YOU'RE ALL MANIFESTING THIS INTO EXISTENCE. HAVEN'T YOU READ THE SECRET?! Don't invoke powers you don't understand! (Obviously I'm joking. But we already have one terrible CVS in the neighborhood and NO DOUBT somebody is going to knock down the Mexican grocery store with the dank af taco bar and bu...

What's up with the developer dragging their feet on finishing putting glass on the garage? Are they really gonna leave this garage's butthole exposed to the world?

Tivo_Kenevil

West Coast University at Dallas. Lol

"Urby just filed plans with the state for the first of two towers planned on the site."

So tower 1 will be 27 stories ..a bit shorter than the 30 that was first advertised.

Hillwood also likes boring concepts.

Does it fall within existing zoning requirements? I don't know the height of the towers and if a variance would be required. Yes, they can. The developer also wants to sink the garage and put a green area to connect the shopping area. But the fancy neighborhood doesn't want to attract "outside...

Prepare for the incoming onslaught of Pitchforks

39 stories for all residential is huge. Size here is beyond what I expected

Tivo_Kenevil

IDK, CM operates on their own watch. They've had plans for the Oak Cliff store for years too. They seem not to be in a rush for more Dallas locales

Tivo_Kenevil

Not enough police presence. And the city should have had designated areas for the protest. The EMC should have been closed off.

Not that I'm aware of. I don't find anything up-thread. Do you have reason to think they have?

Hmmm.. I thought they did. But I may be mistaken

If Dallas built more mixed use and spec office space it would fill up fast. The sight of a building boom would make other developers jump in on the game as well. We just need to get some of these bigger projects going. IDK. I think many developers are waiting to see how the pandemic plays. Now woul...

It will be mixed use. 35 stories for parkin' , 19 office. Ground level retail.

I haven't driven down here in quite some time, but does anyone know if construction is still happening here? I am not sure if there was a webcam similar to what they had with Klyde Warren. Yes, there's constant construction on 35 .. The Ewing exit is blocked off and there's crews out of here workin...

Wow! But also, good riddance!

Why good riddance? That place was a pivotal business for that block. Everyone should want business to thrive; especially in transit focused locations

I know McDonald’s has been tearing down and then rebuilding stores. I know of three in the Irving area. Could it be that this location is being remodeled?

Hopefully that's the case, but the sign was removed. Idk.

Not that I know of. That's one of the busiest McDonald's I know of.

They'll move the manufacturing to Austin and the HQ.

There looks to be a drive thru and a small parking lot by trulucks.. the architecture looks okay.. wish it was less glass and more in line with the crescent. I'm just glad the trulucks building is being scrapped. Awful, not sure why it was approved to begin with. It Didn't fit the area architectural...

Austin taking over!

Austin's new plan for their metro looks like they're doubling down on downtown.

The rich get richer

They'll move the manufacturing to Nevada. HQ to Austin prolly

Tivo_Kenevil

Might as well not build anything. By 2040 there will be hyperloop transit lol

Tivo_Kenevil

Now if Dart could just sell their useless transit centers!

Do you think uber will survive through this pandemic? IDK, the drivers I've talked to lately have all said they haven't been to DFW in at last 2-3 weeks, and aren't making near what they used to pre-virus. Yeah same with my L.A uber driver friends. One friend said he was out for 10 hrs and only mad...

Interesting so Headington Co and Woods Capitol now own it. It's not big enough for anything massive but hey if they both wanna control the pace of redevelopment in this area its best to own all the land you can. NOw both companies can sit on their property for another 10-20 yrs if they wanna wait f...

Tivo_Kenevil

The only thing that's kinda a bummer is the amount of units. It's not that dense.

There's also a bigger need for more affordable units.

Tivo_Kenevil

This is hardwood were talking about. They will deliver a mediocre result. Book it.

Tivo_Kenevil

Yeah, I've noticed all the new retail there too this past year. I really hope they can make it through this quarantine (hopefully by end of May?). I wonder how the Indian restaurant is doing on the other end. Shiva's was open last month. I haven't been back since. But they certainly are struggling ...

Tivo_Kenevil

Yeah being that and that they removed the pharmacy its customer base just kind of eroded. 7 ELeven took their convenience store business from the DART transit crowd. Add to that 1001 Ross retail has never really returned after its initial lease-up when it comes to the ground floor leasing spaces. R...

A lot of the inner rings burbs are shite.
They get abandoned for newer digs all the time. Just look at Garland and Mesquite.

The facade in the front still has boarded up windows on some rooms. It's not really 100% finished, more like 99%

These landlords gotta be flexible too though; there's an economic hardship that's completely wiping out the customer base for many businesses in the restaurant and hospitality sector. There's bills in place that may provide aid to these small businesses. Landlords need to realize that forcing mass c...

I'm curious how many employers are going to ask themselves why they have so much office space when so many people can effectively work from home.

It's gonna take a while to truly restock shelves cause a friend of mine stopped by Kroger last night and still things like meat and of course toiletries are still empty shelves.

Donnie Nelson should go destroy ..I mean... Re-vamp... Mavs Ball Park over reverchon park.

Hillwood's plan included hotel, office, & residential components. Most new supertall's have multiple aspects now. The new buildings in Downtown Los Angeles are made up of multiple kinds of tenants. I don't know if Dallas can support this kind of development. This is already a thing here tho. We...
