The Luminary
The Challenge
Located in the Historic West End District of Dallas, the Luminary is a beacon for companies who value innovation and top-flight amenities. Crescent Real Estate worked with architects at Corgan Associates to set a new bar for the District by offering sustainability, amazing views, and enhanced comfort and well-being for building occupants. Top priorities included ensuring ample daylight, glare control, and thermal comfort.
The Solution
The Luminary chose smart glass for the West End’s tallest and most innovative new office building. SageGlass LightZone® was selected to optimize daylight, outdoor views, and occupant comfort. LightZone® has three distinct zones within a single pane of glass that can tint independently to let in exactly the right amount of daylight where it’s wanted, when it’s needed. By reducing reliance on artificial lighting and minimizing heat gain, SageGlass also contributes to energy savings over time.
The Benefits
SageGlass does more than just optimize daylight, increase comfort, and improve energy efficiency at the Luminary. In a time when building technologies are advancing rapidly, Crescent realized that embracing smart glass would give them an edge. By positioning smart glass as a marketable amenity, Crescent now has more interested tenants vying for space at The Luminary than they do available units. That’s a good problem to have.
