UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2020: Check the end of this article for a new rendering of the 14th and Guadalupe project.
A 31-story office and retail building planned at the northwest corner of 14th and Guadalupe Streets by local developers Cypress Real Estate Advisors will raise the bar for its growing district in a very literal sense — with a height of 427 feet and 10 inches, the project will become the tallest downtown tower north of the Texas State Capitol.
City utility filings from this week indicate the as-yet-unnamed project, imagined atop a .59-acre tract currently occupied by a police union headquarters at 400 West 14th Street, will contain 239,710 square feet of office space along with 3,614 square feet of retail area on the ground floor, including an adjacent outdoor patio suitable for restaurant use facing the corner of 14th and Guadalupe Streets. It also contains 584 parking spaces in its podium section, which appears to be roughly 10 floors in height.
Those same recent utility filings provide our first glimpse at illustrations of the tower’s exterior design, courtesy of architecture firm GFF, though they honestly don’t give us the greatest idea of what the finished building will look like beyond its basic shape. See for yourself below:
We’ll need to get our hands on full 3D renderings of the building to really wrap our heads around its look, though you can see some balconies and other features in the illustrations above. Just consider these drawings the teaser for the real thing — which, if these documents are accurate, could break ground before the end of 2020.
The folks at Cypress already provided us with a comment confirming the project’s existence for yesterday’s article describing the basics of this tower plan, though these new and more detailed documents revealing its height and appearance unfortunately didn’t become available until after we published it — timing is everything, right?
UPDATE: We all appear to have overlooked a new view of the tower in the December 2019 newsletter of CLEAT, the police union organization operating on the property. According to an article in the Texas Police Star, CLEAT will receive a 15,000-square-foot new headquarters inside the tower, which in this coverage is described as rising 37 floors, not 31 as previously stated in earlier plans.
We can’t confirm that new information since the developers aren’t commenting, but this new glimpse of the building seems to track with what we saw in the earlier drawings in this article. We’ll hopefully get a better look soon — the newsletter states the tower is on track for opening in the summer of 2022.
