Architecturally and Historically Significant Homes in Downtown Dallas

Dallas has become the most economically solid city in the country. The city is fortunate to have a good city manager in a city manager form of government, an aesthetically driven city, generous philanthropists who are fully engaged in the future of Dallas, and a business environment that attracts Fortune 100 companies to move to Dallas and entrepreneurs and developers to invest in Dallas ensures Dallas survives.

For several decades downtown Dallas was quietly being abandoned. The only bright spot in the 1970s was Ray Hunt building Reunion Tower. In the 1980s, spectacular office buildings were being erected but downtown residences and retail were nearly non-existent. The hopes, plans, and vision for downtown Dallas is coming to fruition in the 21st century. Now residential modern highrises line the skyscape and modern performance halls and museums anchor the Arts District, benefiting the 5,000 residents living downtown.

Downtown Dallas has once again emerged as a prestigious destination point. There is nothing chimerical about downtown Dallas becoming a vibrant city center. Over the next decade projects will be finished that will transform Dallas beyond our imagination.

Now luxury residences in architecturally significant highrises are an integral part of Dallas, complementing the Arts District and business district. Part-time residents of Dallas and those selling their homes in Highland Park, Preston Hollow and Turtle Creek are the homebuyers in downtown Dallas.

Life in Downtown Dallas

Visiting the Dallas Mayor at City Hall

Riding the elevator up to the fifth floor office to visit Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, I realized he was the tenth mayor that I had personally met with, most of them at some point at their Mayor’s Office at City Hall. When I arrived on the fifth floor, there was a row of photographs of every past Dallas mayor. These images brought back memories of my first visit to Mayor Robert Folsom’s office and my visit to the mayor’s office when Starke Taylor was mayor. It was fun to see in Mayor Taylor’s office a 12-inch walnut spool of copper wire with two tin cans at the respective end of the wire that had been presented to him when he presided over a Restoration House of the Year Award on his first day in office. This was given to him as a hotline to the neighborhoods of East Dallas. Looking at the pictures on the wall made me recall many of the conversations I had with each of these mayors in their office. It was a treat to meet Mayor Eric Johnson in his office, as I so admire how he has continued to build on the success of the previous mayors. Under his leadership, Dallas has never been stronger. There has also been much written recently about the I.M. Pei designed-City Hall building. It was fun to see the city from the balcony that I.M. Pei designed for the Dallas Mayor.

Power Station
