infinite_jim Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Until Younan sells, don't hold your breath on this. This should be a residential tower not office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) That was my next question. Who is Younan? Sounds like a superhero, a name of a transformer, or the name of a far distant moon of Jupiters. Edited May 18, 2017 by bobruss 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 http://www.younanproperties.com/ Sounds like its a commercial holdings firm Quote Younan Properties invests and provides asset management services for Class A office properties, retail centers, golf courses and luxury resorts on behalf of private, corporate and institutional investors. Today, the company has assembled a fully scalable, international platform with a valuation of more than $1 Billion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Younan owns one or more of the properties on this block, including the 1010 Lamar building. However, I'm not sure we need for them to sell before the city's proposed mixed-use project can proceed; the city has (or at least had) an understanding with Younan to participate in the project by leasing part of its building and being provided with some parking for its office tenants. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I recall the same thing. There is probably documentation posted earlier in the thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Apologies for confusing east with west. Directions are hard! My first thought also was that it seemed strange to have the parking block on Main. The rendering shows the main entrance fronting Dallas so part of the parking garage would be next to the main entrance. In both the Capitol Tower and proposed Market Square towers the parking structures are in the back, away from the primary entrance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ArchFan Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 I gotta say, putting an urban Target in the old Sakowitz building sounds like a great idea. I'm not sure whether the investment community is ready to fund something like that yet, but I think that ultimately it would quite successful as more residential buildings open nearby. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have to say the chances of that were far higher when the DRA was involved. But that’s just my gut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything stalled to redevelop then I'm afraid there was no desired use for the current structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I like the different building materials. Makes me think there was (once) a smaller building in between? I've been watching the remodel/artwork for a month. Here's a picture from a few days ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
