How is this going to play out now that Uber is planning on building around the lots that the rail is going to cut through? Are the business that are currently in place going to be torn down? It's a bit confusing because this plan is do dated that new buildings and business have gone up in the time t...

I was surprised when it was announced that it wasn’t mixed use. I can’t see this building ever getting off the ground as just office space. I hope they’re reworking their plan and it’s not dead.

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2019/10/21/historic-east-dallas-manufacturing-building-set-for-redo/ I can't wait to see how this turns out. I'm glad that this building is being converted instead of being demolished. I've always wanted to know the history of this building and now I k...

Has any official plans been released regarding the new tower? I've driven by and seen things move across the street. Looks like they're in the process of prepping the site.

dd_dweller

Yes, they are. It feels a bit weird driving on the right side now.

I believe that's part of the remodel that's being done to the building. They'll be adding more retail spaces to the ground floor.

dd_dweller

Not a huge fan of this design. Dallas seems to only build boxy buildings with giant podiums. They should combine both office towers to one so we get something with more height. I understand we need parking but do we have to see it? I do know something is better than having empty lots. Just an opinion.

dd_dweller

It looks like the lanes have finally opened up. I think they're still working on a few things before everything's completely finished.

Page 11 has a rendering of phase II or possibly just a placeholder of what could be built. Looks fairly new. Never seen this before.

dd_dweller

If uber does open up an office at the Epic, I hope they build a platform on whatever building they build. I think that's what the new buildings will be adding as an amenity. Would be cool to see that in phase 2.

dd_dweller

Can anyone snap the photo from the article? I'm not able to read it.

dd_dweller

Where was this located? What an awesome building. Wish we had more like these buildings instead of surface lots.

dd_dweller

If Dallas lands Uber, I’m sure phase 2 will get started a lot sooner than later. It mentioned two more towers could be added. I wonder how tall they can go. I hope it’s all mixed use. More residential and office with retail. They’ve done a good job so far. Super excited about this news. Dallas needs...

Well, it's not Fireside Pies, but... Starbucks has been named as the tenant for the storefront by the Hampton Inn. The article doesn't give a timeframe for completion or opening. https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2019/05/07/starbucks-commerce-street-downtown-dallas.html Now if we could get th...

Whats going on with the lots around exposition and main? The one random yellow house building and the old tattoo shop are fenced up.

The circled part I believe is different. I only see the plans for the gin site.

dd_dweller

What’s going on with the demolition of the building on elm and hall? Is it part of the continental gin development?

dd_dweller

Do we have any new renderings? The one on the DMN seems a lot boxier than previous renderings. Maybe that's what the backsides suppose to look like. IDK.

dd_dweller

Update on what these units will be? Are they going to be apartments or condos? Downtown lacks new affordable condos.

dd_dweller

Any news about phase 2 as mentioned before? Can't wait to see what it'll look like.

dd_dweller

Does anyone know what’s being done to the Neiman Marcus parking garage?

dd_dweller

The projects I'm most excited about are:

* The Epic and if successful phase 2
* Carpenter Park
* Discover District - I hope the architecture is bold and iconic

Seems like every corner of downtown is being developed. Hope this keeps going into 2019 and beyond.

dd_dweller

Any renderings for the park/improvements? I didn’t see any on the DDI Facebook page.

dd_dweller

Has there been any updates on the status of this project? This is now becoming a homeless camp area the past few weeks. I hope this doesn't become a tent city.

dd_dweller

Has anything been announced in regards to retail/restaurants being signed or lead tenants for the office tower?

dd_dweller

I haven’t seen a topic page for the Sheraton.

I drove by yesterday and it looks like they’re starting to remodel the entrance. It’s all blocked off now. There’s some picture at the parking garage. Anyone know what all is getting done?

dd_dweller

What are they doing to the intersection of Elm and Harwood st? It's close to this but I see the sidewalks being expanded but don't know if there's something more to it than just wider sidewalks.

dd_dweller

Drove by today and they tore down the liquor store along Ross. I know we shouldn't be too optimistic about this project.

dd_dweller

Driving by, I've seen them working on this road. Hopefully it's continuous work and not on and off again. This road has taken years to build.

With Tenoversix moving over to Forty Five Ten, what are they going to do with the current Tenoversix space?

dd_dweller

Does anyone know an update on this property? The liquor store closed down last weekend. They said they're tearing down the building.

Maybe Spire is finally making a move on its property.

dd_dweller

This project is never consistent. They have people working on it one day and the next few days nobody is on site. I don't understand that. No wonder this project is taking forever! Are they short on labor or something? Anyone have any info as to why the crew is seldom there?

dd_dweller

Across the street from the Gabriella is another worksite at Texas and Live Oak. The contractor is SunTech. I was looking on their website and I couldn't find anything. They do retail sites and standalone CVS stores. Anyone know how to find out whats being built on that site?

dd_dweller

Construction has started back up again on the parking garage. How many floors will the garage be? From previous renderings and articles, it does seem to have retail space in the parking garage. You can kind of see the layout of it driving down jackson. They have a ramp that goes up from jackson to t...

This project has started! I've been seeing work being done on all these sites. I'm excited to have a grocery store within walking distance. The lot across from this site, on live oak st is getting a lot of work done too. I think its part of this project. Phase 2 on the back side is completely fenced...

I haven't heard anything about the Lifetime project anymore. Is this still happening or has this been killed?

The sites across the street from that project.

dd_dweller

Does anyone know why the site on live oak & Texas st is being cleared? At first I thought it was being cleaned up.

dd_dweller

Does anyone know what the streets going to look like once its finished? I like that the side of Cesar Chavez by the farmers market has trees in the middle. Will this new road have that as well or will it all just be a huge rode?

I was walking by the new bar/restaurant, Bottled Blond, which opened in Deep Ellum and it was very busy! It seems isolated now but I'm sure things will open around it soon. With that said, I saw the building next door had a for lease sign that was taken down and people were moving out. There were n...

The only thing that bugs me is that it looks like the 105 year old Eagle's Nest Cathedral would be demolished, and a parking structure put in its place. It's hard to tell but I don't see it in the renderings. There's got to be a way to preserve it. It doesn't take up much land and could become a gr...

Quick question, with all these other small cities within the DFW putting a bid, doesn't it mean that they too have meet the requirements of being a city with 1million people? Do they think (suburbs) they meet the criteria because they're part of the DFW? I just don't think the suburbs are as attract...

There's been some activity at the old vertigo salon on main street. I haven't seen any signs go up. It's been getting cleaned out. Hopefully this is good news and they have a new retailer.

dd_dweller

I love all that’s going on with this property but I wish we would get retail. All that gets announced Downtown is new restaurants. People need places to shop downtown. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with all the activity going on downtown. We just need some new retailers people who live downtown...

dd_dweller

It seems like the lot next door is finally being prepped. Most of it has already been cleared.

Does anyone know what’s actually getting built? More apartments and a garage? Any renderings?
