The bricks are being laid on the perimeter.  My office building is just to the west of this site so I suppose a QT will be convenient in filling up the tank.  But I'm not looking forward to the increased traffic.

 

I don't see that corner becoming any more or less busy than it already is.

 

I actually think it will be busier... especially with cars going in and out of the location.  Right now there is no reason to stop at that intersection.  I'm also afraid that many homeless people will be congregating here like they do at the gas station catty corner to this.

I'll reserve my judgement based on whether or not they deliver what was originally shown in that rendering, where it would be an urban format store with a street presence in addition to the entrances from the parking lot. I think if the finished product really is sort of a hybrid between a city corner store and a gas station then it will be worth it.

One of my worst drive by shots to-date but you can see some of the progress at QT:

Also, I was at a QT in Arlington on Division St. and this is one of my concerns for the FW QT.  Me and the Caddy are stuck behind this Explorer because he's waiting for a break in the left turn lane on Division to slip out and go south on Bowen.  Pretty frustrating considering the right lane was wide open for us to pull out.  This is going to be an issue at the one downtown, that and people trying to make a southbound left across Henderson from the gas station....mark my words.

Taken last weekend. You can see the dynamics of this soon-to-be very busy intersection.

I have been watching this progress when going to take photographs of Deco 969.  I have also taken a few photographs of this project.

What architectural style is that? It has an industrial factory feel about it. I dont mind that color of brick.

Almost done.  That little extra part of the wall facing south is sort of a strange design.  The rest of it looks not terrible for a gas station.

Handsome little building. Looks like it should open just about any day now.

They did do a nice job with it. I wish more gas stations would do this, even in more suburban settings. I guess one downside is maybe gas stations would feel even less safe if the building is sort of blocking in the gas pumps area.

The QuikTrip at Henderson and Lancaster is finally open.  They are selling Regular Unleaded gas at $2.999 per gallon.  I went inside and it is very nice.  Most of the interior is the double height space.  A non-retail mezzanine runs around the exterior of the building.  The layout of the convenience store is radically different from any of the other QTs in the city.

Theres a really cool balcony all the way around the interior but was told its just decorative/ non-functional. Could have fooled me.
Gas is $2.85 now.

I'm very appreciative for QT building an aesthetically pleasing store at this high-profile location.

Overall, I'm pleased with the design of the building and the location of the gas pumps away from the main intersection.  You have to admit that this is a very unique design for a large chain, and it shows that large chains can build to urban design standards.  I do realize that a gas station/convenience store is more suburban in nature, but the building is well done.  Also, I really like the two story interior.  It really opens up the sales floor and makes that rather unique, as well.

I agree.  There's a lot of little and not so little details they very easily could have scrapped in the design process but they didn't.  Also, the site is very inviting, it makes you feel like you're on the doorstep to downtown, you can look up from the parking lot and see most of downtown especially Burnett Plaza is right there in front of you.  I noted several FWPD officers hanging out, it didn't appear they were responding to a call there but just huddling up as a meeting place coming and going.  There's a heavily armed security roaming the facility too.  We asked the person working the counter if there had been any problems so far and said there hadn't been other than some people stealing stuff but you see that all over the place, not just here.  I agree that it is nice the gas pumps are kind of off the the side, I really don't like the vibe at most of these bigger gas stations where you feel like you're going to get run over walking to and from the pumps to the store.  

 

I didn't get a very good drive-by shot, but this stairway up to the roof was a really cool touch.  I'm not even sure what's over on this side of the store, maybe some offices but it appears there's some kind of interstitial space between the glass and the interior walls, it certainly has a firehouse feel to it with the brick and red paint accents, high ceilings and archway opening.
