This site is right off the Stemmons freeway across the street from the Anatole Hilton at the entrance to the Design District.  The district is full of showrooms and galleries and is now developing as a residential neighborhood with pedestrian zones targeted for areas close to the Trinity river.  Several other hotels are in the vicinity, but more importantly the Parkland Hospital and medical epicenter of Dallas is adjacent, with a target audience of doctors and nurses to live in the tower.    The property is subject to a zoning change to MU3 allowing for a 270’ high residential tower standing on a commercial podium, with underground and above ground parking. The visibility from the freeway inspired a slight twist in the elegant tower, as it stands like a rock proudly looking at the Dallas skyline. 

MPA proposes a fine example of optimistic modernism with this graceful tower of 256 apartments standing in a community garden podium overlooking the water park of the Anatole Hilton Hotel.   The podium wraps around a central plaza, buzzing with life, with grocery store, restaurants and shops.
