BTW, at 925' this will be taller than anything in Dallas!!

Only two buildings in Houston will be slightly taller.

Taller than all but one building in California.

Only one building in Seattle taller and by 12 feet!


Truly a massive, tall building.

There's going to be a lot of Class A space available.

Not to rain on the parade, but what happens now to the occupancy rate of downtown?

Nothing - this is all owner occupied and doesn't get included in the vacancy rate. As for the space they are leaving. Apparently there are several companies ready to move into that space (American Fidelity).

As much as anything, this really raises the bar and sets the tone for things to come.

When it comes time to do Core to Shore, the convention center, a huge hotel, etc.... It's going to be darn hard to propose some half-arse fake stucco boxes. Expectations and standards have been officially raised!

I have been looking for a new office for my business for a year and there is a shortage of class A right now. I have a feeling if Devon's current space is good Class A it won't be on the market long. I also think Larry Nichols has put a lot of thought in to this subject and would not do anything to hurt the downtown market.

I just hope construction starts soon. The sooner it starts, the less time for things to fall thru.

That space won't be coming on the market for four years.

By that time, the excitement about downtown will be much stronger than even now and there shouldn't be any problem filling that space.

I suspect we'll see more buildings proposed before 2012.
