Also something is happening next to the 18 story Craig Hall arts center. I do believe they have begun the staging for the 45story. I noticed it a few weeks ago. I personally dont believe all of the "big boys" listed here are going to go up.....but just imagine seeing all those cranes up at the same time if they did. 1984 all over again. It wouldn't look like the same city. Edited August 27, 2015 by JasnoDTX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasnoDTX Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 yeahh, that list seems way too generous in regards to the projects that the author thinks will get built in Dallas.. Yeah not holding my breath for many of these but you never know. You gotta admit the first group U/C is already impressive. If half of the 2nd group gets done...wow. Especially the 45-60 next to Trammell crow. I saw someone say it takes a 400footer to make an impact on the skyline...and that would be well over. Not to mention the other 45 story next the the Craig Hall arts center. As I said something is physically happening there right now. The Harwood master plan is INSANE. I dont think that I posted the concept pics here yet. That one Im not sure of....along with the 80x2/60x2 Cadiz towers. Hey at least we dream BOLD haha. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suck it San Francisco! Thats in the Harwood location. Check the map in the link! *jumping around like a madman* Nice renderings but this seems conceptual. Too early to celebrate anything and we've seen many grand proposals end up never built in both Texas cities. Twin 80 story towers is a lot of space. Can the market there handle all of this new office space suddenly added to the equation?!? Edited August 28, 2015 by tigereye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdude Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 no offense at all but does anyone really believe this will happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasnoDTX Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) no offense at all but does anyone really believe this will happen? I dont know but the amount of proposals will inevitably lead to a winner. Another thing. There's been discussion about the height and how the FAA would allow it.....Well it turns out it's in the same "lane/flightpath" as the Hillwood Perot site which has NO height limit. So its definitely possible the height could get approved. Harwood supposedly is a strong firm. Hope they can make it happen. As far as tenants there are many companies right now have chosen to move to D recently. Including London-based Adestra. General Electric is looking at Dallas. Also the consolidation of DirectTV/AT&T could yield need for big office space. My money is on Hillwood(Perot) and Harwood for any real future results. I dont think the 80x2/60x2 Cadiz towers (That Turkish dude) (Southside of Downtown) will gain traction anytime soon. Dallas with FIVE supertalls going up at once? ...Not likely. Oh but that would be some spectacle our nation would be proud of. Edited August 28, 2015 by JasnoDTX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The FAA might also be more lenient on new heights now that you can do RNAV GPS approaches, and curve around the tall buildings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The Harwood supertall looks like 4 buildings mashed together. I would much rather see that little one be the tallest. It is interesting I guess, and that location is perfect for a new focal point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my fun celebrating but will try not to mention it anymore until more solid news comes. I will report it here. There are tons of other "real" Dallas development happening now. But after a little research I learned that this tower would be the TALLEST in the USA outside of NYC and CHI. Phillys new Comcast Innovation without spire is 911ft.(1121) LAs Wilshire Grand without spire is 934.(1100) SanFrans and Miami new supertalls are under 1080ft I can also almost guarantee that if it happened Houston would get the wheels turning on another supertall. Win win for both cities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hey man at least you have a pretty picture to look at...meanwhile our "102+ story downtown tower" is nothing but a figment of the imagination.I'd be proud of that bruh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not the wow factor I was hoping for. It's clean and tall, but not in love with the design. I have yet to see Miami's supertall, but San Francisco's is decent. Apart from Freedom Tower it seems the new supertalls in this country fall short of the rest of the world. The twin 80 story ones by the park are beautiful. I prefer those.

JasnoDTX Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) /I have yet to see Miami's supertall,/ To my knowledge it's been approved(among others according to wiki) but hasnt started construction. 1049ft Its called Brickhouse or something. I dunno. I read somewhere that the USA has a FAA height limit of 2,000 ft. While other countries are throwing up 1,500fts+ like its routine. Haha. I wouldnt want a 1,500 footer in Dallas. It would look ridiculous IMO. 1,200 foot max including a spire for Dallas. Maybe 1,300 max for Houston. Supertall is good enough. Megatall isnt necessary. Remember many of the other countries are using cheap and SLAVE labor to build these things in an attempt to "one-up" the USA. They're insecure maybe? Many of China's highrises are empty. And I heard Putin's Moscow CBD supertalls (my fav btw) are have very low occupancy. Edited August 29, 2015 by JasnoDTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first pic is kinda weird cause it tower on the left looks mashed with another tower sticking out but check this one...Its a whole other tower. I don't like the design. It looks like something they will build in Singapore, or China. It appears to be over 4 million square feet. A city within a city, Tito's for Dallas if it gets built. Honestly I'll believe it when the cranes are there. Being so close to Love Field even getting insurance would cost a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being so close to Love Field even getting insurance would cost a lot of money. When comparing the first and 2nd renders you can see someone messed up. The 2nd one shows a third tower in front looking like a 800footer while in the first render it was mashed in with the twins.I dont know how I feel about the looks of all these bldgs but I suspect they'll grow on me. The shorter "slinky" bldg looks out of place and not symmetrical with anything though in person it may look awesome. Im liking the twin towers more than when I first saw them. Yea it looks like it should be in China........but that's what makes it so cool! It will continue the Dallas tradition of slightly bolder designs. The story behind these pics:These, and a few other renders, where "accidentally leaked" on to the Harwood forum a few days ago. Someone on DallasMetropolis grabbed them quickly before they were taken down. Then the next day the FAA submission came up on their website. Now everyone is buzzing about it on multiple forums. The height issue may not be an issue at all. Someone noted its in the same "window" as the Perot site with no height limit. Yes it will be interesting to see what happens. If I find more info I'll post it here. These would be the tallest in the USA outside NYC and CHI when not including spires of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativehoustonion Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 This proposal is not a proposal according to the Dallas Morning News. Harwood said they old renderings and they have not disclosed what to build there. It was pretty exciting for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasnoDTX Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) ^Maybe its not a true proposal yet but you dont do an FAA submission unless youre ready to do something. It's only been like 4 days dude. Including the weekend. Moving on... Highrises coming to Deep Ellum! Now there's a little controversy with nearby residents judging by the comments but it'll be really nice to see some towers on the east side. The Uptown boom is great but I like seeing Deep Ellum and Design District revving up. 17 stories doesnt seem that tall but its huge for that area. NIce design too. http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2015/08/high-rise-apartment-tower-coming-in-dallas-deep-ellum-district.html/ Edited September 1, 2015 by JasnoDTX 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
