The DFW Urban Forum has been saying that the height is wrong from the DMN article, and that it should be about 100 feet higher (the Business reporter got his figures wrong?) As KevinFromTexas said in an earlier posting on here, it looks taller than 560' compared to those buildings surrounding it. Guess we'll find out soon enough...and the other tower that was alluded to, I believe, is the Corrigan Tower (working name?) being proposed as a 52+ story condo high rise just a few blocks away in downtown Dallas. Nothing concrete has been announced yet but supposedly within a few months we should know more. Maybe Owlhorn knows more??

Are you talking about Craig Hall's building? Seems he is in court with the City right now.

Forgot about Craig Hall. That's a second one even closer. If that dispute is solved, his tower is already designed and the model has been shown off. I guess we shall see if he's serious or not soon, with him now having three competitor buildings in close proximity.

For those interested in brief back-story regarding this site. . .

........................................


History: A little bit of insight into this sites recent past:
Past proposals that may or may not include everything that had ever come to light over the past 25 years.

1980s. . .


Dallas Tiimes Herald

Late 1990s - Early 2000s. . .


Brook Partners/CTroyMathis

There was also an alternate tower design as well. Boxy and brown. We'll call her Boxy Brown.


Mid 2000s. . .


Beck/Corgan Assoc.

And, once again, it's current evolution. . .


Brook Partners/Johnson Fain Partners/Green Grass Studios

The coolest thing about this building is the site... it sits in a clover-leaf style freeway exit ramp.

I certainly hope the Museum Tower gets built, but I also hope they build that 1900 Pacific above as well. That looks awesome!!!!!!
