Yes, I believe we will see a impact skyscraper in Fort Worth; but when it makes economic sense.

 

This speculative project that Perot is planning to build seems somewhat ahead of the actual demand in downtown Dallas if in fact the overall downtown market in Dallas is treading water.  Uptown has become the new downtown Dallas; and even though it is growing rapidly, that growth is contributing to the hollowing out of the "old" downtown by placing pressure upon some of the older skyscrapers. 

 

Perot will probably make money with this project, however, it will come at the expense of many current properties who are searching for tenants.  You have undoubtedly seen this effect at work with the decline of shopping centers like Seminary, Valley View and Six Flags as newer, shiner malls open.
