Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

I was really hoping HPEnterprise would relocate to Dallas, bringing the remnants of EDS back to the Blackland Prairie. Good for Houston.... I mean good for Spring?!?!?!

Looks like downtown is going to become a scene.

Amazon keeps adding to the workforce they have at the Galleria, too. Maybe that'll be the one that helps Midtown gain some traction.

^because the flashflood water has no way to get downstream, it backs up. Duh

We could certainly have a world class series of elevated lush smorgasbord parks throughout the flood channel if an underground flash flood drainage and cistern-catacomb system is installed. Build a tunnel similar to the $200 million Mill Creek project to allow the rapid movement of overfill beyond t...

Is LaReunion still taking a couple of the loft apartments for Artists in Residence?

http://lareuniontx.org/about/

LRTX is currently working with Green Arc to provide residences for working artists through the Flora Lofts project in the heart of the Dallas Arts District.

Needs more residential?

Those top floors are really working the view!

The tunnels ought to have access to the subway station, that does not bypass the fare gates.

The tunnels really ought to have access into the subway.

When a distribution center is announced, the population center will begin to get flooded with HEBs. North Texas will probably require two or more distribution center to really cover the area.

Too frequently we hear about the ways Dallas is at a disadvantage because there's no beach or mountains, lumping outdoor activity opportunities into a 'nothing to do there' group of boring places. But what Dallas has is different, and forever, the people in charge of making the Trinity River channel...

I'd rather see an art deco masterpiece on this spot. Rococo is similar enough to the present day standard bearer...

^Looks like it'll be Grand Prairie for the cricket stadium... and USA Cricket’s headquarters and main high-performance center. https://exbulletin.com/sports/561232/ Major League Cricket signs long-term lease to develop the first MLC cricket stadium in Grand Prairie By: Malcom Chakery GRAND PRAIRIE, ...

^hahahaha Maconahey is on top of it! I had to go rewatch that video

I thought the orange line moved slower to account for the stations which have been deferred. When the stations are eventually opened, the train schedule stays the same.

^traditionally, everything westish of Woodall Rodgers had been considered Oak Lawn. Cedar Springs, Turtle Creek, Uptown, Victory Park, Harwood are areas of Oak Lawn, though the definition hasn't held up over time.

The boundaries are certainly getting blurred as perceptions have changed, but the scene in Dallas has never had the contiguous geographic coverage it should have.

I cant think of anything to say except thank you for that TOOL

For once, I'd to see a big development not have a name. Name the buildings, name the park, but an 11 acre development doesn't have to fall under one umbrella name.

The impending wave of development washing over Oak Lawn for at least the next generation hopefully will free the gayborhood from Caven's grasp. The LGBTQlmnop scene in Dallas should have a much larger footprint than a couple blocks. The concentration of clubs, bars and discotheques is great, histori...

Dallas Marketing News hahaha It's a pretty big success that this property is actually in play. Remembering all the excitement Spire created several years ago puts some perspective on just how far the greater downtown area has progressed. Victory Park was just starting to get some traction after the ...

I've always thought West End might be the best downtown residential location.

Whatever 890 feet, I want more.

^could you imagine what could come from HQ relocation of ERCOT to Smart District? The state control of that non-profit entity is genetic, but putting the Texas electric grid operator in a business center is promising and exciting, at least to me. Separating the grid operator from the oil patch bound...

Any company with a big workforce in both Dallas and Houston, or considering a big workforce in Dallas and Houston will be drawn to Newpark/Smart District. A 90 minute train ride is a huge incentive, and (so far) does not have depend on public funding.

^word It's a fun exercise in learning about the different employment centers, though. One of the most important thing I learned about the CBD/Downtown Dallas in that exercise is that it's really a different sort of employment center, old school, while the incredibly successful West Plano/Frisco and ...

You could just as easily day uptown is simply the most recent expansion of downtown. That's the way I see it. West Plano/Frisco is already on track to pass the CBD as an employment center. Include the uptown subdistrict in the CBD, and downtown does have a good numbers lead. We're in the middle of a...

^dont forget about NYC and Los Angeles...
Back in the day, The Crescent and Ms Hunt was featured on Lifestyles of the Rich and famous.

Somewhere in Collin County, I'd like to see an arts/cultural/community district of some sort, something that serves the population within 10-12 miles but is complimentary to the institutions in Fort Worth and Dallas. I'd like to see the vast corporate presence in Plano/Frisco really contribute to th...

Field Street is popular, we have two Field Street developments sites.

I hope Hunt Realty Investment leaves some room so the Perot Museum of Science and Nature can expand as the green heart of Uptown, plan the 1.5 acre park around the museum expansion. Maybe the Crow Family can convince the Hunt Family to join the Perot Family (enticing new legacy billionaire families ...

I still wonder about an energy company like Exxon moving a lot of desk jobs to downtown Dallas, a quick train ride to the scientists in Houston. I'd really like one of the other oil giants to ease into downtown Dallas, one of the companies like Chevron with a clear strategy to transition energy gene...

now maybe ZaZa will add a tower...

The potential of the location is finally paying off. ATT's destination is an easy walk, too. The convention center is finally getting the adjacent destinations it needs, becoming more competitive. And the HSR station, also walking distance.... watch this side of town surge for a generation.

Unless something happens and the cities' economies stop growing, the increase of trips taken between Dallas and Houston will keep every train and plane full. When people come to like the train ride, Texas Central will find a way to increase trips OR another HSR route will be added.

Does this include Tenet's move to Flower Mound?

That's new to me. So great to see these midsized apartments starting to pepper East Dallas. I've never really thought of this immediate area as Deep Ellum or Expo Park.... Will be totally interesting to see what happens when I-30 is sunk and a park goes over to reconnect the area.

Could also be back office jobs, not associated with the need for speed. I saw a show one time about the transition to nyse digital transaction. Something about brokers in Chicago noticing they were always getting beaten by the NYC brokers... So the servers used by the NYC brokers had to have hundred...

I'd like to see commodities like oil, natural gas, electricity, cotton, soybeans, wheat, beef, pork traded in Dallas.

^following that lead, I look forward to the day trains run from Frisco to Love Field-Oak Lawn-Arts District-Cedars.

I would imagine that side of the convention center will get redone.

Too bad Mill Creek wasn't brought back. More than anything else, that would have made East Dallas a better place to live.

This forum is not the appropriate site for this topic. Thread closed.

^shouldnt you be blaming the NRA propoganda for thoses murders?

The reason for this isn't the pandemic, but the more recent political agenda to defund police agencies. When discussing this issue with others, the conversations invariably lead back to downtown Dallas and the assassination of five police officers that happened there. In my opinion, this POV is sti...

Seems like the McKinney airport will build on the corporate travelers in Frisco/West Plano; that's the second largest employment center in North Texas and the greatest advantage over competitor-upstart Meacham.

I agree the forum should avoid denigrating others based on political affiliation. But asking about a that deal, calling it a pipe dream and a politically motivated action by the president is what I want to know about too. If politician makes headlines to claim that TikTok could be used as an arm of ...

Good timing! So it'll be five years (?) before it's all up and running?

That means some Cedars construction starts next year with massive redevelopment beginning in 2022.
