In the next 90 days the developer will break ground for its sixth office tower at Granite Park.
The 10-story, 330,000-square-foot building will house regional offices for mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
And Granite is crafting designs for two more office high-rises — including a 20-story tower fronting on S.H. 121.
“We started out here with one building and now we have a small city,” Fuller said.

The Fannie Mae tower on Granite Parkway will open in October of next year.

Granite Properties has just started construction on a 29,000-square-foot shopping center that fronts on S.H. 121.
“We have 11 restaurants in total planned for Granite Park,” Fuller said. “All the retail we built has been designed around servicing our office tenants — the same for the hotel.
It's taken about 16 months for the Dallas-based development firm Harwood International to get ready to head sky high with its 33-story, ultra-luxury residential skyscraper, but that's just what the firm plans to do in the next week or so.
Quote:
So far, Harwood has put seven homes under contract in the last seven days, Jessica Young, a spokeswoman for Harwood International, told the Dallas Business Journal.
"Our housing team — Harwood Living — is ahead of the game," said Young, who said Bleu Ciel will have approximately 158 homes (depending on finish out) within the skyscraper.

The architect of the project is Jean-Michel Wilmotte of Wilmotte & Associes S.A. in Paris.
Harwood International plans to start vertical construction on Thursday, April 7.

One of the properties Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is eyeing as a potential location for his new team training center and headquarters complex just came on the market for sale.
The vacant tract has more than 40 acres and is located northwest of downtown Dallas on the banks of the Trinity River at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.
A partnership headed by Dallas businessman Dale Foster has owned the property on both sides of the bridge at 505 Riverfront Boulevard for almost four years.
Quote:
The investors have previously looked at mixed-use development options for the land. It’s zoned for high density development.
Quote:
“We are taking the property to market,” CBRE senior vice president David Glasscock said. “We have not been approached by the Mavericks organization or Mark Cuban, but the property is for sale and we are open to discussion.”
Quote:
Another potential Riverfront site for the new Mavericks facility is south of Interstate 30.
Developer Matthews Southwest has 60 acres on Cadiz Street at Riverfront Boulevard.
The large vacant tract is just south of the growing South Side district along Lamar Street.
Cuban owns about 3.5 acres in the same area on Lamar.
The 23-story high-rise recently started construction on in the Cityplace project, Blackburn Street between McKinney Avenue and North Central Expressway.

Developer Forest City Enterprises says its new Uptown apartment and hotel tower will open in early 2018.
A second major project is in the works in Dallas Midtown redevelopment district along LBJ Freeway.
Developers are preparing plans for a new Marriott Hotel that would be built just east of the Dallas Galleria shopping mall.
The planned high-rise hotel is on part of the former Showcase Chevrolet property at Noel Road and LBJ, according to filings with Dallas’ planning and zoning department.

Carrollton-based Atlantic Hotels Group and Civitas Capital want to build the 256-room hotel on 3.6 acres.
Dallas-based architect 5G Studio Collaborative designed the project which includes a parking garage and large open courtyard.
City planners have taken issue with pedestrian access and the parking requirements for the development.
The proposed hotel tower is in an area surrounded by high-rise construction.
The Midtown district stretching from the Galleria to Valley View Mall has been earmarked for billions of dollars in mixed-use redevelopment.
A proposal is in the works to build a Hyatt Regency hotel that connects to the mall. The hotel, which would be a minimum of 15 stories and 295 rooms, would also include a city-owned conference center and a small space for the city’s public library.
The hotel is being proposed by the Dallas-based Sam Moon Group, which owns the Sam Moon Trading Co. and has recently branched into the hotel business. SMG has formed Moon Stonebriar Hotel Ltd. to acquire a portion of land from General Growth Properties for the hotel project.
Quote:
The project is proposed to be built on the mall’s northwest side between Dillard’s and Nordstrom.
Quote:
The proposal also calls for 3,000 square feet on the hotel’s first floor to be available for a library that would connect to the mall. The space would be leased by the city for $1 a year for 20 years.

