Construction on The Carnegie, the new 16-story Class A office tower in Sundance Square, is just about complete. I saw a tenant moving in recently, most likely EOG Resources. The building’s traditional design is turning out very well indeed, in my opinion. Now, some detail shots.
I love the building’s detailing on the lower floors here. Very grand and engaging.

All in all, a gorgeous “fabric” building, by which I mean a building that respects context and serves as a part of the urban fabric rather than trying to be a solipsistic, self-indulgent “look at me” type of building. As it should be. Its traditional design and beautiful detailwork should help promote more pedestrian activity in its area as well. A big success as far as I’m concerned.
The Carnegie is the work of David M. Scwharz Architects, who have previously designed the neighboring Fort Worth Central Library, 3rd Street Garage, and Chase Bank Building, as well as the Bass Performance Hall, Sundance West, the Palace Theater/Barnes & Noble block, the Sundance Theater, the Virtuoso Building, the Maddox-Muse Center, the Tarrant County Family Law Center, the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, and more.
This is a beautiful building. Do we know any sort of retail tenant for all these frontage spots? It would be wonderful if we could get some clothing stores in this building such as Banana Republic, Gap, Express, or J Crew to appeal to the working demographic as well as visitors. The building seems it would go to waste if we didn’t have some type of clothing options downtown.
That’s disgusting and boring. I wish it was more modern. [/typical schwartz hater]
Great photos Kevin. Thanks.
