The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) has signed a lease within the KPF-designed tower currently under construction in Uptown Dallas.
Rising 30 stories (445 feet), the Bank of America Tower at Parkside will become the tallest building in Uptown Dallas upon its completion. Designed to humanize the office typology, the building features a side-loaded core that opens floor plans to natural light on three sides, as well as landscaped balconies and terraces that extend the greenery of the neighboring Klyde Warren Park vertically through the tower.
The exchange’s headquarters, dubbed the Texas Market Center, will include executive offices, a Texas business museum, and a broadcast studio for the opening and closing of trading. The exchange will occupy multiple areas within the building, including ground-floor space and a sky lobby on the 12th floor—one of the tower’s signature amenity levels, which features four terraces, a coffee and cocktail bar, a conference center, meeting rooms, and an executive boardroom. TXSE is also seeking city approval for an electronic ticker to be installed on the building’s facade—28 feet above ground level, 10 feet tall, and wrapping around the corner of the building.
Dallas has emerged as a growing center of financial activity, and the tower is poised to continue that momentum. TXSE—which has raised $275 million from institutional backers including Goldman Sachs and Bank of America—received SEC approval to begin operations last fall and aims to compete with the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
