Construction is about to start on a centerpiece tower in Dallas’ Victory Park project.

The 39-story skyscraper will be one of the tallest Dallas buildings outside of downtown.

Houston-based developer Hines will build the apartment tower across the street from the American Airlines Center arena next to the W Hotel. The Olive Street development site is one of the last vacant tracts in the 75-acre Victory Park development.

Called The Victor, the almost 500,000-square-foot high-rise project will have 344 luxury apartments.
