Overall I think they have done a fantastic job on this airport and it is a great asset. Still wish the train stopped there though.

So show me all the new announcements and groundbreakings of tower projects in the Dallas urban core other than what is already under construction. I am concerned that the Central Market mixed use at Lemmon and McKinney could be delayed at this point. Heads are in the ground if you don't think the Da...

Yep I think we are at a place where if it isn't coming out of the ground it won't for quite a while. Dallas had a really good run though with this period of growth.

I used to work on the 44th floor back in the day and I must say it would have made a sweet one floor penthouse. Great views cool triangular layout.

Cbdallas

My idea was to modernize the entire look to appeal to possible renters. Not much context for an old new england look around Dallas.

Cbdallas

Remove the top structure and put in a pool and deck and your done.

I agree I walk all over downtown and this part still feels the most like the downtown from the 1990's all about the office worker and very few live right there. I do however feel that with the new park and the Dart and Mata connections that eventually this area will grow and liven up. I would love t...

I really don't care which one they build I just wish they would add another 200 ft. to the top.

Ackard street south of Downtown might be the place to create the old vibe that Deep Ellum used to have. This process goes on in all big cities. The artist take over an area bars open then later it gentrifies rents go up and the artist move to a new location of affordability. The beat goes on.....

What is the status of the Complete Street project for Knox shouldn't that be kicking off soon?

Cbdallas

Good lord I wish them luck but that space is such a total destination with no access other than walk ups from the Katy Trail. I hope they got an incredible lease based only on sales.

Cbdallas

I agree what is this one story face lift junk going on in what should be a dense urban area.

Cbdallas

Right still no West Village area condo tower options. I really think a nicely situated condo tower somewhere in that vicinity would sell. I would be ready to buy one. How much would you be ready to pay for one? I was thinking between 700,000 to 800,000 would be the range. Obviously it would go much...

Keep them coming and I believe this is near the the new Central Market mixed use project as well. The density is starting to bring all parts of the urban city together.

Eataly going to the burbs would be very painful I hope that does not happen.

Beginning to wonder if Dallas will ever land another big fish downtown. Everyone wants to move here but not to downtown Dallas which is ironic because that is the spoke to our regions mass transit. Oh well suburbia wins again.

The problem with the Gap is that is sits between the low end Old Navy and the upper end Banana Republic and since the middle markets of most retail is vanishing they are hurting and will continue to do so until something can prop back up the middle class consumer. We will see a lot more of this in r...

That is fantastic I wish this type of development was happening at all of the inner urban core DART stations. It would change the city.

Cbdallas

I was just at the one in NYC SOHO and if it ever does come here it will be worth the wait pretty cool place.

Cbdallas

It just needs a new tenant. Would not be surprised to see another large law firm take this and make a presence in the future.

In the end Amazon had to do what they had to do and grabbing the taxpayer money from 2 sites to end up with a bigger total was pretty brilliant also not overtaxing the infrastructure of just one city which is still going to be an issue in both of those locations. From a non business perspective I ha...

If it ends up NYC DC then not very trans-formative and this whole deal ends up being a whole lot of hot air.

Saturday night at about 7pm I rode the red line from Cityplace uptown station down to the convention center to see the Aurora light installation at city hall. It was nice to see the trains full and standing room only heading downtown on a Weekend night. I can't help but think if we could increase pr...

I think the Hines tower will be the puzzle piece that pulls this entire area together as a whole and in the least contributes to more people living there.

Cbdallas

The restaurant business and the way young people eat out has changed pretty dramatically since the hey day of Cafe Express. It is easy to forget that back in the day there were very few options to eat in that area and they filled that void but not the case today so many options and so much more to c...

I have always thought it made the most sense to have a west east and third coast middle spot (Dallas). We will probably find out in a short while. Once the rumors run rampant they don't want to drag it out and get ahead of the dialogue.

This is not the droid you are looking for nothing to see move along.

Strategic 100 North American Infrastructure Report FYI: Other North Texas projects on the list are the the Cotton Belt Regional Rail, the D2 Subway, LBJ East Interstate 635 and the Trinity Lakes TOD Station. https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/10/30/texas-bullet-train-top-infrastructure-pro...

Apparently everyone needs a room to stay in Dallas. I never thought I would see so many high end hotels be built in Dallas but I am glad that we seem to need all of these rooms. Will be a great addition to Harwood district.

Cbdallas

I was wanting it to go across uptown and oaklawn not Park cities it could then turn north on the tollway and serve the next station at NW HWY. I don't care about any stations in the bubble you can bypass them completely unless they want a Dallas Country Club/Highland Park Village station LOL.

Cbdallas

Why not just an underground tunnel from Burbank Station to the terminal with the same moving sidewalks they use in the parking garages. Simple not near as much money and direct terminal access.

Cbdallas

For me what is really the urban issue is that there is no presence through the uptown area from Victory up to the southern border of Highland Park. If there was a line that cut up through there and then went up the tollway to Frisco and all of that development then I think it could be a fairly robus...

Cbdallas

I am glad to hear that there was another issue. I was on the Green line train downtown and we had no idea why the delay but it seemed strange that the train would stop and sit in between each station until we past PEARL when we went back to normal speed to Fair Park Station. My point was that as Dal...

This also "Never in my real estate career have I seen so many national law firms opening Dallas offices. It is simply unprecedented," Phil Puckett, Executive Vice President and leader of CBRE's Law Firm Practice Group in Dallas, said in a new report. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea...

The train corridor through downtown Dallas this past Sunday was super clogged with the green line taking people to the fair. It took 45 minutes to get from Market center station to Fair park station with most of the delay from West End to Pearl. If we continue to grow as it seems we are we will need...

Cbdallas

Surely that merry go round is just a cut and past place holder until they figure out what to do there. It looks ridiculous. I heard the sky bridge connecting the Perot all the way to the Arts District would be a phase 3 project at a later date.

Cbdallas

This looks like they might exceed my expectations for this development. So excited to see this get done.

Cbdallas

If you really want to see this effect and the routing out of a city visit San Francisco. It feels like Blade Runner with the really rich behind closed doors and the rest on sidewalks with empty run down store fronts. I really don't know what the answer is to this as the online shopping and now food ...

They could at least run a Haunted House in the building to generate some cash for October.

Went to the Galleria a couple of weekends ago on a Saturday only because I was nearby and thought lets check it out needed a few things. Wow how sad the mighty has fallen. Store fronts closed across several sections. Hardly anyone there felt like I was at an outlet mall. Maybe they can convert the t...

With the improvements coming to the building and the new park nearby coming hopefully they can secure a new lease to absorb this loss. That part of downtown is on the move so I hope this doesn't stifle that energy.

Cbdallas

I am afraid their restaurant model is from decades ago and does not attract millennial types. Maybe it is time for something new and fresh there. I tried the new model on McKinney and used to eat at the old one for many years but I don't see many people there. I thought it would do well there but th...

But will they be able to sell alcohol not just beer and wine.

Cbdallas

Will be exciting to see this area once all of those apartments being built are filled with people. This are should be very energized even on Monday evenings and will end up a cool destination on the streetcar.

Cbdallas

If they would just put 8 stories of apartments above all of this I would be ok. I just don't understand why that would not be feasible for that area with Cityplace and Uptown right there. I said the same thing with Turtle Creek Village why did they not build it up with living mixed into the retail.
