A 35-story luxury hotel and condominium tower is rising in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. The one-million-square-foot project, encompassing 604 hotel rooms, 97 condominiums, and three levels of underground parking for 550 vehicles, is designed by the Dallas office of global architecture firm HOK.

Centrally located on two city blocks across the street from the HOK-designed Fort Worth Convention Center, the tower will feature wood and glass storefronts, similar to those found in early downtown businesses. The design features more than 40,000 square feet of banquet, meeting and pre-function spaces, including an 18,000-square-foot grand ballroom and a 10,000-square-foot junior ballroom on the second floor. A hotel spa and fitness center, as well as additional meeting rooms and breakout spaces, will be located on the third floor.

Twenty floors of up-scale condominiums, served by a separate fitness center, community room, and outdoor pool, begin on level 16, following 12 floors of hotel rooms. Each condo unit, about 2,000 square feet, includes its own balcony

“It’s been a while since a new tall building has been built in the city, so we are very proud to contribute to the Fort Worth skyline in a meaningful way,” says Steven Janeway, principal designer of HOK Dallas.
