I didn't see a thread or post about this project. Big Ellis County development could bring thousands of new homes https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2019/08/09/big-ellis-county-development-could-bring-thousands-of-new-homes/ https://assets.website-files.com/5da488b25ac6b06c2f29a2f2/5e67...

Another huge development has been proposed for Midlothian: Exclusive: Local developer plans massive 775-acre mixed-use development in Midlothian https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2021/04/19/midlothian-mixed-use-project.html https://media.bizj.us/view/img/11996473/screen-shot-2021-04-15-at-1230...

It looks like 2,800 acre Emory Lakes finally has the green light to proceed. It seems to have been reduced in scope slightly, now just 9K new homes instead of 10K. https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2021/04/01/NWAX/36cfd886-d498-4651-ab3d-c67380c041fc-4-4_Wax_Council_Emory_Lakes_map.jpg?crop=619,619...

Between the Galleria store and the one at Legacy West, it only makes sense. I'm just wondering how long Neiman Marcus and Macy's will stick around. It would be cool if Neiman's moved to Legacy West, but I don't know if LW has enough room to build a store that large. The Neiman Marcus at the Shops a...

Bakery chain plans to add up to 30 locations in North Texas https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2021/04/08/paris-baguette-dallas.html How does this place compare to, say, La Madeleine?

I don't see an issue with what's being proposed for the Fry's site.

Any other city in DFW would be thrilled to have such a development.

Someone posted the leasing map from 2003 earlier, and yes, Coach was where the Michael Kors store is now.

Southern Dallas and Tarrant counties are ripe for a full scale blanketing by HEB. Redlining and blue laws restricted growth sine the suburbs started, but one hopeful side effect is coming decades of better planned and longer lasting infrastructure improvements and dramatic population growth. Infilt...

Per the article, they also have plans to bring the Mi Tienda and Smart Shop brands to DFW.

Mi Tienda currently has 2 stores in Houston, and from what I hear, their performance has exceeded expectations.

They plan to open two stores in Plano and Frisco next year.

Agreed.

Addison

Somewhat off-topic, but out of curiosity, what's going up at the corner of Noel and Southern? Is it more apartments?

There wasn't much activity on the site for a while, then the other day I saw at least one worker back on site and it looked like a new crane was set up.

Signage has already been removed from the Best Buy and the store is closed. Of course, Fry's Electronics is also officially out of business as well but I guess that should probably be in the Cypress Waters thread since it's closer to that. Hmmm, I guess they already sold all of their merchandise an...

Addison

Also, FWIW, I was at the Best Buy in Las Colinas 2 weeks ago today and the cashier confirmed that location is closing permanently on 3/6.

Addison

Sounds like Alamo is closing the Las Colinas location as part of their bankruptcy... Do you have a source for this? Everything I can find on the internet doesn't mention anything about the Las Colinas location closing. The articles published listed the closings for their city. The press release sai...

Things can always go wrong, but the big hotel chains don't just get on board with any project unless they're confident it's sure thing (especially post-COVID).

Since we are talking 10 years into the future and not say like 50, I personally don't think so. I think the suburban stand-alone linear office buildings with the primary decider being high freeway access is done. There are multiple locations even along the G Bush where office buildings have been bu...

Addison

So essentially, it’ll kinda be how DNT is from 635 to 121? Lol I think it’ll be a smaller scale (until you get closer to Plano/Frisco) because McKinney/Allen NIMBYs seem more anti-density I do agree with the development not being nearly as intense. However, besides what you say about McKinney/Allen...

Addison

They're calling it a mixed used development, but it seems to mostly be a warehouse farm surrounded by a thin veil of retail and apartments. No doubt, it's definitely to take advantage of the I-35E widening/improvements. None the less, it's still nice to see that Waxahachie could get some new-to-mark...

Anyone got a guess on who that corporation was? I suspect not even Beck knows. It would have leaked by now if there was truth to it. Probably true.

Thing is, a growing population of people who aren't in the workforce (retirees, in the case of Florida and Arizona) is not sustainable growth. Phoenix and Miami's office markets are a fraction per capita of ours because more of the job growth is in services/tourism. Exodus from SoCal and Chicagolan...

This is also more anecdotal evidence, but according to someone's LinkedIn page I ran across who worked at the Northpark Nordstrom in 2019, that location was #4 in sales.

Addison

I did think my sources for the Nordstrom stores info was pretty reliable because they were in management in their marketing & advertising division, not people on the sales floor. I remain highly skeptical that the Northpark store has higher sales than stores such as the Seattle flagship (almost...

The Nordstrom Galleria store is #2 in sales volume in their Dallas/Ft. Worth region. Source? My source is people who work for Nordstrom. NorthPark has been the chain's #1 store in sales nationally for awhile. Although the Galleria store is #2 in sales regionally, it is decidedly behind NorthPark. T...

BTW, it seems at some point recently, the Pottery Barn quietly closed.

So strange to be talking about all of these malls today and the collapse of retail. 30 years ago I would not have imagined that these type of places would fall apart and go empty. I realize that Galleria is not completely to that level but wow the pandemic greatly accelerated all of this across the...

FWIW, there's still a BareMinerals store at Northpark. Yes, but now there is no BareMinerals store in Collin County.

Many of the chain stores are closing due to bankruptcy or downsizing of the number of stores. If the location wasn't performing, they are shuttered.

This map needs an update. It does not include the North Grove development, which is the largest planned development south of Dallas and Fort Worth, in Waxahachie. There is also the 35 expansion in Waxahachie which is turning 35 into a modern urban style corridor in Waxahachie and making it a 6 lane...

This looks like a redundancy closure, with 2 other GameStop stores within a 1 mile radius.

When Bloomingdales comes back to DFW, they're going to most likely seek out a smaller format (similar to the Macy's in Southlake) than their traditional stores, since the reason they left in the first place was because they couldn't compete with Neiman Marcus.
