Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

I know at least three family groups who've recently moved into this general Wynwood area -- all are 80s/90s East Dallas/Deep Ellum/Expo/Fair Park resident artists and/or musicians, among the first waves of folks to gentrify Bishop Arts & Oak Cliff. All three groups are now making a southern move...

^just thinking out loud, so to speak, but I'd like it if the lower section more affordable dwelling square footage was dedicated to a new museum instead of residential. I'd love to have another variation of the Dallas Contemporary operating inside the Arts District.

they'll probably start scouting around for city dollars to get a trail extension through their properties soon(ish)

so, it's 93% occupied?

Is this still a thing?

^...so, maybe the first one will be the beginning of a wave of construction doubling the Turtle Creek Boulevard residential mail boxes within a decade.

They will be too expensive for most people, and the struggle to include affordable units in each project will be significant.

hahaha

OMG I didn't know that. How stupid

...is there any chatter about these brands cycling out of HPV looking at a location near the Downtown Neimans & FortyFiveTen?

^hahahaha I was going to say The Sundance Square of Dallas!!! It'll be nice if "Discovery" District turns into a memorable place people seek out, like Rockefeller Center, or Sundance Square. Since ATT's Spirit of Communication is naked, does anyone think the righteous folks of Dallas will ...

I wonder if there's a big company looking for a 500,000 sq ft block of prime office space.

You know... there's been so much happening in downtown I keep forgetting about this deal. ATT is spending a lot of money to build a pedestrian environment. Remarkable even if the result is average.

I would have to think, thought, Dallas is just about perfect for Uber to strengthen the brand, test flying taxi prototypes and marketing plans. It's really no surprise Dallas joins Los Angeles to work out the kinks in the science fiction flying car product.

I like having the physical separation between these neighborhoods. That separation is the cornerstone allowing the unique characteristics of Deep Ellum come into being -- since the beginning, too. Having elevated thru-traffic lanes is fine by me, so long as the two street grids are allowed to connec...

^With Lowe's, I'm not sure the advantages Dallas carried would have ever been enough to overcome the hometown advantage Charlotte had.

Dallas seems to be the future for Uber, though.

Maybe a good plan, presented in the right way, will one day resonate in the right way with residents. Elevating the stature of the shopping center could do wonders for the neighborhood.

Is there a spa at HPV?

what's EDM?

Losing a popular site is too bad, but the new 7-11 is a sure sign of a growing neighborhood, one that needs more of the mundane conveniences. Something will replace the Orange House.

This is more Expo Park than Deep Ellum, though, right?

One of these days, someone's going to come along and figure out a way to store data that makes these data centers obsolete. The deal is for 100% of personal property taxes — taxes on the servers, cabling and equipment that form the heart of a data center — and 85% of improvement taxes for Google ove...

I think it's the original, from, like, before the turn of the century.

I wouldn't mind if some of that tree covered land turns into a prairie wetland.... force fed by the relief tunnel. Biodiversity increases quality of life for people and wildlife, and in the spirit of Dallas would increase the eco-tourist economy.

Hopefully the concentration, intensity and volume of the new discharge site will be used to maintain a permanent riparian meadow -- a keystone component to a managed wilderness. In a natural state, lowland forests of the Post Oak Savannah and Blackland Prairie are regularly cleared by the force of a...

Encouraging signs of a city fully emerging from dormancy, this infusion of corner store concepts and smaller grocers from around the country seems to be reaching the point at which time hometown innovators will perfect an array of models filling every niche channel as directed by the needs downtown'...

I keep wondering which company will be the one to stake a claim in Victory Park with a giant office consolidation.

HRC Convention Ctr?

I think the one in Atlanta is busy all the time.

^and I'm not sure if the first attempt to redevelop Valley View (Ikon) was even a deal when TxDOT was planning the LBJ redo

^Maybe Shepard Farley commission?

um.... I like it yellow!

Is this building expandable?

Here's hoping the aesthetic disappointment from some of the early Harwood Int'l buildings will become the neutral canvas effect for subsequent projects' pieces of flair. Thanks for the pics Mac-he

^hahahaha

I have very high hopes that Southwest will turn their side of Love Field into a fantastic corporate-everything center and leading edged of aerotropolis development in this country. Hopefully the region's transit agencies will be able to function as a single entity sooner rather than later, we need t...

If it stays at Fair Park, I imagine The Cotton Bowl, The Band Shell and the Music Hall would be packed full for the performers eager to play to the LGBT crowd. It's so silly that many of the institutions and/or organizations in Dallas sell themselves short as far as playing on a domestic stage rathe...

Maybe start with Cinco de Mayo and finish with Pride Weekend?

Fair Park needs to have some parkland, for sure, but first and foremost the facilities are for exhibition and should be put to that use as much a possible.

I not so sure the old ways of monitoring a cycle apply with enough accuracy anymore, especially in Dallas. There will be ups and down, of course, but Dallas is in a two or three generation 'master cycle' of increasing density. What could be identified as a beginning and end (...or near beginning and...

I think trains going to DFW move slow through parts of Irving to keep the schedule as it would have been if all the stations were built. The three deferred stations are Loop 12, South Las Colinas and Carpenter Ranch. I still think Southwest should pay for a people mover from their DART station to Lo...

What should really be surprising is that expensive apartments and condos had been scarce around in the greater downtown area. The fast pace of building expensive, concentrated dwellings in 'the city' is doing double duty, making up for a lost generation and building to address the increase in folks ...

There 80s crash had a pretty healthy dose of residential, too. Crime was a root cause of the crash back then, and that's probably not a factor this time around. The region never stopped growing, that's when Plano started taking everything fleeing the Dallas CBD. Considering the pace and aggressive n...

There's so much room and opportunity for Middle Income dwelling development south of the Trinity River it's almost shocking. Just like neglect and irresponsible policies created the Trinity River Forest, neglect and irresponsible policies have created South of the river potential for an economic cor...

re:the cycle... I will be more surprised if new development in the greater downtown area is consistent to the previous 3-5 years instead of increasing 15-25%. Unless an overall domestic slow down / recession creeps upon us, we should all expect more than what we've had. The cycle Dallas is riding ri...

I thought ATT was using some clout to get that tournament and course back into the top tier of PGA events...?

HPV needs a hotel.

Is South Coast Plaza really that big a deal?

Who owns the old Reunion Arena parcels again? One of the Hunt Family companies owns all or most of the land between their hotel and observation tower and Jefferson Blvd Viaduct -- I'm not sure if Hunt owns that parking garage or not. Hunt used to own the convention center parking lot E, but traded ...

I'm trying to understand the playing field here, for Highland Park Village. Clearly in the South Central US, only Houston has a similar shopping center concentration of luxury brands, but how does HPV stack up against concentrated luxury brand in other metros? Since the great recession, HPV has unde...

Was Uber the ride share software company recently going public? and the IPO was distressed by deep intentions to buy privatize public transportation systems? I don't know the bend of this source, but apparently Uber is the ride sharer stating goals for bus and train riders: https://48hills.org/2019/...
