Comparing Transwestern’s Old Rendering to The Latest
Share News:
This was the proposed development Behind the Pink Wall at 220 residential units.
And this is the newest proposal and compromise — 165 units. Preston Tower and The Athena (where Steve Wolens and Laura Miller own a unit) look taller in comparison. Do you think this will make the homeowners who live near the Pink Wall happy? Again, Transwestern has agreed to keep the northern part of the development at three stories, the current zoning. In the second rendering, that would be the building to the left. The southern segment would be a four story tall complex that would require a zoning change, and Transwestern also wants to include in the zoning that the minimum apartment complex size is 1000 square feet.
As for the devoted traffic lane, if you look to the far right on the lower rendering, Transwestern would give TXDOT enough land to create a dedicated left hand turn lane from Preston onto Northwest Highway. That would help resident coming off of Averill Way and turning south. Residents turning north would have to be very, very cautious during peak traffic times. Remember, there will be more residents living there than there are currently, in a total of 36 units, but only 20 more units (so like 40 people more) than under current zoning.

That is a small compromise. It seems this is going forward no matter what. This is not a Democracy when it comes to Developers in Dallas, that is for sure. I assume this is the view from Preston, looking to the East? I think I dread the construction period leading up to this. Maybe if there is good retail and some cool restaurants, it will make Preston Center West finally get their act together and bring it up to date and add more parking? I never understand how that two-story lot can be SO full during the day.
