NewPark is an ambitious and exciting proposal, but they lose a little credibility when they say things like: "Any company thinking of moving to this region thinks of downtown Dallas first." If there is any truth to that, AT ALL, they apparently don't think much of downtown because few of ...

I was doing some pixel peeper level analysis of the KDC Park Heritage webcam (looking straight at AMC), and it seems like some dirt has been moved around post-winter storm...

I wish Dallas would go big in downtown with something not unlike Wilshire Grand in LA. Be great fun to have the tallest tower in Texas sitting downtown. Seriously. Wilshire Grand/ATX Fairmont on steroids (obviously with a twist), but I'd love to see a supertall with a spire (plus that 890 foot prop...

The 508 Young project is a disgrace! what they plan to do to the front of building and turn into a drive through is ridiculous. The Rock of truth won't be what ppl first see when the approach the building..but rather a valet service. So sad. George Dahl would be livid. This city doesn't know how to...

If thats 300 Pearl on the 2nd picture, then the other two towers are maybe 50 stories tall? :shock: Woulda been great if they had the rest of downtown in their model to get a good grasp on the big impact these builds could have on the skyline. Either way, exciting. :D I saw those while watching the...

Just dropping in to bump this up a bit. Been dreaming about an 800 footer overlooking Carpenter & the EQ (as well as Deep Ellum in the opposite direction).

Dream with me for a second y'all... In an IDEAL world, what style of architecture would you like to see on a tower of that size here?

Anyone have some info on this? We're nearing the end of Q1 2021, and haven't heard anything for awhile so... This thing scrapped, or do y'all still have faith?

I didn't know convention center expansion is back on the table. Developing Lot 206/Helipad with a welcoming, front door aesthetic will do wonders for the neighborhood; oriented toward the HSR Station, the butt end of the convention center becomes a major mixed use, LRT access point for the region. ...

The Zoning commission did not approve this last night mainly due to input from the anti urban anti density anti growth Oak Lawn Committee.

Do y’all think that development (hypothetical/future) along 121 will ever rival the impact/level of development along DNT, especially (for example) the Galleria area or Legacy?

undefinedprocess

Personally, I believe the stretch running from 121 to 75 will be filled with office and mixed use developments. Suburbs are in. If any area is poised to start taking relocations and expansions it's this one. So essentially, it’ll kinda be how DNT is from 635 to 121? Lol I think it’ll be a smaller s...
