Rick Cavenaugh still remembers the day he and his business partner acquired the former Hard Rock site to develop the wavy-designed building, One Uptown.

"We knew we wanted the site for this project," he added. "We got it going and it was a very quick decision."
It was that parcel of land — which sits at an odd parallelogram angle on the corner of McKinney Avenue and Routh Street — that inspired the wavy exterior design of One Uptown, which has officially reached its uppermost vertical point that was solidified by a topping out ceremony Thursday.
"We didn't want just a square box on the corner, but one with a graceful flow that goes up the building," Cavenaugh told the DBJ. "It makes for a strong statement of the building, which the site demanded the structure to be."

Style & Grace, which is an affiliated concept with Fat Rabbit across the street, will have an outdoor patio facing McKinney Avenue and Routh Street, with a second-floor bar area that includes a glass-bottomed pool that sits above the entrance.
Fogo de Chao will have an entrance between Style & Grace and the lobby of the residential tower.

The glass facade tower's wavy design will be further augmented by programmable LED lighting that is designed on every floor, in slightly different places, of the building, giving the illusion of movement.

The luxury apartments are expected to hit the market at $3 per square foot, with penthouse units on the 17th, 18th and 19th floor expected to lease for a premium.
