I doubt they ever would, but I'd really like them to do something with One At&T Plaza. The area is nice but that wall has an unpleasant, imposing effect. A bit of artwork would go a long way. As much of a 'blank slate' that wall is, you would think something as simple as a projector throwing up...

There’s a hint of Vegas in the middle of this project, anchored by the 104-foot-tall by 84-foot-wide “media wall” that Trampel says has a “higher resolution than Times Square.” It won’t be a place for AT&T to air advertisements for phones, however; it will use it as an art piece This is honestl...

All the residential coming to DE is exciting, but i'm looking forward to The Stack the most. It'll make that immediate split between DE and Downtown appear to literally "vanish", similar to the Epic but on a smaller scale. And with that 17-story development in the East Quarter on the way,...

The existing wall isn't the problem, the problem is the designers effectively putting another wall on the street's other side. There's no reason the other side can't be a vibrant space that invites you to walk down it, this isn't a back alley. The side facing Harwood is also a towering flat surface,...

The street interaction is absolutely abysmal for something facing Dallas's best park space, just WOW. The overall aesthetic is fine, but this looks like it would be a colossal mistake and such a waste... is it too late to go back to the drawing board? If this was the aesthetic they're going for, at ...

Every time I drive by, it does not appear to be full. It looks especially strange being that it is a two-story area, so there's lots of temporary covering with two-dimensional greenery on it. It really does look strange. They probably should have held off on the second floors until they knew they c...

Did they ever even manage to fill up that outdoor area? Last time I went, which was not long ago, there were still lots of facades on the structures.

Would love to see that tunnel filled with dirt and have Klyde Warren extended, gently sloping down that entire distance and ending just a short hop and a skip away from the trinity.

The sky bridge is just so. dang. ugly.

THRILLHO

It sure does look like 2010s Dallas, for better and for worse. Reminds me a lot of what's gone up in Legacy.

This rendering is particularly optimistic with already putting an additional high rise on the other side of the portal.

THRILLHO

You can see the rendering includes the Dart D2 underground portal in front of the property.

THRILLHO

Does anyone know what this is?

THRILLHO

Every time I see this place I almost can't get over how much of an eyesore that skybridge is.

It's slanted, doesn't match the aesthetic of its buildings, and is laughably high off the ground.
Fortunately the view facing the Adolphus will be much better.

DFW is looking into the future of retail/restaurants on the non-secured side of terminals there. Apparently the spots on the secured side are performing much better than those located before the security checkpoints. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/business/aviation/article238014924.html I'm sur...

THRILLHO

Wow! Yeah, I can't imagine the fences coming down any later than a week from now if they went through the effort of putting a tree up. I'm guessing nothing is ready to be opened, but it should be pleasant to stroll through.

THRILLHO

I'm curious to see how the west portal will impact the viability of future development on this parking lot. Doesn't seem very appealing to have a development flanked by a freeway on one side, an exit ramp on another, and this rather lengthy impassable portal on another. I would not be surprised if t...

THRILLHO

A shame about the Deep Ellum station, but otherwise all very exciting stuff. Maybe losing the Deep Ellum station would be an incentive for us to get a streetcar line running the length of Main st? Now that I’m thinking about it, I can envision an ART line that connects the Smart/Convention Center/Ci...

Speaking of Uber, someone on reddit has already spotted a self-driving car downtown:

I am fine with Dallas focusing on good density not height just because a few bros need something to measure up to. The whole space race in highrise height does nothing for making Downtown a safe and stable neighborhood of quality spaces with economic security. We need more infill that brings reside...

August 18th vs November 2nd. I've always been a fan of this little building. It looks nice with the new glass.

THRILLHO

August 18th, 2019 vs November 2nd, 2019

THRILLHO

Yeah, it's nice seeing how the height will compare to its neighboring buildings.

THRILLHO

And we still don't have any other rendering? I want to see this thing at street level.

If these drawings are still accurate, it looks like they'll squish as many spaces in there as possible with this double-parking situation:

Oddly if you look at the photo in D magazine it shows a car leaving the building to the street. Not sure where they would even park there they can't go underneath a freeway is down there. https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2019/10/kelcy-warren-gives-20-million-to-klyde-warren-park/ Here is the s...

Cinemark West Plano is one of the best theaters in DFW. I'm interested in seeing how well this will compete with it.

I can't read the article, but is there anything notable about this chain?

As good an excuse as any to build a space elevator instead of a HSR station.

THRILLHO

A little concerned about this. With the amount of density this development is about to bring to that area, any investment put into 345 should be towards either tearing it down or burying it. This should be seen as a huge incentive to begin that process. Or as a huge confirmation that the project is...

Local transportation officials have sought to sweeten the deal, too. Michael Morris, the director of transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, proposed committing $10 million to $15 million to improve transportation in and around Uber’s office. Among the ideas, he suggested...

Too bad about the museum. It would have been nice to have there, but I hope there are still plans for one somewhere in DFW. Either way, I really hope something actually materializes on what has been one of the more baffling empty lots. Putting a walkable area here will form a much-needed connective ...

THRILLHO

That tiny surface lot is such a waste.

And I wish the building was more monochrome. The horizontal brown accents clash with the window color and makes the building noisy to look at. I love the shape overall, though.

THRILLHO

If Amazon theoretically did move into the VP spot I would love to see them somehow purchase the AA Center and put a park/plaza in its place as part of its campus. It would be an ideal spot for a nice open park that bookends Katy trail.

THRILLHO

I calculated .3 and .5 miles from the platform to Convention Center and Cedar Stations, respectively. Used Google maps. Rough estimate to be sure but thats about a 6 min and 10 min walk. Not terrible but not exactly great either. Will have to be good enough I guess. Ideally those sky bridges will h...

D'oh, well my FC Dallas thread can be moved to wherever it needs to be.

THRILLHO

Absolutely. Portable Animal Crossing in HD would be a dream come true.

I'm counting on ports of Splatoon and Smash Bros, and I wouldn't blame Nintendo for putting them out considering how abysmal Wii U sales were.

It sounds like we'll find out on Jan 12th when they do the full reveal.

THRILLHO

I am a total newbie here, but are there forum descriptions? I have no idea what "The Pitch" is, or what sort of discussions are meant to be going in "Art+Sol" and "Opolis Blueprints." The rest are self-explanatory, but those three I'm not sure about. Thanks in advance.

THRILLHO

I'm psyched! I can't wait to see what games they have lined up for the launch. Hopefully the pro controller will have gyro functionality built in because it's the only way that I want to play Splatoon 2. And I hope it will have some great interactive travel uses. Pokemon GO has been great, and I lov...

We are fighting to be the first team to ever win the Major League Soccer Treble which involves winning three trophies: The US Open Cup, the Supporters Shield (given to the team with the best season record), and the MLS Cup. We won the first a couple months ago, and we just won the second one on Sund...
