Congratulations to City Center
for being selected as our Feature Building this month!
City Center II and Chase Texas Tower are two premier buildings
which dominate the skyline of Ft. Worth, Texas. In addition
to their striking presence, they are also one of the region's most
technologically advanced properties. This issue highlights
some of the unique telecommunications amenities offered at this
property and the benefits these features bring to the tenants.
Also, we are tracking the adoption of the 2002 NEC by city and
state so you will know if your building falls under the new
abandoned cabling regulations. See
CRE Resources, below, for more information.

Feature Building:
City Center, Fort
Worth, Texas
City Center Development
Co., the 1.5 million square foot office towers spanning six blocks
of downtown Fort Worth, Texas, completed work on
an advanced
fiber-optic network in March of last year. This new network makes
City Center one of the region’s most technologically advanced
commercial properties.
City Center’s
telecommunications infrastructure is one of just a few of its
kind
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and is designed to carry City Center’s
technological capabilities 20 to 25 years into the future. The
new system |
 |
|
encompasses over 140 miles of new fiber optic lines and runs
throughout the 38-story City Center Tower II and 33-story Chase
Texas Tower. The state-of-the-art system was installed by
Southwestern Bell.
“This
new central fiber distribution system is yet another first-class
amenity for City Center tenants, giving them access -- at no cost --
to a fiber-optic distribution system as well as the most advanced
broadband capabilities available today,” said Bud Smith, project
manager for City Center Development Co. “We believe it will carry us
many years into the future with the ability to accommodate the most
sophisticated telecom services technology can provide.” (Read

Update: NEC
Rules on Abandoned Cabling
If you missed our article on abandoned cabling,
read it HERE.
Many owners and managers are concerned about the new NEC regulations
requiring removal of abandoned cabling from building risers and
plenum spaces. In response to this concern, CRE Partners is
compiling a master
list
of cities, states and other
municipalities with the status of
whether the 2002 NEChas been adopted into local building
codes.
To view the master list, visit our web site at http://www.crepartners.com/resources.html.
