As a Richardson resident, I am excited to see the transformation of its downtown area. I think it could have the potential to join the ranks of charming downtowns like Plano, McKinney, Carrollton, etc. Not the biggest project of the year by any stretch, but exciting times in my northern burb. One o...

Curious how two reporters look at the same filings and one sees a 40-story building and the other sees a 42-story building (consisting of 15 floors of parking, 20 floors of office and a ground floor, which seems to only add up to 36). Has anyone found an FAA filing for Harwood XII? That is straight...

Austin55

That's a great looking cluster of buildings. Exciting stuff.

Austin55

Harwood feels like a well located suburban office tower park at street level.

Austin55

Beaut!

Austin55

These have always caught my eye when riding TRE. Always thought they looked pretty nice. There's so much potential too, with all the surface parking, to make a nice area.

Austin55

I was just thinking that Main St. Richardson is underutilized a few days ago, glad to see something is planned!

Austin55

I'm loving this, it's pairing up nicely with FP.

Austin55

Back up again?

Except for that ginormous parking deck that looks pretty nice.

Austin55

Jimmy John's not far away either

Austin55

Damn, this is really going to be pretty.

Austin55

TEXRail's EMF would probably be easier

Austin55

I watched the most recent presentation which mentions using the TRE maintance facility for CB. How would the CB trains get there?

Austin55

Nice! It's a shame that lot has been so underutilized for as long as it has.

And perhaps direct aerial service to DFW

Russell Laughlin @HillwoodDevelop at #NTTS2018 says test flights of #UberElevate will begin in #DFW in 2020. DFW Airport to Frisco Station.

The masterplan calls for several more wrap apartments and 7-9 floor office and hotel buildings.

Lighting looks fantastic. I was most excited for the outlining, but the floodlights are what really pull it together. Excellent stuff. Here's some dets on the plaza.

Austin55

There is a lot of blue in the skyline lately. Hunt, Thanksgiving, Lincoln Plaza, whatever the Omni is doing, and now ATT. Also all those blue lights on top of the streetlights around the new bridges. It's especially noticeable from the air.

Austin55

Atlanta definitely seems to be the front runner right now based on the rumors. I think that is great news for Dallas though, as Dallas could put up tough competition to Atlanta. Nothing is decided yet.

[quote="Tivo_Kenevil"]This is lame. The hall of fame should be in Columbus. There's no history for the sport in Frisco. This should go somewhere where the community has a passion for the game. Of all the places in the USA, where this could've gone ....IT'S NOT FRISCO,TX. /quote] Sort of de...

Should get going April 2018, complete May 2020.

I take it the chair and lights initiative success hasn't lived on?

It's been a while, but the last estimates I saw were around 1500 residents. Downtown Fort Worth has a fairly broad definition, but the 2016 State of Downtown listed the number at 7,616, and currently the downtown housing stock is on pace to double with current construction and proposals. A bunch mo...

Here's a good breakdown of all 4 proposed/u/c highrises in downtown.

Austin55

That's it but there is a lot missing.

Austin55

Arlington is ditching the MAX bus, replacing it with on-demand shuttles. An experiment, essentially.

Austin55

I thought I was losing it when I saw the display the other night. Looks like a reflection at first, and then I saw it moving. I was too far away (Victory Park) to make out anything it was saying though. Certainly an eye-catcher!

Austin55

Would really like to see it set up again. Perhaps the owner can back up copies from time to time.

Austin55

Just me or is a bunch of stuff gone?

Doubt it, check out Pelli's portfolio.

Goodness, that is an exciting one! Very eyecatching too, gotta think that could really put Dallas as a top contender. The idea of Pelli doing an entire area is awesome as well.

Did anyone talk about 400 S Hall yet? Looks like a 5 story garage wrapped apartment is being planned there. 336 units. HLR Architects.

Austin55

I see that construction permits have been filed, with an expected start of October (take that with a grain of salt though as it doesnt always come true)

Austin55

Are the existing apartments at 4805 Mckinney on google maps still there? Seems a 5 story, GFF designed project is proposed for that site by Trinsic Residential. Called "The Hudson Apartments".

Austin55

They've been showing up around downtown Fort Worth now.

Garland looks like it's got very little in the way of empty land, nearly the entire place is single family. Dallas has huge swaths of industrial parks, and airport, the Trinity Floodplain and Forest etc etc. RE - Seattle, it is fantastic. And very well planned. The setting is nearly impossible to be...

Austin55

Is this of relevance to this thread?

It looks like this site, but I'm not super familiar with Dallas developments. Trying to catch myself up!

Austin55

I haven't seen much press on it, but it seems Air India wants to launch a Delhi-Dallas route sometime this year.

Those apartments do have decent density I'm sure, what has really always bothered me is the way they address Houston St, a fence with a parking lot behind. Bleck.

Insane to see how dense the area has gotten. Nothing but exciting. And that rooftop view down Lamar is a stunner.

Good catch to save that. Always rehost everything!

I really love the way it looks. I said over on SSP, Almost like Fountain Place's never built twin is finally coming along.

Austin55

Foster is probably my favorite architect ever, this is immensely exciting that this could happen. It does'nt seem like one of his stronger skyscraper designs, but I love it from those 2 renders.

Austin55

That does seem like a nice compliment to FP. The crown is interesting, lots of steel and glass, could be beautiful if well lit.

Make MCM great again!
