[edit] About
The building, which houses the corporate headquarters for 7-Eleven, has a pink Brazilian granite façade and sits on a 10-acre (40,500 m²) site that contains four retail sites and an underground parking garage. Cityplace Station, a DART light rail station is located beneath it with entrances on both side of the expressway. Construction costs for the building were upwards of US$300 million.[1]
[edit] History
The building was designed by Cossutta & Associates of New York. Completed in 1988, the tower was the first phase of Southland Corporation's (now 7-Eleven) 130-acre (526,000 m²) Cityplace development. A twin tower was originally planned across North Central Expressway, connected by a skybridge. After the Savings and Loan crisis and resulting real estate crash in Dallas, plans for finishing the development fell through. In 1989, Southland sold land on the west side of North Central Expressway to Cityplace, which today is home to the West Village.[1]
