"Today, with occupancies up dramatically, with the market really clamoring for new technology and the latest in new buildings ... it's a wonderful point in time to develop new product," said John Goff, chairman and CEO of Crescent Real Estate Holdings, which will develop the new tower, one of at least eight office projects proposed or underway downtown.

At 600,000 square feet, the Crescent building, designed by HKS Architects, is expected to break ground this summer and could be ready for tenants by the end of 2016.

When a building gets to that stage, the developers are getting serious.

Seems like Balfour Beatty's got more than one downtown project to construct.

Would be better if the parking garage could be cladded with a similar facade pattern as the tower.

The growth is explosive. While visiting in March, I personally have never seen so many tower cranes in one metro area. It will just get better.
