Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

I emailed the Executive Director of Uptown Dallas Inc. to see if she knew the reason behind the delay or if the deal fell through with Central Market or what. She responded: "It is my understanding that the deal is still very much happening. I know we are all anxious for it to get underway."

Somebody on Reddit just posted that he knew the Project Managers on this Central Market job. His comment on why it hasn't started yet: "Blame the owner. The construction company is ready to start but the owner/developer won't sign the contract. I know the PMs on that job. Technically it was sup...

I am late to the party on this one. Any time frame mentioned on when they are gonna break ground on this project?

Heard from somebody that claims to be in-the-know that the process of tearing down the vacant building will be starting this Monday, September 20th. The whole process should be done by late November. Also heard the Dream Hotel is officially not gonna happen. The voters voted them down so many times ...

Just took a walk and saw a metal fence wrapped around the empty lot. That's new as of this past week. Maybe some kind of action happening of some sort. Whether it be the Dream hotel (probably unlikely now) or maybe the demo of the empty office building.
