Alliance Residential met with the Oak Lawn Committee regarding the orientation of a possible 22-story, 240' tower in Knox Park.

Project proposed at the southern corner of Cole and Armstrong.

Project may change given OLC, CC and developer's decisions.

Project Location

Last night, they returned with a vastly different configuration. The same 340-unit density, but they siphoned units off the back 80 percent of the lot and placed them in a high-rise on Armstrong Avenue. This left the very northern part of the property with a 22-story, 240-foot high-rise with the remainder of the property within MF-2’s height of three stories.

UT Southwestern planning a $480 million expansion of Clements Hospital


Callisonrtkl

Project Location

UT Southwestern is planning a $480 million expansion that will add 292 patient beds and 19 operating rooms to its flagship William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital by 2020.

The expansion is driven by “a greater-than-expected need” for specialty care, in areas such as neurology and cancer, hospital officials said Wednesday. The goal is to consolidate resources, boost efficiency and enhance the quality of care provided to patients, said Dr. Daniel Podolsky, president of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Clements Hospital will remain open as UT Southwestern builds a third tower on the north end of the current facility.

That center has become “a top priority,” with significant investments in basic research into brain injury and disease, and research to generate new approaches and treatments, he said.

A “significant part” of the third tower will focus on services for patients suffering from brain-related illnesses, and will staff neurologists, psychiatrists and other related clinicians.

Funding for the new tower will come from bond sales previously approved by the UT System Board of Regents and supplemented with philanthropic support.

Crystal Lagoons waterpark will make a splash in Prosper home community

A Prosper home community will be getting a 5-acre Crystal Lagoon waterpark to help lure residents to the project.

Windsong Ranch, located on U.S. Highway 380 west of the Dallas North Tollway, plans to build the water feature to create "a beach-style lifestyle" for residents in the 2,030-acre development.

Windsong Ranch developer Terra Verde Group said Monday that construction of its Crystal Lagoon waterpark will start this winter and will be completed in early 2019.

"This is a real game changer for us," said Craig Martin, founding partner of Terra Verde Group. "This will be the only one announced for a master planned residential community in North Texas.

The lagoon will have watersports including boarding, windsurfing, sailing, diving, kayaking and swimming.

"What you have when it is completed is something that really does look like a beach in the Virgin Islands," Martin said. "It has sandy beaches all down one side, and it doesn't have the feeling of a swimming pool.

Eagle Ford School to be renovated for offices



Project Location

The 1923 West Dallas school, famous as the elementary school where outlaw Bonnie Parker attended, could be coming into a new era.

The city initiated efforts last year to make the Eagle Ford School a Dallas historic landmark because of its significance as a last remnant of Cement City and the Eagle Ford community. That move prevented the building, which was on the market, from being torn down for about three years while its case is under review.

Moser has plans to restore the building’s facades, expose bricked-in windows, replace windows and doors and add a paved parking lot. The interior will be renovated as an office space.

“We will bring this building back to a good condition for another hundred years,” Moser told the Dallas Landmark Commission this week.

Rosewood Property brings in venture partner for 2.5M-square-foot corporate magnet in Plano



Project Location

Rosewood Property and Patrinely Group unveiled plans Tuesday outlining a 12-story, 343,800-square-foot office tower, called One Heritage Creekside, within Heritage Creekside's new 72-acre mixed-use campus along the President George Bush Turnpike on the west side of Interstate 75.

In all, the mixed-use campus — which is aimed at luring a major corporate tenant — will total more than 2.5 million square feet of Class A office space, retail, luxury urban apartments, hotels and single-family homes.

One Heritage Creekside, which could deliver as early as the fourth quarter of 2019, will be the first of four office buildings in a quad, with an additional fifth tower for a large company's operations, such as Amazon's proposed HQ2.

Even though the office tower could deliver as early as the fourth quarter of 2019, a spokeswoman for the development group said they require a tenant commitment before beginning construction.

2323 Cedar Springs Rd



Project Location

The client is looking for a signature building in the heart of the most important subdistrict in Dallas. Anchored by two restaurants, the proposed 600,000 square foot, 27-story building intends to dampen the “architectural noise” that is surrounding the site with many different architectural styles, and rise as an elegantly constrained object.

While striving to satisfy the client’s desire to design the building such that the top would make an architectural statement recognizable on the Dallas skyline, project goals include maximizing view corridors from the site, assist in unifying/extending the pedestrian experience in the neighborhood, establish a park space that serves the buildings and neighborhood alike, and seek to create a “legacy” building for Granite Properties.

Building form and skin manipulate light; undulating vertically to provide varying floor plates, curtain wall planes extend above the roof to provide wind protection for a common amenity space. With an emphasis on building height and slenderness, the building dissolves at key locations to offer a sense of lightness.
