Granite Properties and Gables Residential have teamed up for a $200 million commercial and residential project in Dallas’ Uptown district. Situated on over just two acres, this project will consist of two towers: Granite Properties’ Class AA Office Tower and a high-rise apartment building by Gables Residential. The exterior of the buildings will feature concrete and stone with aluminum finishes.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of these dual towers is the convergence of the two towers on the seventh floor via a one-acre, beautifully landscaped haven. Called the amenity deck, this urban oasis boasts a 4,000 square foot fitness center, an outdoor, infinity-edge swimming pool and a gorgeous, park-like setting which overlooks Victory Park and downtown.
