Presence and vision
When we conceived the CitySquare Opportunity Center, I never imagined it would share such a direct, penetrating view of our city.
Amazing!
Ready for late spring, early summer 2013!

Opportunity Center Update!
Check out the video below to get a feel for CitySquare's new Opportunity Center!
We're on course to open in late spring 2013.
Equally important is the "feel" you'll get of the surrounding neighborhood. The second video spotlights "the Porch" at the corner and the service station whose owners have been so kind to all of us and to our homeless friends and neighbors.

More vertical progress (reprise)
CitySquare's new Opportunity Center is exploding out of the ground, literally! It's fun watching the progress while visiting with neighbors who stay in the area. The new center will focus on employment. At the same time, the project has provided jobs for scores of workers.
Drop by the project at Malcolm X Blvd. and I-30 to see the progress.

Valued partner: Omniplan
When we set about developing CitySquare's new Opportunity Center, we made a quality-control decision. We wanted a first class design team. As a result, we chose Omniplan as our architects. The illustration below reflects the quality of their work. The developments pictured here are located in Los Angeles area.

We believe South Dallas/Fair Park deserves beauty, utility and everything positive!

From the air. . .
So, here's a "bird's eye view" of the goings on at CitySquare's new Opportunity Center at the corner of I-30 and Malcolm X Boulevard!
The blue trucks are drilling rigs brought in to drill 109 wells that extend 250 feet into the earth as a part of our very "green" geothermal H/VAC system.
Progress is fun to watch.
Want a piece of the action?
Lots of great naming opportunities at all fund levels.
Just give me a call or shoot me a note here!

Rain not slowing us down!
This video was shot last Thursday morning after the all night rain. Sun reappeared and the guys from ConReal hit it again with water pumps and big Cats!
Oh, and congratulations Dan Hopkins and Happy Birthday! You are now officially as old as rocks!

Dallas Business Journal spotlights new "Opportunity Center"
CitySquare celebrates construction launch
Dallas Business Journal by Bill Hethcock, Staff Writer
Date: Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 1:31pm CST
Public officials including Mayor Mike Rawlings and other project supporters will get a bus tour of the site at a breakfast Thursday to celebrate the start of construction.
The 52,000-square-foot campus will include a food distribution center; a teaching and production kitchen; a wellness center; and a large employment training center that will house new offices for Workforce Solutions of Greater Dallas and CitySquare’s WorkPaths employment training department. The center also will house the AmeriCorps headquarters/offices and a staging area for a summer and after-school lunch program funded by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
The services are all under one roof with easy access by Dallas Area Rapid Transit Dallas Area Rapid Transit.
The opportunity center, scheduled to open in 2013, will serve low-income residents of East and South Dallas. The center has been a dream of CitySquare’s President and CEO Larry James, a longtime leader in efforts to end poverty in the heart of Dallas.
"The opportunity center will create both enhanced synergy among a vital group of nonprofit partners and convenience of access for the neighbors who come to us seeking to take positive, proactive steps toward a better, more stable life for themselves and their families," James said.
About half of the $12.5 million in development funds for the facility has already been raised, and a public fund-raising campaign is under way.
Omniplan provided the architectural design and Con-Real serves as general contractor for the Opportunity Center.

Pictured below are two options for signage on a large, ClearChannel billboard located at the edge of our property where we are constructing the new CitySquare "Opportunity Center."
The billboards have been provided at a great price and point to our new development.
Here's the question: which one do you like the best and why? Your responses will help us make our selection!
