Outside of Vegas is there even a brand for Hard Rock anymore???

I always wished the 2nd tower would get built someday but I have to say this is really looking good next to the existing building and compliments it very nicely.

Cbdallas

I would love to see about 20 more of these type of building up and down OakLawn and Lemmon.

All of this vacancy could create an opportunity for a company to plant their flag downtown in one of the most architecturally significant buildings. I am not sure at this point what we can do to make downtown more attractive for business. Maybe just convert it all into living who knows. I heard a ru...

Putting ticket takers on every train while costly would make the train feel more inviting to paying customers while removing those that don't pay or use the train as a homeless shelter which drives more paying riders away from using the train. If I could go back in time I would have insisted they ga...

Fair Park would be a great venue for an even bigger Halloween party and event with some named performers than what the street and neighborhood can accommodate. We live in that hood and quit going years ago due to the overcrowding and the fencing in of the event as you get stuck on one side and canno...

So is the DREAM finally DEAD?

Cbdallas

Ah yes 2001 back when Dallas thought it was Paris. Please do a pencil thin modern highrise not a faux past. Would be great to do a fresh modern take on the NYC Flat Iron building.

Cbdallas

I thought the move was because of road construction that would still be occurring along the parade route on Cedar Springs in September of this year so they had to come up with an alternative and decided to move it to Pride Month in June to Fair Park. The worst part is that the DART rail is closed al...

Build up not out.

Cbdallas

Probably $9 gallon gas and jam packed grid lock would get these projects rolling. It is still too cheap to drive and own a car here but we should still try to get some of these things done.

Cbdallas

With this and the tower announced at Oak Lawn and Lemmon the tower barrier has been breached to the West side of Oak Lawn! Keep them coming.

I don't understand the push back against high rise development. I live in a townhouse with a slight downtown view but I realize that at anything the block across the street could and should go high rise and I would be all for it. For me it is about living in densely packed urban walk-able core not v...

I have always wanted a direct connection to Love Field from the Burbank station but with all the development going into the Knox Henderson area I am leaning on rather directing efforts and money to eventually open up the station there instead. Rideshare I think will take over most airport trips in t...

I lived here in Dallas in the 1980's and 90's when you could rent a decent apartment south of Highland Park all the way to downtown for about $500 a month and I also remember when there was no one downtown or anywhere in Oak Lawn during the day and no one dare walk on the sidewalks. Uptown was empty...

With Eataly there is very little else in retail or food that Dallas lacks compared to what is in the top 5 metros. I won't have to travel as much to the other large cities.

Cbdallas

Dallas and DFW are vastly different than they were 10 years ago. Increases have gone up across the board in ALL areas due to the ongoing boom and in migration that has occurred. I would love to see even more towers and more luxury going into the entire core of Dallas as that would mean that it is a ...

Cbdallas

Finally some new tower action in Oak Lawn. I hope we see a lot more of these projects go up around here in the future!

Cbdallas

They can convert that into an HEB when it closes.

Cbdallas

I would love to see Lemmon narrowed to 2 lanes with a large planted median and let midrise and highrise development go all the way to Inwood. This entire road from 75 to Inwood feels like it is still 1975 in Dallas with old strip centers and run down sidewalks and yet it is seen by hundreds of thous...

Cbdallas

If this pans out and they get Eataly NP should really put in a hotel and some residential towers and maybe even an office tower and just make this a much denser development and connect it all to the DART station across 75 with some kind of cool pedestrian bridge into the Park Lane Development. This ...

Godspeed Central Market!

Has any large city in the US successfully dealt with the homeless I can't think of one and Dallas is way down on the list based on my obervation's and visits to those other cities. I think this just reflects that our metro is now the 4th largest in the country and there is no real solution out there...

Cbdallas

CB2 is a great addition to the mix and with Restoration building up and the other residential mixed use projects this area is going to be fairly urban. If only we had built out that Knox DART station.........

Cbdallas

"It's pretty different from the beige hellscape that is NorthPark (IMHO)"

A hellscape filled with world class art in a museum setting. That was a bit harsh.

Cbdallas

While I too would have preferred an urban setting unfortunately Dallas does not have a dense urban area with the demographics that would support an Eataly. Even the Chicago location has been problematic as they aren't drawing outside of that urban location. I do think this location will draw from th...

