Project Location

Quote:

The 39-story skyscraper will be constructed across the street from American Airlines Center arena and next door to the W Dallas Victory Hotel & Residences.

According to Hines' building permit information filed with the city, the project at 3099 Olive Street will cost more than $138 million. The residential tower will include 334 apartments and 9,500 square feet of retail space.

Quote:

Hines representatives so far aren't talking about the project. But word of the huge building surfaced last month in city planning documents.

The apartment tower is to be built on a site that in 2007 was to be used for the 43-story Mandarin Oriental Hotel & Residences. But the recession hit before work on the tower began and the project never got off the ground.

Victory Park's current tallest high-rise — the 31-story W Hotel — opened next door to the building site in 2006.

I don't understand these Franken-scrapers. Just left over/passed over design pieces cobbled together to make an amalgamation of ugly. Austin has a possible new tallest that is also a Franken-scraper. Meh.

That’s not the design of this new building.

Drove by yesterday on my way home. Fence is up and excavators are on site.
