the city by simply purchasing the buildings power from wind farms!

    "...DALLAS-A $100-million condominium tower will break ground in February on a 38,000-sf tract, once tagged as a hotel site for the Galleria mall. The 126-unit Galleria North Condominium project stands out from its peers not only for its irreplaceable corner, but a $1.5-million, high-tech backbone...."

    "....The development plans have been closely guarded as Mockingbird Properties' president Mitchell Vexler and team set about designing a 21-story footprint unlike any other condo product currently available in Dallas. "You don't talk until you have something to talk about," Vexler tells GlobeSt.com. "Being on the Galleria property, it's impossible to pull this off again."...."

    ".... European-style tower will take 18 months to complete. Ground will break on time, Vexler vows, saying his financing doesn't require any presales...."

    "...Galleria North Condominium Tower, set to rise at the corner of Alpha and Noel roads in front of Nordstrom's, will have units ranging from 890 sf to 3,050 sf...."

    WHAT?! This can't be true! Where will I buy my Roche Bobois?! This can't be happening. Where is the picture? Where is the website? Is this a LIE? There are no signs. I was shopping there just the other day and Roche Bobois did not say anything about closing or moving.

    Bartlesville Vs. Ponca City Oklahoma!

    Ponca City has 25,225 citizens. Bartlesville has 34,638 citizens.

    The both are think they are the BEST!

    PONCA CITY has the 2005 FINE CHINA Festival! What does Bartlesville have?

    Please! Bartlesville is so much more fabulous than that dirty PONCA CITY oil town. Smash those tacky corningware because Bartlesville is host to the 2005 Scarecrow on the Stoop Festival. There is no comparing these two cities. Bartlesville is far superior!

    Dallas' downtown is really dead. Even on business days. Yawn. At least Dallas has a good train system already. We are still working on our train system. But our downtown is a couple of decades ahead of Dallas' downtown. :rolleyes:

    Dallas' Downtown is absolutely BOOMING! Thousands of new residences live in recently converted skyscrapers with over 10,000 more under construction is coupled with an equally prolific explosion of ultra-chic restaurants and glamourous night clubs and supper clubs. Not mention luxury hotels and the private Penthouse Clubs atop many of the spires of downtown. There is now only two blocks of dead space between Deep Ellum and Downtown and three blocks between Downtown and the West End. Many new developments will quickly remove that.

    Additionally, as the covering of Woodall Rodgers Freeway with the fabulous and glamorous SKY GARDENS OF THE ARTS DISTRICT is completed, the ultra-chic UPTOWN area will spill into Downtown and Dallas will have a spectacularly active and dense city life.

    The Glamour, The Arts, The culinary delights, the sophisticated night life, the booming businesses, the concert and sporting venues, the private clubs, the ultra luxe hotel and residential, the spectacular architecture...Dallas has it all!

    Spirit Of Houston Statue

    This is a SCAM! I say. The so called statue is a photoshopped version of the SPIRITE OF THE WIND plugin from SIM CITY 4. And what are all those things coming out of her, well, you know...womanly area?

    hmmm...I guess it does feel good to nitpic someone else's posts.

    I apologize.. this information is, for practical purposes, entirely incorrect.

    Some of us @ Dallasmetropolis believe that Rosewood is CDAllen, a member that left for reasons more complicated than MAC incompatibility, which I believe is false, anyway.

    Yes, you should apologize and your post IS entirely incorrect.

    And FYI here are my SCREEN SHOTS of DALLAS METROPOLIS website on my MAC. This alone should prove what a lier you really are and show the rest of the community what a hack and liberal hate monger you really are. Everything else on your post becomes suspect by fiat.

    Unlike you, I don't cull my information from "the media". I socialize with the developers on owners of these properties. Lunch, bridge, Church, charities, concerts and dinner parties are all a part of my DAILY interaction with these movers and shakers of Dallas' skyline.

    Unlike you, I own and use the latest in Apple's computer technology, unarguably the best designed computer products and platform in the world. What ever PC hack Dallas Metropolis hired to create their site doesn't know what the hell he is doing!

    As for your wildly incorrect - just like the wild inaccuracies of the rest of your post - that I am this so called CD Allen...who ever, what ever...you are once again wrong wrong wrong! I haven't been on the dallasmetropolis site since it was called prairie city or something like that. Years ago! When they hired the loser to redo this site it has never progressed or functioned for me to even view it - for years!

    Why don't you save your hate mongering ways for the "gay&lesbian forums" or the "moveon.com support the terrorists" sites you frequent.

    THESE ARE THE SCREEN SHOTS ON MY LATEST MODEL APPLE 17" POWERBOOK with the LATEST software installed. You are a jerk and the moderators should demand that you stop FLAMING people just because your a radical left wing liberal! People like your make sure the Houston Architecture site remains a nasty "I hate Dallas and any one who talks about Dallas" site.

    As for my spelling, when they put a spell check on here I'll start worrying about it. You need to change your moniker to DUMBGUY8800. Ha!

    Progressing from splash on tab I then to tab II then to tab III. Absolutely stunning website design. And notice version 8.0 and 9.0 are on the way! Laughable.

    Only bus that didn't make it was the one that blew up. We had just moved all the thousands of Katrina refugees into apartments so all our stadiums and convention center were up and running empty waiting for Rita folks. All of our huge hotel stock was consumed for as far as the eye could see. So if you were staying at hotels with out a reservation, you probably had to move on. There were shelters for all and if you had friends and family, there was no turning away. Most are heading back now anyway.

    Good weekend for the Texas hospitality sector!

    by the way...Ms. Rosewood.

    heh, this may be fake. The 70 story mandarin looks like something going up in Seoul, and 2000 McKinney is just a pic of Espirito Santo Plaza in Miami.

    Dallas IS booming, though.

    Very observant Ubernerd. They were the only images not yet available so I sampled similar projects by the lead architect of both developments KPF. They tend to regurgitate the design city by city.
