Massive upgrade to Highland Park Village gets underway

The multimillion-dollar revamp to the tower along Preston Road — on the eastern side of Highland Park Village — includes remodeling and re-tenanting the second and third floors, as well as redoing the ground-floor lobby.

The upgrades will create a 6,100-square-foot rooftop terrace and will expand the third floor by about 19,000 square feet. It will also convert roughly 21,000 square feet of office space on the second floor into retail space, which, upon completion, will be home to the new William Noble Rare Jewels shop.

The exterior upgrades will reflect Highland Park Village's traditional Spanish architecture, which includes Spanish tile, facade details and wooden balconies.

Dallas-based Omniplan is the project designer.

The redo is slated for completion in mid-2018, with additional tenant announcements expected in coming months.

Glad to see underground parking become commonplace in Dallas.

First look: Six-story apartment/retail complex proposed in Lakewood

The new plans include a retail section on the first floor topped with five stories of residential units, 140 in total at about 975-square-feet a piece. That would mean an uptick in density, current zoning allows for a floor area ratio of 1.5:1, while this project seeks to increase that to 3.45:1.

Two stories of underground parking would support the building, although only one parking stall is provided per unit and the total number of spots has not yet been decided. There would also be “head-in parking” for shoppers on Oram.

Redo ramping up on downtown Dallas' landmark Adolphus Tower

"We've put in all new mechanical systems in the building," Hoque said.

He said the exterior of the 27-story 62-year-old office tower will be "all lit up."

On the third floor, Hoque is building a new conference center.

And below street level in the basement, construction is starting on a 7,500-square-foot shared office environment that will be geared toward start up companies and incubator business space.

Hoque - whose DRG Concepts restaurant company owns the Fish Market and Chop House Burger restaurants across the street - plans to turn a former bank branch space in the bottom of the Adolphus Tower into another eatery or retail space. There will also be retail along Akard.

When the $7.5 million project opened in 1955 it was touted as "the most modern office building in the Southwest."

Foster, y'all.

Round skyscraper by famed architect would remake Dallas' skyline

Developer H. Ross Perot Jr.'s Hillwood real estate firm has hired London-based Foster + Partners to create concept plans for an almost 70-story tower on the north edge of downtown.

The soaring glass and steel high-rise would sit just across Woodall Rodgers Freeway from the Perot Museum.

Artist's renderings of the building on display in the Perot family's new Dallas headquarters show a round building with three atrium areas and a lighted top.

"We have a million square foot tower planned," said Perot. "We have the rough renderings and this is what we want to build."

"With Sir Norman Foster as the architect, it's fabulous."

It's very hard to get these supernal projects off the ground, even in markets like Chicago and Dallas. Dallas is the hottest real estate market around, so it could happen.

Three-story building with restaurants, rooftop patios, event center planned for old downtown Frisco

A developer is planning a three-story building in old downtown Frisco that will include two rooftop patios, a rooftop park, restaurants, and an event center as well as retail and office space.

“We’re trying to create the rebirth of downtown, where people can go eat, shop and stay,” Churchman said.

Churchman said his focus on this project is to maintain historical downtown Frisco.

“With the bigger projects happening along the Dallas North Tollway, sometimes we forget what started this city and [what started it is] right here in old downtown Frisco,” Churchman said.

He is set to present the downtown project to the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission on April 11, when he is expected to ask the commission to rezone the property to Old Town Commercial.

If approved by the P&Z and City Council, Churchman said he is expecting to break ground at the beginning of fall.
