Omni Rising – A Video By "Hawkeye" Louis
By: Kevin Buchanan
After Montgomery Plaza was redeveloped, we featured a video here showcasing the work done to the historic Montgomery Ward building over the course of its redevelopment. It was a popular entry and a very nifty video.
Now, its creator has returned with another Fort Worth architectural video. Mark “Hawkeye” Louis, morning show host of Big 96.3 KSCS, has created a brief (under 30 second) video showcasing the construction of the newly opened Omni Hotel in Downtown. It’ll be premiering Thursday at KSCS’s web site, but Hawkeye has graciously allowed us to give you a sneak peek at it here at Fort Worthology. Enjoy – and thanks again to Mark “Hawkeye” Louis for another very cool Fort Worth architecture video.
I guess I didn’t realize this was Ft. Worth’s tallest building. Nice work!
The Omni is not FW’s tallest building. That honor still belongs to Burnett Plaza, unfortunatley.
No, that information at the beginning is very incorrect. The Omni is somewhere around Fort Worth’s fifth or sixth tallest building, and is surpassed in overall height by Burnett Plaza by 120 feet. I do not know where this guy got his information, but honestly, if you just LOOK at Downtown Fort Worth it becomes quite obvious that there are more than a couple buildings that easily outreach the Omni. While the hotel is one of the best looking skyscrapers, it’s not the tallest.
