Dallas, Texas, may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of skyscrapers, but the city has been making strides in developing soaring additions to its downtown skyline. We've rounded up three of the tallest proposed skyscrapers in the city right now to take a look at how future development could look in Dallas if things pick up.
3. 2850 Harwood
The third tallest proposed skyscraper in Dallas is a AA office tower designed by Dallas-based architecture firm HDF. The development, dubbed 2850 Harwood, would feature 9000 square feet of retail and restaurant space with patio seating. Developed by Harwood International, the top floors of the building would contain 10,000 square feet of luxury penthouses and private roof gardens that provide spectacular views of Dallas' uptown and downtown areas. 226,000 square feet of rentable office space would be offered in the development, which would have a total of 22 floors. This building would have four designated levels of green space on the 10th, 16th, and 17th storeys. Additionally, for those who enjoy green spaces and nature walks, Katy Trail is easily accessible from the site. Located in the Harwood District of Dallas, various attractions and hotels are scattered in walking distance of 2850 Harwood, including the American Airlines Sports Center, Woodall Rodgers Deck Park, Perot Museum, the Arts District, and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The building resembles three blocks of blue glass separated by recessed cushions of green space with smaller blocks of glass in between the blocks.
2. Park District
The second tallest proposed building in Dallas will be part of a joint development north of Klyde Warren Park in the city's downtown core. Under the umbrella name Park District, the development includes a 32-storey residential tower with 255 units and a smaller 19-storey office tower. Developer Trammel Crow Co. is partnering with Metropolitan Life Insurance to develop the properties, which are expected to bring more investors to the central city area of Dallas, as Klyde Warren Park is increasing real estate values in the area. The largest development in downtown and uptown Dallas, the buildings would include 500,000 square feet of office space — a Dallas high - and 22,000 square feet of retail space. Amenity-rich, the residential building includes features such as a green roof and pool deck as well as dining courts and park access. The sleek dark glass residential and retail tower and the shorter but wider dark glass office tower were designed by architect James Burnett and are both seated on a three-acre site.
1. Flora Lofts
Sited at Flora Street and Olive Street near the Nasher Art Gallery and Museum Tower, Flora Lofts is the tallest proposed tower in Dallas right now. Soaring to 460 feet, Flora Lofts would house a total of 409 apartment units and 12,000 square feet of retail space located on the ground floor along Olive Street. The podium would offer 39 affordable housing units that developers are referring to as Artist's lofts, with 370 luxury apartments in the tower that sits diagonally atop the podium. Developed by METROarts Properties Ltd. and ZOM Holdings USA and designed by Oglesby Green Architects, the project is a joint effort to increase the population density and development of the Arts District in Dallas. The white masonry exterior of the building along with its recessed windows and diagonal tower placement upon the podium add a unique design to the growing district.
