1999 McKinney, the new 24-story luxury residential loft high-rise located two blocks north of the new Nasher Sculpture Center, has been awarded the 2003 Golden Trowel Award for design excellence by the Texas Masonry Council. The award was recently presented to HKS Architects, the Dallas architectural firm responsible for the stunning stair-step design of 1999 McKinney, which is now 75% sold.
"CLB Partners is honored that the Texas Masonry Council has chosen 1999 McKinney as recipient of this prestigious award," said Ron Cibulka, project developer and partner with CLB. "We salute HKS for its superb architectural design of the building. We hear many positive comments from real estate agents as well as our buyers regarding the projects stair-step design. They also reference the beauty and durability of the all-brick exterior, as 1999 McKinney is the only new all-brick residential high-rise in Dallas."
"We were looking for projects with a good balance of design and craftmanship," said Kyle Montgomery, executive director, Texas Masonry Council. "The project was one of 20 significant entries from throughout the state of Texas. However, it won due to the teams ability to bring the clients vision to reality while providing distinctive architecture, expert craftsmanship and teamwork."
"The award acknowledges a job well done and a team effort by all involved," said Jay Waters, AIA, project manager, HKS, Inc., "the extent of the brick used on this 22-story building allowed designers the ability to provide a distinct level of detail in addition to meeting various related challenges."
