They have 20+ story towers in their master plan. They just haven’t gotten to those yet... I agree they should be going bigger by now, especially with how quickly office is filling up in that area

All of the $5 billion dollar mile projects (Now called the north platinum corridor because so many more developments have been added) are actually still in the works. Nothing has been completely cancelled, Even if you take away wade park, every other project in the $5 bill. mile is chugging along, a...

More Auspire Renderings, plus I found a construction timeline of 18-20 months for the Auspire project. Avison Young will handle leasing of the office space, which has a construction schedule of 18 to 20 months. FWIW, its stated in a DMN article that the entire Gate development is supposed to be comp...

oh wow... this rendering

Heres the rendering grabbed from the DMN article. Looks like it'll be two 16 story towers, and one 11 story tower in the middle... It doesn't seem like they are going with the same european inspired architecture that the rest of the project is following. https://dallasnews.imgix.net/1540915439-unnam...

Oh wow If that funding really does come through, It looks like Wade Park might actually get off the ground. A lot can happen with $850 Million, and if its all for only phase 1, Somethings GOT to be built. I wonder if all the tenants that backed out will come back? or new tenants will sign on once th...

I think everyone is right about the wall of parking garages but with that hotel emptying out right into the park and some minor changes to the parking lots on the east side you have potential to create a nice path from east to west. At this point I would not underestimate Plano's desire to make a p...

They look at Frisco with salivation and want that here. This is all on Dallas. Nothing in Frisco has been built with a giant surface lot until you get to nearly Prosper. The most anti-urban thing Frisco has done recently is slightly widen their main street. And the downzoning of US75 to drive-thus ...

Hm the HSR station looks pretty sick in this rendering... Love it or hate it I still think the odyssey is gonna be a fun visual element on the skyline, and since its gonna light up like the reunion ball and the omni hotel, it'll be super fun at night. https://dallasnews.imgix.net/1536338629-Landscap...

DAFW

Yeah I'm pretty skeptical that it will be anything that's too earth shattering. We shall see, but I'd think it will likely be much of the same of what's up there now. perhaps. I wish they would try something new and out of the box though. It'd be a great place to try something different up there wi...

So many ideas and thoughts whirring in my head for this place, I'll throw them out just for the sake of discussion: - I think what excites me most about this project is that Fehmi Karahan is going to be involved...

Is the Frisco Skyhouse still a thing? Didn't see it mentioned and its been quiet for a long time. Also checked the developer web page and didn't see any news about it. The Frisco Skyhouse been under construction for a month now. They are on the fifth or sixth floor I believe, I drove past there yes...

did they ever paint those brown wood fins white as it was supposed to be in the renderings? it would make such a huge difference.

These parking ratios are getting seriously out of control. Cypress Waters, just like any office listing, touts parking ratios as one of the key strengths of their properties. Yet, if you ever go through Cypress Waters, you will find seas empty concrete even though most of the buildings are fully oc...

Nice find! I really like this project it has character too it. So towards the end of the video the apartments that are under construction is that from Frisco station ? Actually, in that video, the apartments shown at the end are part of the first phase of The Gate. Everything north of John Hickman ...

DAFW

hmm, not much has been announced on the gate and it's likely because the developer has been working on infrastructure for while now. Many have probably forgotten it existed... But here's an update anyways because why not! https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/20746396_114582902493534_266626...

havent seen much about that but isnt it only office space? not sure it fits in with the retail experiences that are the Shops of Legacy and Legacy west.

Isn't that pedestrian bridge finished yet? They were working on that a year ago. Top If there is a pedestrian bridge (you literally have no idea it is there if you park in the garages and walk onto the main legacy west strip)... you would have to walk completely around the del frisco's at the begin...

If the mall does get built, I'm not sure what kind of retail environment we'll have by then. There have been many store/chain closures in the last 2 years. This may not be the traditional mall of old we're used to. I do see this as being a much more futuristic version of a shopping mall, geared tow...

It could be a city within a city, but these developments would have to work better together to create a more cohesive and walkable environment. I absolutely agree, shuttles or more definitive walking paths and pedestrian connections between all three developments would be paramount to ensure greate...

Oooooo finally something more exciting released about this mysterious mall development. When it was announced last year that they would be putting a mall here, I was expecting a small strip mall. Nothing special at all. Now after reading about it and seeing what appear to be VERY early renderings (f...

Whew imagine that... another legacy project that if it does happen, will almost immediately be successful because of the name it would carry alone.

In all we'd have the OG Shops of legacy, Legacy West, and Legacy East (?) Its a city within a city..

I'm happy they are retiring the phrase because the scope of the new developments along that small stretch of the DNT is already way over $5 billion dollars...

^The museum and others are lobbying the city for >$100 million to build an office building, parking and walking deck from KWPark to the museum, so why not lobby to use that much money to create another park?

That hotel will be the best looking piece of that mall. Stonebriar looks awful. I KNOW! Stonebriar is LONG overdue for an exterior and interior makeover...

I was thinking about that earlier, The venues all have different amounts of seating which are geared to varying ranks of traveling bands/artists. Plus not all venues will host all genres of music.

DAFW

It looks great! I vaguely remember some early articles about this hotel was that it was supposed to be completed in 2019... Not sure about that now. Maybe 2020?

DAFW

ok.
I said IF its only competition was the toyota music factory, not that it was. Havent heard of some of those venues that you listed. Thanks

DAFW

I really want the land to just be given to the city, and let it sit for a while until its time for the next big thing. With all that land in such a prime location on the DNT so many amazing things could be done there. I'd hate for it to go to waste.

DAFW

its actually over a 45 minute drive... :/

DAFW

Ugh i just saw the preliminary plans and it looks so basic.... If they cant pull off anything new and exciting in those 7 acres then it will most definitely flop. :/

DAFW

^ As in it wont be successful? maybe... If its only competition is the Toyota music factory in Irving... Im not sure they will be in much competition due to their distance from each other..

DAFW

Okay now thats a concept. Turning the land that wade park was supposed to go on, into a giant waterpark. The langham resort could stay and act as the Waterparks resort. The hole would probably still be used as the hotel's parking garage though.. :/

Oh well.

Nope, they moved it to early 2018 :/ The group had been expecting to hear by Friday, which was when they were told Amazon would have its shortlist.
