I don't like how many supertall towers are in the 'proposed' stage at the moment. I agree, it does seem like at least one of them will come to fruition, but it makes me feel like the rest of them will just sit as being 'proposed' for a while and we're just stuck with the empty land for the time bein...

That's a very good question.. honestly if you can't build over it ...what's the point? Although, single sstory street facing retail may be doable..which would be better than nothing. You would think they would have clarified whether they plan to build over it or not in the 'opportunities' section. ...

If they go underground (3D), does that mean they can build on top of it?

3C seems reasonable enough. It likely won't be as expensive as 3D and it might help better connect the Cedars to Downtown, and I don't see it as that much of a wall.

Wow, I can't even keep up with all the changes happening in the urban core these days.

This specific area is going to look vastly different in a couple years time once some of these projects have been completed.

If I was a betting man I’d put the house on the new Goldman office being in Uptown or on the edge of downtown closest to Uptown. You have to remember $40-45 PSF Dallas rents are nothing compared to the $80-100 PSF you might pay in Manhattan. This is being talked about as a build-to-suit trophy asse...

This 1 bedroom (926 sq/ft) is being listed for $530,900 with $639/mo HOAs. Just in case anyone was wondering what these units were going to be priced at.

Not as of yet, but I think that "impact" will come as Trinity Groves densifies and goes vertical. I'd expect any development around there to try and tie in/connect to it. I was just expecting at least some more development on the Design District side. I do agree though, it is definitely c...

potatocoins

Thanks for sharing, that all sounds good to me. We're still in the very early stages of this area being re-developed, but I'm glad some forethought is being put into all of this to make it more bike/pedestrian friendly. I honestly expected this type of transformation to happen around the Ronald Kirk...

Thanks for sharing, I didn't realize that about all of those closures. Sounds like some very unfortunate timing in that case, since the Centrum essentially lost three establishments (two of which were owned by the same company) in a short timespan. I've been to Steel a couple of times, and I'm also ...

potatocoins

I'm not really sure. At one point, there was Mille Lire, Mudsmith, and Pints & Quarts, but all of those closed down in the last year or so. Mattito's is still there as is Steel. I think the Centrum is just, unfortunately, in an area that doesn't see a lot of foot traffic, and all the restaurants...

I'm not sure if I ever went to the one in Dallas. If I did, it obviously wasn't a memorable experience. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but it does seem like a staple touristy restaurant that would draw people to the area and give people more to do outside the Discovery District. I realize there are...

potatocoins

Love it! Keep the dirt flying in Oak Lawn, I've been waiting for some more density in this area.

potatocoins

Yikes. I can't say that I'm surprised given how hard the company was probably hit during COVID. Definitely a shame that we now have more vacant office space to fill in the urban core. An additional 500 workers in Deep Ellum is still a win for the area, it's just a shame they built out such a large o...

I haven't personally used them yet (way too hot), but I've seen pictures posted on Reddit of people biking on them.

I'll likely go check them out myself when the weather is a bit more mild.

While I definitely prefer this version over the ridiculous looking (and expensive) pedestrian bridge connector, I'm just not sure it is really important to connect these two trails at this point in time. I don't see enough people using this connector to really justify it, and I actually think the Tr...

potatocoins

Great news! I'll have to revisit this area to check out the Food Hall. The few times I've been to the Discovery District, it's been packed like everyone is saying. I'd love to see Hard Rock Cafe open up somewhere not too far from this area to give people another touristy thing to do in the vicinity.

potatocoins

I'm totally okay with a scaled down version, I'm really just looking forward to the NorthEnd apartments being razed and for something that will better connect Victory Park to Uptown in its place.

This will be taking over the former Mille Lire space in the Centrum. Hope it does well, because the Centrum is extremely vacant (as far as retail goes) these days.

So your alternative to cars sitting in parking spaces is that they're driving around in circles on the streets? Yep. Cars will likely come in a lot of different varieties, and you may have one seater cars, two seaters, or mini-buses that can shuttle 15-20 people around. Not only that, they'll all b...

As 'pro-development' as I am, I have been 'iffy' on this particular one just because it's nestled right smack dab in the middle of where I live. The naysayers in my building are saying traffic getting into and out of our garage will be a nightmare, and I used to buy into it. However, I think now (po...

Will be interesting to see how these look on the "skyline." Don't roast me alive for that, I know they're basic TC office towers, I'm just speaking as a photographer who loves to shoot cityscapes. Haha, I'd call it a skyline at this point. My parents have a place on Lake Lewisville, and i...

Right across the street from my place!! I really hope this happens, but I've seen way too many proposed developments not actually come to fruition in the Turtle Creek area.

We still have a big gaping whole from the Mandarin that was supposed to be built here..haha.

potatocoins

On the one hand, I really dislike how homogenous cities are becoming but I think it's huge that this particular establishment chose Deep Ellum of all the places in the US as their first location.

potatocoins

Hopefully this signals a reinstatement of demand for a downtown office, completing the decades long recreation of place. It'll take another decade or two for the city to finish stripping the suburban office park infrastructure that crushed the vitality of a city. I'd love to see that happen, but I ...

Why are people climbing over the edge?? Ugh..

potatocoins

Love that a company moved from a drab suburban office park to Downtown Dallas! I wish my employer would do the same! Agreed! Even more impressive that this move happened post-COVID as well, when people are supposedly trying to get away from the cities and/or working from home more. This is great ne...

Great news! I really do feel like it's only a matter of time before more companies come back and also end up back in Dallas too. I know are number of people were careless when riding these, but I really felt like they were generally a positive for our city. I felt like if a destination was close eno...

Maybe I should start calling it "SoNew" or "SoSmart" instead?

Having some quite residential blocks in-between multiple block of over-retailed block isn't a bad thing. Could become a major draw for more residential.... That's a good point. Currently, it's a bit too quiet/sleepy for my tastes, but once the East Quarter and Smart District area start developing m...

Thanks for sharing! I actually attended one of the events where they shut down the street temporarily to pedestrians and had booths and stuff for people to frequent, I just didn't know anything was actually going to come of it.

Thanks for sharing! I barely caught the end of it, so I didn't really hear anything of value, but I'm glad to see there have been a number of updates regarding this bus system redesign lately.

Wonderful! Can't wait to see this one break ground, it'll be such a huge improvement to the area.

I do feel like a lot of projects in this area will remain on hold until the rail station actually breaks ground.

A luxury Uptown rental high-rise is converting to condominium ownership. The 20-story One Uptown tower opened in 2017 at McKinney and Routh Street on the site of the Hard Rock Cafe. The $85 million project includes 196 luxury rental units and 18,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. The d...
