Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

Ran across this with all my spare time.

Would love to see this entire area from Spring Valley from the tollway to Preston to 635 become a new urban area of Dallas. It is well positioned to do so.

Cbdallas

Tick Tock Tick Tock still waiting to see some action here.

Cbdallas

Sadly because it is still all about the cars and where to park them. This should have been guided by pedestrian goals not traffic goals.

Cbdallas

If this were in the middle of Klyde Warren Park it would appear much larger but at the base of several high rises and an 18 story video wall it scales down. I think it fits great in the overall scheme of this space. Can't wait to see it all in person.

Cbdallas

I would be ok with that if it was 100 stories tall.

I would be ok with that if was 100 stories tall.

Some more development like these and a Central Market would be a game changer for this entire area.

Cbdallas

Love this I remember when that DART station felt so removed from it all over there.

Cbdallas

I heard Roy G's is open and that they have some old menu items from Snookie's on Oak Lawn.

Cbdallas

I was being facetious. I was puzzled why a survey in a very pro business site would skew against this project.

Cbdallas

Southwest and American AA sent out memos to all employees to go online and vote against.

Cbdallas

Airline lobby's are probably fighting this pretty hard behind the scenes. I would love to have it done and another one to triangulate Austin and San Antonio as well. Those 4 cities are all in the same state and high population centers imagine if Texas actually led the nation on this.

Cbdallas

Probably what will work here is more like a large spa service place. The approach from Cedar Springs is not friendly and the parking is not obvious. I doubt they will be razing something as large as this building is and it is not that old in the scheme of things. They just need to give up on leasing...

Cbdallas

I have not been to those restaurants in a while how are they doing with business now that the initial opening excitement has waned.

Cbdallas

Hopefully the "Eastern Blockade" won't be able to stop this and more like them from happening. Grow up not out.

Cbdallas

We can finally have the wedding of lower Uptown and Victory Park into one big happy family.

Cbdallas

Those 500 people could turn into 3000 people if they would build this out to the dense levels of height that this parcel could support today.

Cbdallas

I would actually be fine with a more residential mixed use at Reunion to activate the surrounding area. Leave the iconic towers to take out those low rise Northend apartments next to Victory.

Cbdallas

Stampede 66 and Water Grill were high end destination restaurants which are having a harder time in Dallas as there are so many new options in that market. At the same time we have a gap down there of more casual options but those models can't pay the extreme rents that are are demanding.

Cbdallas

I would have never thought we would be looking at most of Victory Park being built out at this point. Very exciting especially with lower Uptown bumping up next to all of this with even more high rises and hotels.

Cbdallas

Would be nice to see this head towards the sky in east Dallas and more like it in that area.

Cbdallas

Would love to see this type of dense tall development not only jump the east side of 75 into east Dallas but also next to the DART subway station.

Cbdallas

I would love to see the first new high rise pop up across the river. I am not sure it will happen this cycle but it will be really cool to see it when it does as it will stand out by itself hopefully not for long though.

Cbdallas

Just heard a rumor that Mia's is moving to the old Buzzbrews building on Lemmon. If true then maybe they can grab surrounding property around the old space and build something more substantial. Lemmon is so stuck in the old Dallas of the 1970's really could use some new denser taller development and...

The Circo space might be a good fit for them but would require a total redo inside.

Cbdallas

If they worker shortage is pretty much everywhere then our tax and business advantages would still drive companies here.

Cbdallas

An urban Target would draw from all of the downtown dwellers to that area.

Cbdallas

I agree I don't understand Dallas aversion to height and trying to squash down buildings in the urban core.

Cbdallas

That would be great. If we could get this going and then get the few towers across the river going we would be growing up in every direction around downtown core.

Cbdallas

I drove through area on last Sunday before the Super Bowl and there were lots of people out but going up Commerce and down Elm and back up Main were easy and not a big deal. I don't see traffic as a problem but more of a solution to slow down vehicles and make the urban area more pedestrian oriented...

Cbdallas

I wonder if it would be possible to create a partnership between the AA Center and the Irving and Dallas Convention centers and any other event space that is off the DART rail stations where a holder of a ticket stub could use that as a pass on the DART trains the day of that event. It would encoura...

Cbdallas

That is looking really nice.

Cbdallas

Ok I am impressed with the image quality. This will be exciting as it all comes together.

Cbdallas

I am happier to see this become a hotel for this area.

Cbdallas

I have said it before but Deep Ellum is going to become like the West Loop area of Chicago with a cool mix of office living and funk and tech. It is all good. We are no longer the sleepy little city on the prairie.

Cbdallas

I like 1999 McKinney and would love to be able to afford a unit there. I think it feels better being in the thick of the urban city rather than just looking lonely from back in the day when it was the only thing over there.

Cbdallas

Only being open M-F 7AM-7PM really makes it just an amenity for the office workers in the building. They don't seem to be interested in playing to the residents or hotel guest of downtown.

Cbdallas

This area is feeling really like a gap on McKinney. I wish they would move forward or sell so that block can fill in with new energized development.

Cbdallas

I think they will be open on Sundays which will be a plus as most BBQ is closed on Sundays.

Cbdallas

I will just be glad that all of this will slow down traffic on Cedar Springs and make the entire area more walk able. (looking forward to actually crossing the street to walk to Kroger at Knight without risking my life) Maybe this will eventually include updating and improving the strip center at Kn...

Cbdallas

What would stick in downtown is an urban Target like the one in Preston Center.

Cbdallas

I wish that this was going to be at least as tall as Museum Tower across the park. 30 stories is not very tall. Dallas just can't seem to get any traction on height.

Cbdallas

At this point just have a bunch of Drones fly over between the two bridges and dump wildflower seeds in the entire basin. At least it would be pretty and some great photo opps until something can get going.

Cbdallas

Another question will this be all office or will some be apartments when completed.

Cbdallas

Not sure how at 30 stories this would be uptowns tallest tower. I think that is not correct isn't Harwood working on a new one that is supposed to be the tallest.

Cbdallas

I wish they were open daytime on the weekends.

Cbdallas

Convert 2nd and 3rd floors to apartments put in rock climbing and zip lining over the ice rink. Retail is really changing and these spaces will have to be re imagined.

Cbdallas

Why would the Green line be a negative for Deep Ellum this seems so contrary to other urban cities where they would want transit. Not sure I understand. Even Los Angeles of all places is adding more rail and stations why would Dallas not want more instead of less transit.

Cbdallas

Headington has cut benefits except for top management and has cut food cost. Even a billionaire has their limits to what they will absorb as a loss.
