Got this word from the City of Irving regarding the Shops of Las Colinas (Market Street) development. I knew something was going on. They cleared the land about 2 months and have done nothing since... We received word about 2-3 weeks ago that the land owner had decided to suspend the development pen...

Screen Shot 2019-02-14 at 3.54.17 PM.jpg Where are people seeing a Hard Rock logo (or any logo) in that rendering? It was clearly visible in the DMN article yesterday, but I clicked the link just now and the DMN has changed the photo. I guess the developer called and asked them to change it. But ye...

So basically Amazon is saying we'd rather not build at all than bring 1/2 of the HQ2 to Dallas (or Charlotte, or Chicago, or Austin, or Atlanta)… Maybe things will change, but I sort of see it as they're still not very high on Dallas or any of the other cities.

Looking at the developers website - it looks like the address is 148 Pittsburgh. Also, looking at the developers website, it doesn't seem like this is a real project. They seem to be a brokerage firm that is trying to play developer. Wow, totally small world... I was actually inside 148 Pittsburgh ...

^^ Great sleuthing! The article does mention it to be on the site of a print shop, and both M Press Printing and Dallas Letter Press are in that location. If it is on that site, the only downside is that there are massive powerlines that run right along the side of that property. You can't really se...

From the DMN... A new tower is proposed on an old industrial site off Riverfront Blvd. It will overlook the Trinity River. If you look closely at the rendering you can see a Hard Rock Hotel logo, although the article mentions it's an unnamed brand. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/201...

Well I mean the reality is they don't need to "re-open" the search. I mean they already have all of the information they need. So, either they're telling the truth or they already know where they want to go. I think in the end they'll just end up adding to their footprint and adding more j...

I've always been underwhelmed by the outside of the Convention Center... It's poorly landscaped, poor signage, the back of the convention center is a flat out eyesore. It's not really all that pleasant to walk around or navigate compared to other centers I attend (and I've been to more than my fair ...

The Henry opens tomorrow @ The Union. Looks like a really great place! FOX Restaurants has some pretty great concepts!

Well, if they really are planning on adding the hotel and apartments then technically it could be cheaper to bring the crane down and then erect it again depending on the timeframe. Can't be 100% certain, but it generally cost about $50K to bring a crane down and then another $25k - $50K per month t...

Fun Fact: Embassy suites originally proposed a hotel on this site back in the 90's. If I'm not mistaken, they have owned the land ever since. Yep that's correct. Actually I'm not sure that is correct... Embassy isn't the owner, this hotel is being developed by a company in Louisiana and will be man...

Permits have been pulled for the new 7 story Embassy Suites Hotel on 114. This will be in the lot right behind Champps. This was the last rendering that was posted:

WOW, I absolutely love that! Looks really good.

^^Actually it's called Lupe Tortilla... It's a Tex-Mex chain from Houston that's making it's way to DFW. It's more in the mold of a Pappasito's or Uncle Julio's.

More about the Texican Court hotel, with pictures. Looks like something Motel 6 or Alamo Plaza would do in Santa Fe. A little surprised about the exterior-entrance rooms. In most new hotel construction these days, the rooms face inside. https://www.guidelive.com/fun-places-and-events/2019/01/16/hot...

Kelley USA

If you have about 30 minutes you can see the proposal for the updated Williams Square Plaza… Looks pretty good. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting but this seems like a nice balance. I mean it's nothing grand- basically green space and more trees for shade. The intention was to really preserv...

Kelley USA

If true, I would think they could build that quite a bit quicker than 5 years... I mean most projects of that size generally just take 2-3 years. Would definitely be cool and would love to see the additional retail / restaurant space in some sort of outdoor space like what Willow Bend just did... Go...

I use to volunteer in the Pre-School at Fellowship Church... There are a few reasons for using such a system. 1) It helps expedite drop-off at the pre-school. The less hassle you encounter the more likely you are to keep bringing your family and kids back to that church. 2) The biggest reason though...

This should be a good fit. Nice addition for Bryan Tower!

The restaurant has been empty. Excited to try it soon though. The hotel opened in November, but the restaurant actually just opened a few weeks ago. From what I can tell, it's a very small menu (maybe only like 10 items). They do live music every Friday & Saturday night in the restaurant / bar ...

Well, the loopnet listing was updated just 4 days ago. However, it's not the cylindrical design that was once kicked around. It's the other design which I think has been the preferred design by Hillwood for awhile now. Maybe something is moving forward?? Listing and marketing brochure links below. h...

Market Street finally pulled permits for their new store in The Shops of Las Colinas. I think all permits have now been received for the entire property. The land has been cleared so hopefully we see this one start to move along sooner rather than later. I'm still a little amazed that not a single r...

So why can't Hunt, AT&T and Big D NYE all combine into one amazing thing?? You could have the fireworks show, perhaps even make it bigger and shoot fireworks from the Trinity River as well...

Went to Shake Shack on Monday... Place is nice! Actually not too much seating on the inside which sort of surprised me. Staff was super friendly, food was tasty, although a tad bit pricey (I already knew this though as I had been to the one in Uptown several times). I paid $15 for burger, fries and ...

Pretty much all of the retail space has been leased at The Union... Creamistry is the latest to sign a lease, and the last available retail spot is currently "at lease". I drove by this weekend and The Henry is looking pretty sweet!

^^ That is true... They actually did a nice job on the build-out. Makes the shopping center look better. It's front and center! I am surprised that with Water Street and the Music Factory that neither of them were able to attract a legit burger place. I also learned over the weekend that several spo...

I really thought Irving had a good chance to attract this development. The old Texas Stadium site would have been a pretty good spot too! Good for Allen though.

I am curious to see what they come up with... I have a feeling I'll be disappointed though. The thought was they were going to add retail / restaurant space to help complement the success of Water Street. Should be interesting indeed!

The article does mention that several small buildings are on the site... I guess it could be the stretch from Avanti down to the where Jake's Burgers is. I wouldn't really mind seeing the building where the Den was torn down. That thing is a dump!

Looking at their site, I will say they do have some pretty nice residential towers! Looks like they build a really nice product. Curious if they'll incorporate any retail space?

What's the deal with Gingerman at Water Street???? I went by on Friday and it's a completely empty shell. Are they even working on it? The liquor license on the window was dated July...

More apartments for the Urban Center?? But of course... I think there are currently 1500 apartment units either being developed or about to break ground in the UC.
