Yeah, I've been surprised by that one driving around. Fun to see more height in the area.

I saw Domain Tower 3 yesterday from Elgin as Mopacs posted about. I tried getting a photo, but it was a crapshoot. It was kinda hazy yesterday, and we didn't stop. So, just a blurred highway photo of it on the horizon.

I did also see it from US 290 just as you approach SH-130 from the west bound access road.

The Bowen and whatever the tall office tower next to it is called

Syndic · #**2104** Posted **Mar 22, 2021, 3:58 PM**

Looks a little grim and dystopian.

For whatever reason, Domain 3 seems to hit a definitive "skyline" height, in ways that the rest of the Domain doesn't really quite achieve. Not sure what that exact number in feet is, but it's clearly a milestone.

Looking forward to 2026 or so when the first 300 footer at Broadmoor tops off.

I believe this one is Domain 2.

You're right. I have to admit, I get Domain buildings mixed up all the time.

The Oxblue construction cam shows the Bowen and Domain 2 Tower.

It used to be Domain 3. But they swapped names between Domain 2 and Domain 3 for some reason a while back.

Mopacs · #**2109** Posted **Mar 23, 2021, 3:04 AM**

I really like how the Bowen is turning out.

There is something about buildings that are at least 300' that makes them stand out. That's why I arbitrarily use 300' as my measure of a significant project. Also, before the internet one had to reference Almanacs for the number of skyscrapers in cities around the world. 300' was used as the starting point in all the sources I used to reference that had counts of skyscrapers.

If you still have one of those world almanacs - you know, one of these, and you look at the credit citation for the building data, you'll see the name Marshall Gerometta listed. He's really kind of the godfather of collecting building heights as he's collected them for 50 years. I met him back in 2004 and we wandered around in some buildings and tried to track down some building heights. Since I knew he was contributing building data for the almanac, I would send him email updates with new heights I found and construction updates.

I wonder if they have tenants for the building yet.

As far as I've heard, not yet. Expedia/VRBO has their entire Domain 2 building available for sublease and I've heard that a tech company is close to signing a sublease for about half of the building.

Domain 3, from Summer Moon earlier today:

I haven't been up to the Domain since Covid started. Drove by to see the stadium the other day.

That new building is BIG.

Parmer and I-35

The Domain skyline is looking better than Waco's skyline already........

Could we end up seeing medium sized skinny towers like Hyatt Centric/Aloft in the near future? Not having a parking podium (or any parking whatsoever) is kind of perfect for the Domain considering how insulated it all is.

I would faint if that happened within the next 5-10 years.

I think it would be a while before we see that. My guess is some of the industrial business parks would be redeveloped before we see that level of density in the Domain area.
