About Harwood
Harwood is the vision of Harwood International – a niche real estate developer and value-add investor with offices around the globe in
Harwood began life with the highly-acclaimed Harwood International Center in Uptown Dallas, a four-building office complex which currently showcases more than one million square feet of premier class office and retail space set within a park-like campus with gardens and art-filled lobbies. Home to companies such as Rolex, Jones Day, K&L Gates, and Centex, Harwood will continue to grow in 17 phases to include over seven million square feet of condominium, office, retail, and residential development.
The newest addition to Harwood is Azure, a 31-story high rise which is the tallest condominium residence tower in Uptown Dallas and the first in Harwood. Designed by Vancouver-based James KM Cheng Architects Inc., Azure has received acclaim as being exemplary in environmental design and urban resort-style living. The 375-foot tower, built in stone with metal detailing and sheathed in blue-tinted glass, is highlighted by a striking blue light that illuminates the building façade. Azure will open in November 2007, introducing more than 156 families and residents to the Harwood “Walk to Life™” lifestyle. See www.azureliving.com.
