My Take on The Tower
by Graham Stiles, The Stiles Group
The Tower is a symbol for Fort Worth. It sits right in the middle of Sundance Square, right in the middle of downtown, and it has a story that no other building in the city can match. In 2000, it took a direct hit from an F3 tornado. It was the largest high-rise ever struck directly by a tornado of that magnitude. The glass was blown out, the interior was destroyed, and the building sat exposed in the middle of downtown for almost three years while they tried to figure out how to tear it down without damaging the historic churches surrounding it. They even considered imploding it. But the more engineers looked at it, the more they realized the structure itself was completely fine. That's when the decision was made to convert it into residential condos, and Fort Worth got its first true high-rise condo tower.
I was on WFAA news for the 25th anniversary of that tornado. They interviewed me inside one of my listings on the west side of the building because you can literally look down West 7th and see the path the tornado traveled. That kind of history is part of what makes this building special. The lobby was recently refreshed with artwork that pays homage to the tornado, and they've updated the hallways as well. This building has always done a good job of keeping up with itself.
The Tower opened for reservations in 2005, and I had two buyers among the first 25 people in line. There was literally a line down the street outside the Bank One building to sign a reservation. There's always been strong interest in this building, and it's still one of the buildings where we get the most activity. At 37 stories, it remains the tallest residential tower in Fort Worth.
Who Lives at The Tower
The Tower tends to be the most attractive to our lock-and-leave buyers. I'm not sure there's a specific reason why, but I think it comes down to the combination of a great location, solid management, and a building that just works. HOA management is on site. The building has stayed very updated. They run two HOAs because the original plan was to sell the top 20 floors as condos and keep the lower floors as apartments. But they had so much success selling condos that they decided to sell out the entire building. The two HOAs have always worked well together.
The Tower Floor Plans
One of the things I really like about The Tower is how the floor plates work. Because this was originally an office building, the developers had the old elevator bays to work with, and that created some interesting layouts you wouldn't get in a ground-up residential tower. There are units as small as 780 square feet, and the small one-bedrooms go all the way up into the 20s in terms of floors. So even at a lower price point, you can get solid height and views.
The most common floor plan is a one-bedroom, one-bath with a den. Those are great units. The den area works well as a guest room or study, which gives you flexibility without paying for a full second bedroom. Those are available on nearly every floor. The floor plans aren't all the same as you go up, which keeps things interesting. I really like the way the layouts travel through the building. There's also a hugely popular 2 bedroom plan with a den. It may not have a window, but that den makes a big difference in everyday livability.
The Shell Penthouses
There are still unfinished shell penthouses available on the upper floors. These are large spaces (around 2,500 square feet and up) that were never built out and are being sold as blank canvases for a custom build. The challenge with those is the cost of construction on top of the purchase price, combined with the HOA dues, which are significant at that square footage. You're paying north of two dollars per square foot per month in HOA dues on those units. It's a commitment, but for the right buyer who wants to design their own home in the sky at the top of Fort Worth's tallest residential tower, the opportunity is there.
Location and Amenities
The location is awesome. You're in the center of Sundance Square with Fort Worth's best restaurants and entertainment right outside. Reata recently moved back into the ground floor, and there are several other dining options in the building's retail base. Parking is secure and private, located in an adjacent structure connected to the building by a secure underground walkway. The amenities are strong: a really nice fitness center, pool, outdoor sitting areas, grilling areas, and more. It's a building that delivers on the full-service downtown living experience, and it's been doing it longer than any other building in Fort Worth.