Also we have a Mayor over those 14 fifedoms that is basically a glorified diplomat with no real power to push things and corral the city behind them to get things done. It is actually amazing to me how well things have gone the last 20 years under this overall system I guess we should feel good abou...

Cbdallas

So my new choice for eating at Northpark will be between the chicken salad sandwich sampler plate and tortilla soup at Neiman's or the shaved prime rib sandwich at Eataly.

Cbdallas

Fort Worth has a huge boondoggle called Panther Island. I am just our bridge is getting fixed and will open. At least Dallas is trying to do big things unlike other cities. I remember living here in the 1990's when nothing happened downtown was dead and uptown was empty derelict land and we had no r...

Cbdallas

I actually have been to both New York locations as well as Chicago and though it never crossed my mind I think North Park might be the best viable spot for Eataly in the Metro. It would draw from the entire region especially on weekends it would be a destination.

Cbdallas

Some kind of interesting pedestrian bridge over Field Street would help connect uptown with Victory and also act as a feature for that area. There is not a very friendly way to walk from Uptown to Victory without feeling like frogger.

Cbdallas

Beyond the food court I wonder when they will add a hotel or residential tower component or both to the mix. I really think there is a market there for that type of development and it would also make it more urban than just a shopping center.

Cbdallas

Went Sunday afternoon and it surprised me how big it was as big as any suburban store and also very nice. Parking was a breeze and ease of shopping and checking out was great. Very busy lots of people buying their groceries. When they put up some more towers nearby this entire Union complex is going...

Now the fun part begins watching it rise up and take it's place in the arts district.

Cbdallas

Would love to see a big beautiful fountain or water feature where that statute used to be.

Cbdallas

I would think they could get approval here to build some fairly tall buildings and then maybe this would get the Perot site across Woodall to finally get their supertall out of the ground. Would love to finally see some real skyline changers as it has been a while for Dallas.

Cbdallas

This could be a great fit at West Village.

back in around 2000 I moved to the newly opened South Side on Lamar to experience the loft life being younger at the time. I always saw so much potential in this entire area and all connected by a DART station in the middle of it all. I hope to enjoy visiting this area and see its potential fully re...

Cbdallas

And once again they are going to the Domain in Austin which is not in the urban center and not connected by a train. I am not buying that tech is really interested in those things but only work talent. Even by going to Arlington they did not really select the truly urban area in the center of DC.

Cbdallas

These nodes around the DART rail stations all need increased density and height to maximize both the urban city and our rail system that we built. If you want to live in a house that doesn't see a high rise building from your backyard there are plenty of options in the suburbs and exurbs around Dall...

Cbdallas

I really don't understand the obsession with limiting height in the urban core of the city. We still need tons and tons of more density in the core and the only way to get it there is height. This is not just a Deep Ellum issue.

Close Main Street and make it an outdoor music festival and get some big corporate sponsors to get some real talent to draw the crowds from all over the metroplex. It just takes money to get this done. I've been saying for years that this should be done every Friday & Saturday evening. Drill a ...

It is trying very desperately to be Miami and Dallas is certainly no Miami. You could lift that entire building complex and plop it down anywhere in Miami and people would think it had been there forever. They maybe can make the beach club into it's own entity and release the restaurant into somethi...

There is a lot happening around the general Galleria area so I think with this demolished and the area around this growing it will become more lucrative for this development. Also has great connection to both airports with LBJ and the Tollway right there which is important for big companies.

Cbdallas

A Hotel with some more condo units on the top part of the tower as tall as the FAA would allow them to build.

Cbdallas

I wonder if the city could pass eliminating parking requirements for transit adjacent projects to spur development and ridership going forward and it would also encourage more urban density in the city. I have seen that some other cities have already done this.

Cbdallas

Caven should pay to make that crosswalk in permanent pavers it is enhancing their bottom line anyway.

Cbdallas

Not to worry I am sure it will be many different incarnations in that space as is happening in other spaces. The commercial owners and brokers just want signed tenants they are not concerned with what might suit the area it is just about their coin.

Cbdallas

Another way to energize change for this area between Lemmon to Maple and between Oak Lawn and the tollway is to enforce all parking and report violations ongoing to the city as well as get the local residents to push for one sided street parking. An argument for one sided parking is that these stree...
