Sundance
West marks the first opportunity for downtown residential living in the
Downtown commercial center of Fort Worth.
This breakthrough building is the first stage of a three-phase project
aimed at revitalizing Fort Worth's urban core. The 12-story brick and limestone
structure combines luxury apartments, a 200-space underground parking garage,
retail and entertainment, providing tenants the possibility to meet many of
their needs under the same roof.
Gable
roofs, pediments, recessed balconies and architectural ornament all enhance the
residential ambience. Human scale and
detailing carefully weave together Victorian turn-of-the-century
characteristics and modernism to create a presence that is innovative yet
warmly familiar.
For
recreation, Sundance West offers the first downtown cinemas in Fort Worth. The 11-cinema complex is located above the
retail level, and features a four-story high lobby. Designed as a movie set cityscape with metal
girders, columns and trusses framing views of a distant urban skyline, the
lobbies recall the splendor and fantasy of early 20th century movie
palaces.
Sundance West contributes to the community visually by
bridging the gap between modern and traditional, small scale and large. Equally
important, it offers an opportunity to promote the revitalization of downtown
Fort Worth as a mature modern city serving all major needs.
