Idk the owners fought to preserve the building..and won the right to operate with less parking. This seems like a set back to me. Looks like they plan to rebuild and likely had insurance

JRD, hey a random bird told me Thompson Hotel at 1401 Elm has a pretty extensive pre-opening job listing, for well, not even being opened/finished yet. Might be a different brand, but, hey. Passing it along.

Good to hear, lots of hard working folks need a job at the moment.

Starting at a low 800K!

While COVID-19 has impacted many proposed developments in North Texas, it has done little to change the ambitious master plan for Trinity Groves. In fact, additional portions of the West Dallas development could break ground by the end of the year. First to go vertical would be 366 new apartment uni...

19 stories. Should be bigger.

800' footers just aren't a reality in this climate. And they weren't prior to that , in Dallas anyway. In all likeliness, the FAA request was just testing the waters by the developer.

Poor pedestrian infrastructure is partly why the scooters are such an issue. According to the Downtown Residents FB group, people riding the scooters on sidewalks are "terrorizing" pedestrians and in several instances, running over their dogs. In a few headlines I've scrolled by, it also ...

IDK see what the problem is with the scooters. City hall complaining as if the downtown pedestrian infrastructure was good.

That's honestly the best thing that could happen at this point. I wouldn't be mad at all if that happen.

I liked the white finish.

Went to uptown with some buddies tonight.. drove through downtown tonight with some friends, can't believe how packed the discovery district was at 11:30 pm. It was slammed..

It looks like a mid rise in these pics

Haha this so grotesque it actually is amusing to look at lol

Why can't we just scrap it? It's ugly.

I think looking at Asian countries who've dealt with epidemics more recently are a good proxy on how to determine how downtowns react to these circumstances.

I was in downtown Wednesday night. I actually thought it was quite lively for week day. This is where having more people in downtown can help mitigate these closures. The workforce really is hurting the businesses that rely on the lunch crowd. I can only imagine that all the tunnel restaurants are d...

Hillwood has been sitting there for a while now.. my Guess is that if he had trouble getting a tenant in the previous climate; it will be even more difficult now. I wouldn't think much of this.

Some of you guys overrate houston so much on here its laughable.. i guess its a grass is always greener type deal, I work there every other week, its very bland, most high rises are no different than here.

Back in the day people didn't live across the street from it. Back then downtown was a office complex where people stayed in a hotel room or went home to the suburban homes outside of the CBD. I assume they will end up lowering it some but anyone who moves in Downtown will notice a lifelong change ...

Converting streets to pedestrian/bike only does nothing to address the fundamental truth that Dallas is either hot or storming 80% of the year. Hyperbolic much? Dallas has excellent weather for walking outside of day time in the summer and the fact its flat makes ideal for biking. The real problem ...

Beckley has some potential given the pedestrian improvements on Commerce. this could be a nice area. However, I would like to see mixed use along Beckley. There's already commerical along Beckley, I wish a developer would come along and build a little mid rise with some small storefronts. The Trinit...

"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.
