Energy Tower, Skyscraper project in Midland, Texas.
The Energy Tower is a skyscraper project in Midland designed as two separate towers featuring office and hotel uses. The complex was planned to include workspace, guest accommodations, and retail areas supported by multiple elevators and underground parking levels.
The project began in 2013 when Energy Related Properties started negotiating with Midland city officials for development. The original single-tower design evolved into a two-tower layout in response to community concerns about height and urban impact.
The building plans changed from a single tower to a two-tower design following community feedback regarding the structure's height and urban impact.
The development was planned to feature numerous elevators and multiple basement levels for parking to serve visitors and tenants efficiently. The infrastructure was designed to handle vertical transportation and vehicle storage needs in an urban setting.
The original construction budget decreased from 500 million to 300 million dollars when the design was split into separate office and hotel structures. This significant budget reduction showed how the redesign brought both financial and architectural benefits to the overall development.
