That new Tom Thumb will really help spur continued development in that area, really excited to see the City Lights project expand!

The initial rendering made this look like cheap stucco but thank goodness for brick!! Additionally, unlike phase 1, phase 2 interacts well at street level. Great project all-around!

Same here. It appeared to be EIFS, but a closer look revealed the brick veneer.

Dallas developer to bring sky-bridge living to Fort Worth's Medical District
Candace Carlisle
June 16, 2016

Urban apartment development group — Dallas-based Lang Partners LLC — has begun building a new apartment community in Fort Worth's hospital district, which will utilize a sky-bridge to help connect the community.

The 327-unit apartment complex, called Oleander Apartments, will be built on two separate city blocks on West Rosedale and Oleander Streets, with a bridge over Seventh Avenue in Fort Worth.

The sky-bridges will give would-be residents the ability to have access to the apartments' garage, pool and other apartment community amenities.

As part of the development deal, Lang Partners have received approval for $1.2 million in tax increment financing funding from the Medical District, which will be used for public right-of-way and easement improvements, streetscape improvements and utility work.

Construction is slated for completion in summer 2017.

Perot’s high-rise project will be the first office tower along Dallas’ Turtle Creek since the 1980s

Ross Perot Jr.’s Hillwood Urban real estate firm is looking for tenants for a high-rise office to be built on the last vacant site along Dallas’ posh Turtle Creek corridor.

The 17-story tower planned at Turtle Creek Boulevard and Cedar Springs Road will occupy a block that has been empty since the mid-1980s.

Hillwood hired award-winning architect Pickard Chilton of New Haven, Conn., to design the high-rise project at 3001 Turtle Creek Blvd.

It looks nice enough but I kinda liked the previous building designs for that spot. I can live with these though.

The preservation of most of the trees there currently, and some are very mature and great specimens, is what I really applaud the most for this development. It creates a buffer along TCB and includes space for a large restaurant, which is good use of part of the property.

Chilton's proposal is more modern than the last, which was a bit busy.

It has a timeless, '60s air to it, keeping with the other high-rises along Turtle Creek Boulevard. It also appears more three-dimensional. The overhang and support columns add interest.

And as FutureSooner mentioned, the scale and setback helps maintain Turtle Creek's park-like setting.

I think it's perfect. I love that the trees are staying!

City is growing. I particularly like the infill that we see in the top left and left of center of the aerial pic. Its really helping to expand downtown.

I bet if we look at aerials with this same angle lets say 10 years ago, so much has changed.

That may be the most illustrative pic I've seen as far as what is going on in Dallas.

I think a lot of people don't realize there's a lot of development outside of downtown/uptown. I love how each of the neighborhoods flow into one another!

Its interesting that the media stock imagery of Dallas still only shows just the downtown area, which an outsider may think nothing has changed here. That picture really shows the real deal and how much things have progressed. Put a picture from 1983 when uptown was mostly single family homes and car lots.... it would show the dramatic growth of the central city north of Woodall's Rodgers freeway and west of 75.

most pics you see on the internet show the pyramidy building and the sun sphere or whatever it is.

was in Ft Worth recently, I wish we had been able to stop by Dallas. the prairie was so rolling and green, and the down skyline / addison were partially visible from the plane and impressive.

Great shot! That debunks all of the "Dallas is brown, gross and has no trees" stereotypes you hear on these forums.
