was renamed Tower at Cityplace. In 2008 UCR Urban proposed new retail development on the ground sites previously reserved for mid rise office towers. Design Costing almost $300 million for construction and improvements, the 42-story Cityplace skyscraper was the most expensive office project ever built in Dallas. Constructed as an elaborate corporate headquarters, the lower floors were devoted to facilities not commonly found in multitenant buildings. The ground floor contains a conference center with a 175-seat auditorium, a large cafeteria and a fitness center. There are seven, 5-story atrium lobbies spaced throughout the tower with glass windows at each end. This unique design provides clear views of downtown and East Dallas, but limits floor space on each level. The second and third floors, along with a basement-level concourse, were built with space for retail tenants. Below the tower is a 3,400-car underground parking garage, one of the largest in the region. The façade of the building is of Brazilian red granite, and the first four floors are finished in pink and white marble, imported wood paneling and decorative tile. Elevators are lined with brass, polished wood and stone, and cut mirrors. Tenants Dean Foods Lone Star Funds Onsite businesses Subway and Larry North Fitness are no longer businesses in Cityplace.
