Yes, only Cityplace Tower was built. It was torn down for that 130 acre development. The crash in the 80s killed the rest of the project. Central Expressway rebuild wasn’t completed until like the late 90s or early 2000.

Original master plan of Cityplace, with its twin towers and mid-rise buildings at the base.

^ I don't know that I've ever seen the original plans for that area. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Easy to imagine that having become a popular drone photography spot nowadays, with downtown wedged between the cityplace twin towers and 75 flowing beneath it like it's River Anduin passing through the gates of Argonath in lord of the rings.

The twin towers were suppose to be a gateway into downtown.

There’s like 2 other planned projects on Field St. Hopefully, one of those projects actually starts.

A monster boom is taking shape in Dallas’ Uptown and Turtle Creek areas
Twenty major real estate developments are underway or proposed near Dallas’ Uptown and Turtle Creek areas.

The area north of downtown Dallas that includes Uptown, Victory Park and Turtle Creek is seeing an unprecedented building boom.

More than $2 billion in buildings are on the way in almost two dozen major projects. Some of the largest developments include major employment centers for Goldman Sachs and Bank of America.

At the same time, developers are working on high-rise residential buildings for both renters and buyers.

19 high-rise projects listed in the article (some with multiple buildings) and one mid-rise apartment with retail.

BTW

The Dallas Gateway project is still happening. It’s suppose to have 3 towers with the tallest being 50 stories. High interest rates slowed it down

Here’s a recent podcast about the project from Dec 2023. It gives further details

689 ft Residential Tower on the way in Dallas? I’m gonna pause my excitement to make sure it’s actually true. But here’s the article

Hines eyes $150M apartment tower in Dallas’ Victory Park
Project to bring 497 units to area near Goldman Sachs office campus

After architecture firm Munoz + Albin jumped the gun unveiling Hines’ plan for an apartment tower in Victory Park, the Houston heavyweight is ready to make its mark on the neighborhood.

An affiliate of Hines filed plans to build a 497-unit building and an eight-level parking garage, at 2371 Victory Avenue, the Dallas Business Journal reported. The Dallas City Plan Commission is scheduled to approve the 28-story project as part of its consent agenda Thursday.

The development was previously reported as having 23 stories, but the plan commission request is for 28 floors.

The site, along Stemmons Freeway, just south of the American Airlines Center, is a surface parking lot. The planned apartment building would rise 689 feet and span over 128,000 square feet.

Also……..

35-story residential tower to rise along Dallas’ Pearl Street
A Swiss firm will get underway with a residential high rise between Dallas’ central business district and the Arts District later this year.

Swiss investment management firm Empira Group plans to move ahead with a residential high-rise near Plaza of the Americas in downtown Dallas.

The firm’s plans include 370 market-rate apartments with studio and one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts and balconies. The 35-story high-rise will also have eight penthouses with panoramic views of the city.

For amenities, the tower’s ninth floor will include a pool, fitness center, co-working area, makers studio and resident’s lounge.

The property will feature 8,660 square feet of ground-floor retail space, along with 515 parking spaces across a seven-level parking garage.

Empira plans to begin construction later this year on the more-than-one-acre site at 711 N. Pearl St., nestled between Dallas’ central business district and the Dallas Arts District. It is across the street from a DART rail stop.

The firm expects the apartment tower to be completed in 2026. It unveiled new renderings of the project this week.

Yes, a pause in the excitement is a good idea. I wish real estate reporters would pay closer attention to what they write. 689 feet for a 28-story building would be an average of 24.6 feet per floor! I suspect the 689' might be the total height, including the site elevation (feet above sea level).

That's a good-looking tower. I hope it goes forward as rendered.

Found the site plan. It says the building height is 689 ft. It probably is the height plus elevation or perhaps it has a spire?? Maybe it’s a typo?

That site plan says it's only 23-stories in a couple of places. But it also says 497 units which would be more in line with a near 700' tower.

[Dale]

A highrise in the CBD ??? *falls out of chair*

[Green Country]

Kinda strange. Something's not adding up. Is it 28 stories as shown in the plan commission staff presentation or is it 23 stories as shown on the site plan (which is also part of the staff presentation)? Is it really going to have 497 units, or is that another typo (or is that a maximum ask from the planning commission)? 497 apartments does seem like a lot to pack into a 23- or 28-story building. On the other hand, there is not really any reason to think having 497 units would require it to be nearly 700' tall. See for example, the Paseo apartment tower under construction in Austin -- 557 units and 570 feet tall.

[Dallaz]

I’m confused myself. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I watch the CPC meeting.

[Zapatan]

Nice, exciting news.

Dallas needs to fill in a lot before getting more vertical which is exactly what's happening.

I think the 497 units will be the tower whether 23 or 28 floors and the many units that will wrap around the garage. It's a decent sized lot that was originally slated for an office development, so it's not just the tower. It's essentially a tower and midrise.
