The legend begins December
1, 1954. Amid grand expectations and elaborate fanfare, the country’s
newest monolith — and the tallest building west of the Mississippi
— opens in Downtown Dallas. A marvel of engineering, the Republic
National Bank Building is wrapped in shimmering aluminum, adorned with a
signature four-pointed star, and topped with a rocket: a masterpiece of
Modernism that speaks to the opportunity of the day and optimism for the
future.
A half-century later this rising star continues to shine. A $75-million
renovation has brought Republic Center into the 21st century, endowing it
with the enhanced power, technology and amenities to propel today’s
businesses to their highest potential. Located on one of the largest contiguous
blocks of office and retail space in the Central Business District, Republic
Center is Downtown Dallas’ premier business address and an ideal location
to call home. From the depths of its elegant concourse to the heights of
its soaring towers with spectacular views, a DART rail stop at the front
door and extensive pedestrian tunnel system below, Republic Center is the
perfect place to work, to play and to live the New Republic. |
