What We’ve Heard

Community members raised concerns about the environmental impacts of extensive glass façades, citing the site’s history and migratory location, including comments urging that bird-friendly glass be treated as a priority.

Because Dallas sits on a major migratory route, the design prioritizes environmental stewardship by using bird-friendly glass with subtle visible patterns that birds can see, reducing collisions while preserving natural light and transparency for the community.
