I think you can count it but I definitely wont. For me I have a hard cutoff on things, so if the threshold is 300 meters then it needs to be a minimum of 300 meters somehow with either roof height, a crown, a lantern, a spire, or even an antenna.

If it doesn’t get there somehow someway then I’m not counting it.

If I’m invited to a get together at say 8:30 PM then I’m the type of person that gets there exactly at 8:30 PM.

You did. It’s 890 feet and called the Field Street development.

You’re a bit behind. That tower/development has been halved.

^^^That's the word I heard too. It was on shaky ground with which to begin.

drummer Sep 20, 2022 8:11 PM

^^ I heard that as well. Which is a bummer! It would have been an amazing addition to that area for Uptown.

N90 Sep 20, 2022 8:24 PM

When did it get halved? And wtf? Why is it so painfully hard for Dallas to get anything tall going? I feel like this always happens to them with every single tall building that’s proposed that it never gets past the proposal stage.

Dallas and Atlanta are so unfortunate when it comes to getting anything 700+ feet built now for the last decade plus.

When did this happen? Keep in mind there are several developments in that area and there may be confusion.

Ah I haven’t seen any updates on that one so it slipped my mind. Tallest proposal in the U.S outside of NYC and Chicago. * :)

N90 Sep 20, 2022 10:44 PM

That’s a very good hint.

There’s the Transit Terminal Tower proposal in Philly at 1,200 feet and 333 South Figuora in LA at 1,108 feet. Waldorf Astoria in Miami at 1,049 feet.

Ehh it's fine. I don't think we even know when that'll start, if it will.

I believe the Transit Terminal Tower, while possible, is at this point just a concept. Who knows maybe it'll happen.
333 South Figuora is dead. The developer (?) got caught up in a corruption scandal, FBI, all that jazz. (Though it speaks more to LAs process that the developer even felt the need to bribe, but that's another story).
However the site is still good, so it's possible someone else could build one that tall there.

As for Waldorf, that's only 1,049 ft. It's quite possible this proposal could eclipse it.

The Goldman Sachs office towers will most likely not be that tall, but the mentioned 890' tower is not an office tower and I don't think there's been any mention of it's proposed height being reduced at this point. However, this is Dallas and I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen.

Skyscraper likely to replace Fogo de Chão

Quote:

There are indications that yet another property is being wrestled away from embattled real estate firm World Class Holdings and its owner, Nate Paul. This one involves a prime downtown site near the Austin Convention Center that's expected to go high-rise in the future.

After the top two winning bidders from the July auction failed to close, other qualified bidders were invited to re-bid on the site. DHA's $20.1 million offer was accepted, and it now faces an Oct. 10 deadline to close. Sam Affanhe, the broker representing DHA Capital in the deal, said "the money is there" to close the deal.

Sources familiar with the site told Austin Business Journal the property could support about 440,000 buildable square feet or a 50-story tower. DHA Capital would likely build a vertical mixed-use development at the site, with retail on the ground floor and condos or apartments above. The firm has primarily focused on multifamily developments in New York, according to its website.

"We would anticipate being able to start ground work and construction within a year, year and a half," Affanhe said.

Actually the Dallas development will be in two phases, first phase will be three buildings not very tall on 4.5 acres. Construction to start in the first quarter of next year. The second phase will be the taller buildings that may include the proposed 890’ mix use tower on the remaining 6.5 acres.

Does 4/C have a dedicated thread? I can’t find it.
