In the last few decades, the suburbs of Dallas, Texas have taken the spotlight off of downtown and the area has fallen into disrepair. Businesses were shut down or moved to outlying areas and many of the people living downtown moved as well. More recently, revitalization has become a priority for the people of Dallas and downtown has attempted to return to its roots of luxury living, gourmet food, and fabulous shopping.
Since it was constructed in 1904, the Wilson Building has been a landmark in downtown Dallas. It was the tallest building in Dallas from 1904 to 1909 and has had many notable tenants, including being the first home of the Titche-Goettinger Department Store and the main store of the H. L. Green Variety Store until 1997. The plan for this Southern landmark building is to make it a destination in downtown Dallas by offering a luxurious hotel, as well as glamorous penthouse condominiums, gourmet restaurants, and fantastic shopping. There are many new hotels in the downtown area, but none offer all of these amenities in one place – and none in such a historic atmosphere. Residents and visitors, no matter where their home is, will enjoy the services and attractions offered by the Wilson. Dallas, as one of the most intriguing cities in the United States, deserves a multi-use building that reflects the worldwide appreciation a city of its stature has earned.
