They have put LED lights around the giant rectangular window on the east facing top floor of this building. Looks pretty good at night, very similar to the lit square on one arts plaza.

residential - 20 floors of residential + 5 floors of parking garage = 25 floors

office tower - 10 floors of office + 5 floors of parking garage = 15 floors

Spice in the city - restaurant inside DP&L - finally got Commerce St signage this week. Should help increase their customer base.

ya know i live across the street and there was no signage up saying this was a starbucks. I wonder if i can walk in, or if i have to be part of the at&t gang.

I'd love to see the lot behind Dalpark, next to Interurban Building get developed into something vertical (not a parking garage). That would be the game changer. There's really no point in putting any hope in new-build project on this side of town though. The low hanging fruit of remodeling old buil...

They should really just change Jackson Street to Parking Street, because it honestly has more parking spaces than any other street in the CBD.

I agree, the tract has stood in its current state for some time, but once they got the piers drilled and rebar in place, it seems to be moving along now. Anyone know if their are plans for ground level retail? dry cleaners? or is this just going to be the standard downtown parking garage.

Noticed these lights on my side as well. Hard to see, this was taken around 7 last night. Interested to see what comes of this.

I agree with the two seats statement. Google earth measurements put the Akard sidewalk at 10-12 ft wide, so that would be a more reasonable concept.

dpl-1202

they put up window wraps on the first floor of the adolphus tower showing a coffee house patio concept stretching out onto the sidewalk. the sidewalk isn't nearly wide enough to support this pipedream on that section of Akard, and that street is already down to two lanes...

Saint Louis architect Preston Bradshaw's Baker Hotel is the hipped-roof brown one peeking out. That's where Whitacre Tower is now. To the foreground is George Dahl's Southwestern Life Building, southeast corner of Akard and Main, where Pegasus Plaza lies now. not to be a hater- but i really wish Wh...

what tower is that in this photo behind magnolia? i know thats the current placement of pegasus plaza. Never knew there was a tower that big before it. Southwestern Life Insurance Building, built in 1912 and designed by Lang & Witchell. At 16-stories and designed in the Sullivanesque style, in ...

i know i've been heavy spamming on this Salsa Limon place, but I finally ate their this past weekend (actually i ate twice - breakfast by myself and then took the fiancee for lunch lol). it was tasty as hell though.

^^ With Uptown filling out, I can see vertical density take a huge spark in the Knox-Henderson area, as well as Deep Ellum. I'm hopeful that we will see tall, hopefully a supertall or two, rise in the CBD, and hopefully tall vertical projects in the Cedars, which is just ripe for density developmen...

Looks like Salsa Limon has soft opened... at least there were a few people that looked like customers after 2pm. Also noticed that a nail salon will be taking the other space on Akard so expect to see more of that ugly film removed from the windows. Holy cow, that looks terrific! still no announcem...

I walk by this Fireside Pies location every day with my dogs. Quite a bit was being done a month back, but as of late, all signage is down and the whitewashed drywall is complete.
