Florida-based Parmenter Realty Partners said Monday that it has completed its purchase of the 42-story Tower at Cityplace on North Central Expressway.
The Miami-based investor has had the 1.35 million-square-foot skyscraper near Dallas’ Uptown district under contract for more than a month.
The new owner said that it will build a “state-of-the-art urban mixed-use development surrounding the tower containing over 600,000 square feet of restaurants, shops and residential dwellings” on vacant land surrounding the tower.
This quality of development, the zoning, the planning in downtown and the inner-city areas of Dallas are just amazing. The life going on in the neighborhoods are great. The parks, the mixed-use, great restaurants, museums, venues. The amount of development is crazy. Its not tall, but its the second most active construction market after New York. |
your on a
skyscraper forum and you dont care about tall buildings? im not buying that...
the development at CityPlace is excellent and Dallas is very well coordinated with better connectivity, i will admit. but you seem to forget Houston has
no zoning.
one could compare the Williams Tower area to the new CityPlace plans, with theGalleria and multiple residential options surrounding the base of the tower. its just not all one cohesive master plan, its a mish mash of different developments that work together. sure zoning helps have a more organized city, but id say were doing just fine without it.