Frisco has 13 hotels now and three more under construction. Several others are in the planning stages.
“We’re figuring that probably in the next two years, we will at least double our hotel inventory,” Roe said.
With his current development 80 percent leased, developer Bill Cawley is gearing up for a 2-building office project on the Dallas North Tollway in Addison.
Cawley Partners is marketing the 400,000-square-foot office project at 14555 Dallas Parkway south of Belt Line Road.
The development site on the west side of the tollway is just south of where Cawley is currently building its 6-story Tollway Center building.
Quote:
Because of strong demand for office space in that area, Cawley has almost doubled the size of his next project from original plans.
“We are looking for a lead tenant to kick off the project, and once we start it will probably 18 months before the doors open,” Cawley said.
Developer bringing in Texas' first lagoon as part of $1B project
Quote:
Texas developer Kent Donahue is moving forward with plans to put a Cabo-inspired blue lagoon in Lake Ray Hubbard to anchor his $1 billion resort-anchored, mixed-use development in Rowlett, which is about 15 miles east of downtown Dallas.
The lagoon will be surrounded by a resort and marina, two condo towers, luxury apartments, a single-family home community and more than 1 million square feet of office, retail, restaurant and entertainment space.

Interesting, could have some decent sized highrises. Rowlett is the new Cabo!
This is interesting, very unique. If the lagoon actually ends up getting built, this could will more than likely wind up being a major attraction for the area.
Developer Fairfield Residential has purchased property at Hi Line Drive and Turtle Creek where it plans to construct a residential tower.
Quote:
“The nightlife and destination being created down there is exciting.”
Fairfield’s property buy is just across the street from where the new Virgin Hotel is scheduled to start construction later this year.
Quote:
Fairfield can build a tower of close to 20 floors.
“We’re in the midst of the design side of it – we are putting everything together,” Johnston said. “All the buildings in the area are trending taller and we want a product that fits”
Some Victory-area construction progress. Ascent, Skyhouse, and the "urban" CVS. The Cinepolis tower will eventually start to rise to the right of the W as well, though it will be blocked by Ascent in this shot.
The proposed tower will sit in-between the newly-built Frost Bank Tower and another proposed office tower, 2850 N. Harwood, on the empty lot directly across Randall St.
The site — which is about three-quarters of an acre — at 2007 Randall Street is bound by the McKinnon, Randall and Harwood streets in the Harwood District.

Crescent Communities has filed a rezoning request with the City of Dallas, asking for additional density for the project for a 240-foot tall building, or a tower that is 20- to 22-stories in height.
Quote:
"This will be a smaller project in an internationally inspired district that is liveable, walkable and ensure the restaurants would continue to see traffic on the nights and weekends and give office tenants a place to live," he said.
Crescent Communities — not to be mistaken for Crescent Real Estate in Fort Worth — could get the project underway by the end of the year, or the first quarter of 2017.
WDG Architecture in Washington, D.C. is the project architect.

Blackwell has been scouring Dallas for "unique and authentic," places with lots of nearby employment and restaurants that are similar to Dupont Circle or Washington Circle in Washington, D.C.

"We want to develop in incredibly dynamic neighborhoods," he told me. "We want a unique chance to knit in with the neighborhood."
Hey, I have a question for you Dallas folks. I was just browsing around on Google Earth and noticed the two giant parking lots immediately northeast of the new Parkland Hospital. Is anything planned for that space? I guess I was under the impression that the parking lots were put there temporarily while the new hospital was being built. However, seeing all the trees that were planted, etc., it seems more permanent. Anyone know anything about that area?
It does seem like the area around these hospitals is ripe for development, especially with the Inwood/Love and the Southwest Medical District/Parkland DART stations. It looks like some stuff around there is under construction from what I see on Google Earth.
