GDA Architects

This month GDA celebrates its 40th year anniversary. Looking back on the last 4 decades of work, we have been blessed and accomplished more than one can ever dream of. It all started in a 20’x20’ windowless office, with 5 people working on a 15,000 sf strip mall. Today, our portfolio includes some of the tallest and most iconic buildings in Texas and beyond. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has ever been part of the GDA family (past / current staff, consultants, and clients) for all of their contributions, opportunities, and trust. Here is a big cheers to you all, for being a part of success and allowing us to continue to do what we love.

Our Symphony Park phase 2 looking sharp !

Deco 969 is the first residential tower built in Fort Worth in the last 20 years and is the city’s first apartment tower. The project’s success has acted as a beacon for the city and has ushered in a period of renewed interest in residential development in downtown Fort Worth. The 27-story, 302-unit mixed-use tower sits on three-quarters of a block across the intersection from the convention center, and a short walk away from both Sundance Square and Fort Worth Central Station. A stone colonnade and a series of canopies along the base of the tower tie the ground-level amenities and 8,000 sf of restaurant space to the vibrant urban fabric of the city, providing an eloquent termination point for the entertainment strip.  Deco 969’s design pulls from the rich history of Art Deco in Fort Worth, blending it with modern elements to create a transitional expression that captures the soul of the city. The limestone colonnade at the street level joins at the entry with a vertical expression of stone and steel that rises past the more subdued modern elements of the tower to capture 4 floors of penthouse units at the top of the building, looking down over the pool and fitness lawn on the 24th and 25th floors. A layered stone expression surrounds the main entry, rising 7 floors to surround a 5-floor tall art piece facing the convention center and the Kennedy Memorial across the street.  For more project info: https://lnkd.in/gRRUFcAF https://deco969.com/ Glen Morgenweck Steven McGann Kevin Solodar

The drone video showcases how magnificent this project / site truly is. It all started with a few sketches on trace paper back in 2017…. Now 500’ + in the air !

With Deco’s impending opening in downtown Fort Worth, we are delighted to share that Oklahoma City-based Broadway 10 Bar & Chophouse will introduce its first Texas location as the anchor tenant on the ground floor of our 27-story mixed-use development. We are excited to see this contemporary culinary experience become a regular spot for residents and visitors of Sundance Square.   Scroll through these images for a preview of what patrons can expect at Broadway 10 and then read the full announcement at https://lnkd.in/gRB_i5ZT

Our Travis project is soaring into new heights as it has 3 levels to go before topping out. So proud of this tremendous project adding to the ATX skyline!
