I'd be a little nervous too about the possibility of something this nice actually coming to fruition in an overbuilt market like Dallas. I understand there has been an awful lot of annoucements for projects that never went anywhere in Dallas.

I think this tower has a pretty good chance. If/when the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park gets built on this location's doorstep, it will justify the high prices. Also, I would guess the Dallas condo market has at least another 5 years. Sure alot of announcements have fallen through but that is the nature of things. There has been a constant flow of projects over the past years and it doesnt seem to be slowing down yet.

Do you have a problem reading and comprehending? I am in no way being critical of Victory Tower, nor have I said that it will never happen. And I live in a dream world????

My goodness, what a thin-skinned group of folks you are. All I have said is that it does not appear as if the Tower is under construction, YET, and you guys respond as though I'd called your mothers whores. Don't take yourselves so seriously... We've been hearing from Dallasite here and on the DFW board since last March that Victory Tower was under construction, and yet, there has been scant or no evidence of that being true, even to this day.

Haha, wow someone can't take a joke. Like I said before, it IS ok to be critical of Victory Tower, you dont have to hide it. As for being critical and insulting towards other forumers(like rantanamo, Dallasboi and now, myself)...don't dish it if you can't take it. Construction has started on Victory Tower, anyone who actually goes to the construction site in person can see this. I can't believe someone sitting behind a small box screen, looking at even smaller boxes of images is telling the people who live around Victory Park that they're incorrect. You have responded NINE(9) times saying that information from other forumers is incorrect without any actual proof...you're hopeless. Talk about taking yourself too serious......

THIS JUST IN FROM THE DMN:

Houston19514 is correct. Finally, some accurate information. It seems that Victory Tower will never be built and Hillwood is pulling the plug on the entire Victory Park project. Hillwood spoke to the City of Dallas about possibly selling the shattered Victory Park at an extreme discount. The City of Dallas has shown interest in turning the former Victory Park into a homeless shelter for the Uptown area.

Houston19514, it is alright to be critical about Victory Tower. Although some think your tone is annoying let me reassure you, it is ok. It is ok to be happy living in your little dream world, and accepting whatever you think to be true. There were others who constantly said Victory wouldn't happen..and, can you believe it, they're still in denial to this day...they wont even go to a Mavs game or drive on I-35. But, to some disbelief, it is being built, and most Dallasites are excited about it...I guess we're just different that way.

Why thank you. I wasnt trying to shoot for "ridiculous", but if I achieved that also, than thank you for noticing. I do appreciate your concern about my self-esteem, however. Really, I was just trying to have a little fun here - dont take things so seriously. I used to be that way too, and I wasnt nearly as much fun back than as I am now. So relax, I really dont think that the level of pompousness is really that high in Dallas. It's there, but maybe to assign 35% to it was a bit much. I'm sure it's much lower than 35%. And most of that really comes from the image machine that is well oiled up there - I mean you have to hand it to them, they can build an image, and Houston could learn a thing or two from them.

I'm sure the majority of the fine citizens of Dallas are down to earth, just like we are.

Trust me, I did not take your post serious and I really did not take personal offense. However, there is a bit of true feelings behind all sarcasim, my posts included, and I sensed it in yours. My point is that I observe on the boards Skyscraper City, Skyscraper Page and also HAIF that there are constant flame wars between Dallas and Houston. Contrary to this trend is Dallasmetropolis.com which, like lockmat said, has only postive comments or at the very least, no reply to Houston issues. So then one has to ask, is it really Dallas that is trying so hard to defend itself and make itself appear better than other cities? Or is it Houston, with constant flame wars against Dallas on this and other forums, that can't stand the fact that Dallas may rank on the same level or higher than Houston on some aspects?

And always remember, like 2112 said, relax...

Wow, this thread looked promising but I guess it's met the same fate as every other thread like it.

So, could it be said that it's maybe 50% pompous, and that that is why the perception seems to be somewhat common? That percentage seems a little high, doesn

what's wrong with you guys? Seriously?

Ditto. I have yet to understand this entire DFW section of the board. Seems its more for entertainment rather than urban issues.
