arche_757 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Any estimate on start of construction for the next high rise within this development? Also, and this may be a “dumb” question, but is there any idea on whether the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas would sell that land in the next 10-15 years? I wonder if the developers know something we don’t? (Probably not, but just asking anyway.) *edit for clarity Edited May 18, 2022 by arche_757 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Federal Reserve site is not being planned for by the developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Ok. Thanks @TylerW. I was just curious if there is any 10-20 year plan for that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Apparently the Consolidated AT crane wasn't there to remove the tower crane. I think it might have loaded out the sections they had already removed from the tower crane. Edited May 23, 2022 by hindesky 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see either of the federal properties on either side going away for years/decades. That would require someone to sell property further West, which apparently isn't happening. You can only build where you can acquire property. Realistically, it would have to be between the location being built here and Shepherd, since no one in River Oaks is going to give up their property for high rise construction, and West of RO is Memorial Park. AIG isn't going to move, and the other potential properties are controlled by people who have their own plans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hindesky, Very nice images. The last one when enlarged really gives you the sense of just how close it is between downtown and this building. From this view and time of night it really accentuates that volume of space and It seems to pull downtown to its doorsteps. I always like seeing the boundary pushed a little farther out. I imagine its altered the skyline when seen from the loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 @Ross that’s true, but there is a big reason all the other plots developed (or were purchased) prior to this. Anyway, I hope it’s not so isolated in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see either of the federal properties on either side going away for years/decades. I don't think it would have been as stand-out farther west. No bayou for a backdrop, no downtown buildings as framing and too many other competing buildings... And the public housing doesn't look all that shabby...

arche_757 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I didn’t mean to imply that the public housing was bad, or shabby. It’s just these three pieces of land with their respective complexes/buildings make strange bedfellows. So to speak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the reasoning to put the suburban Federal Reserve there, but I'm sure the housing complex will densify & sell off part of the land. It's a huge lot and some of the buildings are what, 80 years old? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
