The Sinclair Building was built in 1929 and is on the National Register of Historic Buildings.
FORT WORTH—When complete, the Sanger Building will have more than 2,000 lights powered using Ethernet cables and thus will be dubbed the first intelligent building in Texas. In addition, Fort Worth is soon to be home to the first hotel, a Marriott Autograph (formerly the Sinclair Hotel), to use power over Ethernet/POE technology to power all of its lighting.
Developer Farukh Aslam, who is remodeling both buildings, is bringing innovative technology that has not yet been used in this area to help conserve energy use throughout the building.
