The new hospital is scheduled to be completed in 2014 and is the largest hospital construction project in America. The facility will encompass 2.5 million square feet with 862 beds, adding desperately needed space particularly in critical areas such as the emergency room, operating room and the burn and neonatal intensive care units.

Structures in the 1700 block of San Jacinto Street were imploded to free up about 600,000 square feet of space for the church's new $115 million campus, featuring a 3,000-seat worship center.

While the leveled buildings had historic value, First Baptist is making history of its own by engaging in the largest-ever expansion by a Protestant church.

The upgrades are a welcome change for the church, which was founded in 1868.

Constructing futures through financial scholarships for the children of our fallen industry partners

The building's foundation required two separate mat pours that involved 21,500 cubic yards of concrete poured over the span of two days.  If research holds true, its the biggest such project ever in Texas and only the second largest in the nation behind the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.

The project will contain 25,000 square feet of retail space, a 2,200 seat theatre for the Austin City Limits studio. Austin City Limits currently has a facility north of downtown on the UT Campus which can hold 320 seats.
The project will include 250 luxury hotel rooms and 196 condominiums.  It will also be the new home of the Austin Children's Museum. The new facility will have 30,000 square feet, 10,000 square feet more than its current home.
There will be a 30 foot wide television screen over the plaza which will show live broadcasts of Austin City Limits.
The project will feature a 10,000 square foot public plaza on the east side of the building on the corner of Lavaca Street and West 2nd Street.
Originally proposed with 15 floors, the height was increased to 32 when a hotel came to the project.
This project is being planned where a proposal in the 1980s called for a new home in a 14-story central tower for the Austin City Hall Central Tower which was never built.  Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEBSl7bCBi8 for a time lapse video of the project.

"Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, the building will be constructed on a 4.7–acre site at the northwest corner of Woodall Rodgers Freeway and Field Street adjacent to Victory Park. The facility will include environmentally sustainable features and is envisioned as a dynamic environment with interactive displays and educational galleries.

The structure will complement the Museum’s existing Fair Park facilities and allow the Museum to better accomplish its mission to "inspire minds through nature and science" by showcasing a wider spectrum of its valuable collections, incorporating modern technology, hosting world–class traveling exhibitions, and expanding its educational programs. Upon completion, the state–of–the–art Museum is expected to help revitalize the economy in downtown Dallas."

"Built in 1930, this is the first major renovation to the stadium since the upper deck was added in 1956. Designed by HKS Sports & Entertainment Group, who most recently completed work on the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, the renovation greatly enhances the fan experience by improving stadium accessibility, seating and views of the playing field. The renovation consists of:

•Significantly upgraded and new concession stands for better access and reduced wait times
•Elevators and escalators to better facilitate stadium accessibility and crowd flow
•A new, raised seating bowl on the west and north end for enhanced field views
•Upgraded and additional men’s and women’s restrooms
•Suites, club seating and lounges on the west side of the stadium
•A new press box"

"The George W. Bush Presidential Center is a future complex that will include former President George W. Bush's presidential library and museum, the George W. Bush Policy Institute, and the offices of the George W. Bush Foundation. The facility will occupy roughly 25 acres on the campus of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in University Park, Texas. Groundbreaking took place on November 16, 2010. The construction of the center has been projected to cost $250 million. The completion and dedication of the facility is planned July 6, 2013, while opening is planned for September 11, 2013. At a planned 207,000 square feet (19,200 m2), on completion it will become the second-largest presidential library, behind only the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
The center will be a modern brick and limestone structure that complements the American Georgian character of the SMU campus. The building and landscape are designed to achieve LEED platinum certification and include numerous sustainable design strategies, including locally sourced building materials (several types of Texas limestone, stained pecan interior paneling), 20 percent recycled materials, solar hot water panels, native landscaping to reduce irrigation and a storm-water management system that conveys, cleanses and collects surface runoff and roof rainwater, and will provide 50 percent of the irrigation needed for the site."

The development includes campus residence halls wrapped around an 1,800-vehicle parking garage with street-level retail and office suites south of UTA Boulevard, between Pecan and Center streets. College Park also will include a new campus Welcome Center, a satellite campus police station and - in response to rising demand for on-campus housing - 81 new apartment units.

The project marks the largest partnership to date between The University of Texas at Arlington and the city of Arlington. The city has committed up to $18 million toward the parking structure, which will serve visitors to UT Arlington's 6,500-seat Special Events Center under construction immediately south of the College Park site as well as visitors to other downtown venues.

The events center, scheduled to open in late 2011, will be home to UT Arlington basketball and volleyball, but also the site of community events such as concerts and high school commencement ceremonies. College Park is expected to open in summer 2012.
