The link to the flyer was removed (The flyer was for Fountain Place, not for the AMLI apartment building. It's possible CBRE got some pushback from AMLI). Whether the AMLI building will look anything like this rendering seems to be an open question. Hope they don't change it too much. I like that render.

I probably should have worded that as not having the inclination to look up the amounts for the campus at the time. The full picture is hard to get, because the industrial district the campus is in doesn't make the bills available on their website. The rate for the ID is 1.33, so that's going to generate $13 million in taxes without even looking at the school and county amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "We wanted a very clean, geometric object and the two towers will dance with each other across the garden," Speck said. "It really will be distinctive on the skyline — the kind of signature just another box would never be." Quote "The glass needed to be the primary connection between the two buildings," Speck said.

KinkaidAlum Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I went to see Morrissey in Dallas. I'm completely jealous that the Majestic Theatre still stands and has been turned into a great smaller concert venue. Yeah, we've got whatever it's called now in Bayou Place and the HOB but this is different. I stayed at The Joule and walked to and from the venue. Passing by the old Neiman Marcus also made me jelly. Downtown looked great (well, the 6 blocks I explored before heading out to Deep Ellum to visit my friend's new brick and mortar Easy Slider joint. She's killing it after years in the food truck biz. I chose going to the Dallas show for this type of experience after Morrissey's concert in Houston was moved from White Oak to freaking Sugar Land. Dallas has a lot of great things going on. So does Houston. Grow up or get off of this thread, native onion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchFan Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) I particularly like the design of AMLI's building. I think maybe part of that is because it draws a bit of attention away from Pei's design next door, which always struck me as being somewhat "wrong" in the massing of shapes. I generally like his work a lot -- not so much the brutalist stuff, but the things he did after that. Edited June 11, 2017 by ArchFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 My understanding is that Henry Cobb designed Allied Bank Tower to play off of its older brother Allied Bank Plaza in Houston. It's a nice link. Both buildings also make more sense in plan view. Where Allied Bank Plaza (1000 Louisiana, Wells Fargo Plaza) is like two quarter-circles offset diagonally, so too Allied Bank Tower at Fountain Place is a square with a parallelogram inscribed diagonally across it. The tower's peak ingeniously splits the parallelogram in half. The angles of the resulting secondary triangles are a little off visually when viewed in section, but who's counting? The bluish glass has become so imitated in Texas buildings since that it unfortunately no longer obviously links the two sibling towers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Park Plaza, site of the world's first drive-through bank, Hillcrest State Bank (1938) Mixed-Use Office Retail 347,000 SF The ground-floor retail serves as an amenity for the office workers and activates the street level. The streetscape and pedestrian crossing areas are carefully planned to ensure visitor safety. Since the development will be built on the site of an old office building and two surface parking lots, the project required extensive rezoning through the City of University Park. The design was successfully approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and is anticipated to start construction soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Plans for a new downtown Dallas grocery store are making the rounds Project Location Another block of downtown Dallas — the street level of the Mercantile Building — is being prepared for new retail tenants, including a long-sought-after grocery store. The Urban Design Peer Review, a group that works with the City of Dallas Plan Commission, has been shown plans that include a Royal Blue Grocery on Ervay Street. The grocery is shown on plans in the Mercantile Building storefronts on the corner of Ervay and Main streets. The Peer Review plans from Droese Raney Architecture mention the possibility for some outdoor seating. Royal Blue partnered with Dallas investors Zac Porter, Emily Ray-Porter and Cullen Potts in 2015 for its first Dallas store in Highland Park Village. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
