Color rendering of the Carnegie released!

That’s right - a color rendering of The Carnegie, the new 16-story, 236-foot office/retail tower going up on 3rd between Taylor & Lamar in downtown, has been released! Click the thumbnail for a bigger view:

Our thoughts? We like it. The color of the rendering isn’t 100% true to life - the building will be buff brick with cast stone and limestone trim, like many classic Fort Worth buildings (Electric Building, Neil P., etc.), not so much a brown like in the rendering. It will match our city very well. It also looks to have a great ground floor with high pedestrian appeal, which is vital to a great urban space.

David Schwarz has designed another lovely downtown building, and we look forward to seeing it rise from the building site. We’ll keep you up-to-date on the Carnegie as it progresses.
