... to properly implement express train services more than two tracks are needed in the railroad corridor. Especially after the various lines merge together. Outside where the lines merge, well placed passing sidings might work whether at or between stations. But these passing sidings will only wor...

So, is this the new look? This one resembles the pictures shown for Field Street District - no longer Shraman South Asian Museum...

Also, where does this fit into the "cycle"?

For most of this land, I would take residential over office every time.

...one of these days, somebody is going to come up with a new kind of computer that renders hundreds of billions of dollar investments in data centers obsolete.

Hopefully, these server warehouse buildings will be easily converted into something else.

Quite a few champions of this bad idea need to be called out. A serious question for you capseritl, because you would know off the top of your head: How many of those champions and direct reports of those champions are still making decisions about this golf course, adjacent horse park, and overall ...

First Baptist Academy of Dallas recently moved from the downtown campus to far East Dallas. This location adjacent to the Mesquite city limits is a pretty good indicator where many of the congregation live.

^I would be more than okay if the Reverchon Recreation Center & parking got torn down, dug out and replaced with a parking garage podium, three(ish) stories of new recreation center, gym, community resource center and green rooftop park.

^Fort Worth has needed a new concert venue for a long long time. How many large venues per million residents should there be? Because the region has been growing pretty fast, and was likely under-served. One aspect of proper management at Fair Park I anticipate is a thorough renovation of Dos Equis ...

I like it!

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 conne...

are they asking for financial assistance? if no, then build it. it's nice

Is this still a thing?

I wonder if a vertical mall would make sense here.

Let's just look at the Red Line for simplicity sake to verify my point of view. One could add stations at: RL Thorton, S. Lamar, Blackburn, Henderson, NW. Highway, Royal Ln., Beltline, and Cotton Belt Junction; and not effect the ridership at the existing stations. Adding stations would make the DA...

Where did reelfx end up?

I remember a few years back there was some talk of the Peak & Elm area, northeast of Deep Ellum ("East Ellum"), as a new frontier for development. Besides It'll Do, is there much happening there? During the 90s heydays in Deep Ellum, East Dallas had a small but muy potente Latino bar ...

That deal ATT is working on deserves mention. It could really help jump start the big development (Smart District?) behind City Hall AND could help jump start the former Reunion Arena/DMN site. Should ATT make the downtown cluster an amenity for the top tech workers, a string of tech-worker relocati...

^word.... I'm not particular about my ice, but since, like 15 years ago, I've known people who will drive to Sonic just for the ice.

Thanks to Austin55 from the Fort Worth forum:

I was being sarcastic... North Texas may be up to 150,000 a year

...More than a million people moved to Dallas last year, and 5% of them can afford homes at $750,000 and above, according to the report. Article: https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/las-vegas-dallas-and-fort-collins-colorado-poised-to-be-real-estate-hotbeds-in-coming-years-210148 wow, more than ...

Encouraging, too, as this stretch of Dallas fills up seems like we could anticipate something taller with more compelling architecture.

Seems about time Dallas gets a big relocation from the East coast... Into this billion dollar development.

^Thanks Tucy! that's a big area... I'll say the population ~within loop 12 should double, increase by 500,000.

For the 500,000 resident population, I'm thinking inside Loop 12, broadly.

^Totally agree with that, but residential units in the greater downtown area - CBD, East Dallas, Oak Lawn/Uptown, West Dallas, Oak Cliff, South Dallas/Cedars - has increased steadily for years now and shows no sign whatsoever of coming to the end of "a cycle." These taller residential buil...

...we need to get another 40+ story tower going in the CBD.

You're forgetting the 100s of billions dollars it costs to operate the vehicles that use I-345.

Maybe this arena is fort Worth getting ahead of the curve. And hopefully when the Maverick get a new arena, the current arena will be repurposed for the same events as dickies

North Texas:Bay Area::Plano:Dallas

did i type that right?

That would be a great place to live!

^The Bass Family had something to do with it.

So, why did Dallas sell this land?

A bus is the best public transportation to get people in and around the central Dallas neighborhoods. Oak Lawn to Fair Park, Lower Greenville to Bishop Arts would generally show the maximum trip times for getting around on a bus; the a vintage streetcar or a newfangled batter-powered streetcar is an...

...maybe the iconic design will come with the adjoining hotel

West End needs more residential!

All concepts combined will add almost 4000 additional rooms per night. At first, I thought that was alot... but then I considered the general population growth and employment growth in Irving AND the increased traffic at DFW, so, ya, that's about right! Not soon enough we'll see hotel accommodation...

Nevermind at the airport!

I really wouldn't mind seeing a shift of the edgier galleries to Deep Ellum and Expo/Fair Park with Design District trending toward the higher end galleries.... the flow from Design District thru Victory Park to the Arts District is a fantastic corridor of citified experience catering to the art wor...

For those big days at Fair Park, doesn't DART run passenger trains on the service track thru South Dallas for additional capacity? Hopefully, those tracks through South Dallas/Cedars will expand for regular service, opening up a new part of town for the pedestrian environment. In regard to the Silve...

ZaZa is going to have to expand or get left behind.

^Clearly we need more trains!

I think this line will eventually exceed expectations. The North Dallas neighborhoods are happily vapid, rebuke change of any sort and will one day undergo a gentrification of the mindset while the build environment changes just a little. The trains will be full even after the line is double tracked...

That's what you sounded like to your grandparents' generation when you were a smart 20-something!

Somethings never change, and this is one of them! Throughout the ages, it's repeated.

I wish they would revive the exterior green tile. That was a splash of color like no other. They were or maybe still are supposed to make some kind of convention center connection to the park. At least I heard that once while touring the convention space. The tile would be so nice! With good park i...
