Mosaic

Mosaic was a full city block project consisting of a vacant 21-story building, 33-story building, and 8-story parking structure totaling over 1.1 million SF originally built in 1952 and 1960 for Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company’s headquarters. This property posed a design challenge for Hamilton as no other Mid-Century Modern buildings with their large floor plates had been converted to loft residential, at least in the Dallas area. The project, completed in December 2007 at a cost of $107 million, consists of 440 loft units, 19,000 SF of retail, and 660 structured parking stalls. Its zero edge pool with dive-in theatre movie screens set the standard for such amenities. The previous owner, TXU, had a relationship with Hamilton that started with Dallas Power & Light and led in turn to Mosaic, one of downtown Dallas’ first TODs (Transportation Oriented Developments) that happily exploited the adjacent light rail line just across the street from DART headquarters.
