- Here lie the remains of a Dallas skyscraper that was never built
- More than 30 years ago, when developers started the huge Cityplace project just north of downtown, they envisioned two 42-story towers as the centerpiece of the new urban center. Unfortunately, the building boom went bust before the first tower was even finished. Piled in that yard south of town is all the finely cut stone that was to cover a second Cityplace skyscraper.
- “For every piece of granite you see on the first tower, there was another one made for the second tower,” said Neal Sleeper, president of Cityplace Co.
- Our wedding reception and my first job out of college were inside Cityplace. The first two months or so working in that building were mind blowing for this country boy. I was in awe of the four underground parking garages which went ten floors and just how fancy and luxurious the building felt. It’s amazing there’s enough of that granite to build a 42-story twin and it’s just been laying around in a field.
