I hope this goes really well and have been fantasizing that the same set of people want to do it again at BofA on their empty lot and CityPlace (West of 75). Completing complimentary, but updated versions of their originally planned twins and adding residents and value to the current buildings all t...
That article has an Uber sky port rendering that is on top of the parking garage at Victory Park next to the DART stop. Hope that’s actually in the works!
I live at The Metropolitan and can see it out my window. There has been progress on the exterior every day, which has picked up in the last month. Most of that progress has been on the tile and whatever the aqua green/blue stuff is going up the building behind the white stripes, as that now looks co...
Dallas wants to plant a park over Preston Center's garage. The owners want 300 apartments https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/02/01/dallas-wants-plant-park-preston-centers-garage-owners-want-300-apartments I am not understanding why this can't be BOTH. Street-level park with undergro...
I'm a Realtor and I work with 2 different investor/developers and they want to do more of these in Dallas, but the market hasn't really shaped up for them in Dallas in a larger scale. It is something that takes most new developers to town aback when they assess the market here and see this. It is ch...
At least little Rowlett stands up to developers to do what they think will be better for their community while Dallas must rolls over and let’s developers do whatever they want
I feel like the Masonic Temple could handle a boutique hotel on the parking behind it with underground parking. With the access to Farmer's Market, Deep Ellum, Main Street District, and eventually, the subways stop, Harwood Park and the Smart District.... A hotel could go over quite well! and someth...
They were testing LED's on this one last night at the top of the building at the ends of the white pin-stripes. They were shining up into the sky and moving around like spot lights.
If it is a ground lease, it seems like it is the same for that whole section of Uptown, which is why it doesn't blend well with anything on any side of it. The whole section bound by Lemmon, Oak Grove, Lemmon E, and Cole (also with the Walgreen's, as it appears part of the CM site) is all suburban-s...
The HP NIMBY's need to just get over it. That area is going to continue to become more dense and the only way is up. They should be happy that it is a higher end version of Uptown. The land is in the City of Dallas and and not Highland Park. I can get over the Preston Hollow NIMBY's and their push b...
In this case, I think there should be a bridge, but one that is built through philanthropy through the Friends of the Katy Trail or something. After the Mockingbird bridge is complete, this be the missing link to connecting the 2 major trail systems seamlessly. Then the Katy Trail Connector will be ...
I thought the new lighting looked great. It isn't one continuous line like on BoA, the LED strips are spaced a bit. They weren't on tonight when I drove by, so I'm guessing testing them has just started.
Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but the Tower at Cityplace has continued with its renovation and has finally replaced the lighting on the outside of the building with LED lighting. No more eighties style light bulbs. Last night was the first night they were all on. They were white, but I'm as...
Let's not forget that Grand Prairie has also been on annexation mode with it's city limits now bordering Midlothian and with it's southern limits currently ending at 287.
What's assembling near Grand Prairie's new Ikea? Retail, dining pieces coming together http://www.dallasnews.com/business/retail/2017/03/03/assembling-near-ikea-retail-plans-unfolding-along-grand-prairies-161 So Much growth over there! Also, I hadn't realized that IKEA had already announced it's 3r...
These seem to pretty well match up with Walsh logistics and construction animation and the description on the FAA site regarding height, layout, and orientation.
And the museum and tower that is supposed to go across the street. Meh... I lost all hope in that ever coming to fruition. I wrote to the developer about a year ago and he was pretty upfront with how early they were in the process and that the time frame was a bit of a longer one. He also mentioned...
This would be great in that spot, but I swear I saw a development sign on this site along McKinnon that showed some type of small lowrise building going on it. I think that would be a waste of space as this 20 story building would be a much better use of that land. Does anyone have confirmation on ...
I moved here in 2013 and that whole area on the other side of the bridge is already essentially unrecognizable. I think it is only now hitting its stride and will be even more unrecognizable in a few more years and in a good way.
I had breakfast at Market Diner on Harry Hines this weekend and when I left I cut through the mostly low-income, hispanic neighborhood immediately to the east (area between Harry Hines and Maple. I know there were a few townhomes built in this area around the recession, but I noticed several new mo...
I haven't seen this on here. Apologies if it is already covered somewhere. Dallas' venerable Mansion on Turtle Creek hotel is kicking off a major addition. The luxury hotel with 143 rooms and suites sits just north of Uptown at Turtle Creek Boulevard and Gillespie Street. Since opening its doors 36 ...
Haha, yes. That is a gem. And, the new garage will be right by one of the crappiest* benches in Downtown Dallas. . . https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0t6X-UVIAAaYMZ.jpg https://twitter.com/CTroyMathis/status/813878724898787330 So, basically, 4 light rail lines and 1 trolley line (and, eventually the St...
I still find the position of the tower portion itself atop the podium a bit odd considering it will be as close as possible to the 1400 Hi-Line apartments directly across Edison
I think it is easy enough to get a feel for what a city's PID is considering downtown if you've been there and relatively easy if you know something about the metros. Dallas is considering what is within the loop as downtown and I think it is healthy and growing. Considering that there are so many p...
The LED lights between floors have been slowly being turned on and tested since this past weekend. From McKinney Ave, there are several floor strips that were lit when I saw them on Saturday night. From my vantage point in Turtle Creek, only the top strip has been lit. So far, only white has been th...
I agree with Cbdallas. Also, the average person will have no idea why it is called The Drever and that name doesn't sound too far off from many development names anyway. I live over at the Renaissance and this building is fairly significant on the skyline. I've lived in my place for just over a year...
I'm hopeful we'll end up with an actual HEB at the Lemmon location. As for this tower and the other one on the boards a few blocks from it, I think it actually makes sense for the whole area to be more dense with a mix of towers, midrise, 4-8 story structures, and townhomes. While not all properties...
I really hope this one picks up some steam ASAP. It still seems like it has a long way to go and I never really get a sense of a lot of activity going on. That said, it is a large project and I know a lot was done before. I often felt the same when passing the Statler, but that one has been making i...
