This was posted on Dallasmetropolis.com and also houstonarchitecture.info but I havn't seen it on SSP. This is the first time I've seen the 70 story Victory Place II or the 42 story ICE Tower...both of which are VERY impressive buildings.



Note: there are some inaccuracies (missing new, old renderings, or cancelled projects) in the image but it is still pretty impressive.

But, I think that should inspire someone to do a more fine-tuned visual of projects in that area. Especially, since the number is pretty substantial.

Lofty plan for West End site
Taking cues from downtown successes, developer plans apartments, shops

The Purse Building was constructed in 1905 as a regional warehouse for farm equipment. The historic six-story Purse Building, at 601 Elm St., is slated to house up to 70 residential units, plus some ground-level retail space, said Le Sare Carter, a partner with developer Barker-Nichols LLC.

Ms. Carter said the firm was encouraged by its early success with the Interurban Building at 1500 Jackson St., a downtown high-rise with 134 apartments, and the upscale Urban Market grocery store and eatery.

"Residential leasing is very strong downtown, and Victory will bring in a lot more people," she said.

The project reflects renewed interest in the West End, just as Hillwood's nearby $3 billion Victory development becomes more of a reality.

Already, the shell of the W hotel and condominium complex towers over the project, and luxury retailers and high-end restaurants are on the way.

During the last several years, the West End Historic District has lost some of its luster to newer, flashier developments in Uptown and on downtown's Main Street.

"We're going through growing pains," said Greg Schooley, executive director of the West End Association, adding that two significant buildings in the district, the Landmark Center and the West End Marketplace, are largely vacant.

But that could change with Victory opening next door.

"What Victory has spurred for us is a lot of real estate activity," Mr. Schooley said. "Right now there are a lot of deals and leases in the works."

Michael Puls, a real estate analyst with Foley & Puls Inc., said West End residential developments could find a sweet spot by being close to Victory's nightlife and retail offerings without the luxury prices.

"Victory could energize West End's residential market," Mr. Puls said.

Demand has been strong throughout downtown Dallas, where the center city's 2,200 for-lease units are more than 90 percent leased, said Kourtny Garrett, director of marketing for the Central Dallas Association.

The Purse Building was built by Parlin and Orrendorff Co. in 1905 as a regional warehouse for farm equipment. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and by the Texas Historical Commission.

The building was last used by Dallas County for office space but has been vacant since 1994.

Barker-Nichols plans to create 800- to 900-square-foot lofts that incorporate the building's 14-foot ceilings, oversize windows and brick-and-heavy timber construction.

Gary Pitts of BGO Architects is working on the design.

Rents would be priced similarly to other recently developed downtown apartments, Ms. Carter said.
