Just passed by the neighborhood... Absolutely no progress.What a shame. Edit: well...

They care about their jobs.. so I could see them going with tearing it down just to have something else to do and they can point to created jobs/ economic impact! look we did something! Fair is fair, I am not a traffic engineer, and I did just use an anecdote to present my case. :mrgreen: Morris an...

I'm a long term Dallasite :D , that while not being a traffic engineer, I am an engineer used to reading long technical reports that hide flaws in fluffy renderings and emotional pandering. Perhaps, your fluff reading abilities are good. But perhaps your road progrnasatcations are shite too. You're...

Were the deck park plans abandoned? I hadn't heard anything so I just assumed it was going to happen eventually. Well, this is better than it was before that's for sure. The Legacy developments are so inward facing that it will be difficult to glue them together without a deck park. I don't see why...

Tivo_Kenevil

Tacos, good luck. They'll have some very stiff competition!

Food aside, great design.

Tivo_Kenevil

Not exactly my definition of a plaza given that it's mostly grass. But nonetheless, it can serve as a nice pocket park for the neighborhood

I forget about that accident. Any word ??

Must we allow all parking monoliths to not even try to cover up their buttholes?

Tivo_Kenevil

Great addition, totally agree. Make downtown a Brickell^^

Cranes a'comin'

Something Unreported is about to go down on greenbriar st. with direct access to the Trinity... More affordable 1M townhomes i presume..

Tivo_Kenevil

How affordable!

Yes, highly recommend. The donuts are really loaded up with toppings. And they have lots of baked goods on sale other than donuts. They even sell popcorn!

Their hours of operation are good for a donut shop too. They close at 6!

I'm curious if they are tearing down the little church or building around it.

They tore down the church.

Has anyone seen the new retail spaces over there on Davis by the Sherwin Williams?! Last i went over there they looked like stucco turds.

Tivo_Kenevil

I think the Tom Thumb has been a major plus. I go to that Tom thumb once a week. That's the biggest draw for me!

Tivo_Kenevil

Thanks for posting! How exciting!

Pompous would be the names of some of these poorly made buildings with their cheap and terrible looking architecture. I Feel free to criticize the architecture and the build quality and the names (wishing the Chole had not a mis-print), but the names you gave implicated the renters, not the archite...

It's not the same though.

Meh.. close enough.

The project was always planned to be a generic apartment wrap. It just so happened that they were forced to incorporate some vestiges of the old building. So it's like 70% generic apartment wrap project now.

Per Twitter D2 Passed. Again. https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2021/03/dart-d2-subway-dallas-city-council-resolution-vote/ So they split D2 into zone A and B? Does that mean its over?

Austin taking over, telling u guys. I know your comment was kind of tongue in cheek, but there is truth to that. It literally seems to be turning into San Francisco Bay Area 2.0 Yep.

What's a quadrangle? Is that some sort of muscular injury?

Cool. Side note that same architectural firm that's listed here did addison circle multifamily as well

I'm so tired of stucco..and idk what it is... But I've yet see decent stucco apartments in this city

We don't know how execute the style properly and the stucco quality looks cheap

Tivo_Kenevil

Yeah reducing the foot print is a good compromise. But TXDot only knows how to expand

Tivo_Kenevil

Nothing will be built lol

Tivo_Kenevil

So the JPI and Street light development would make up the 700+ Apartments listed in the description? That alone make it's better than anything previously proposed on this site.

The 508 Young project is a disgrace! what they plan to do to the front of building and turn into a drive through is ridiculous.

Just dropping in to bump this up a bit. Been dreaming about an 800 footer overlooking Carpenter & the EQ (as well as Deep Ellum in the opposite direction). Dream with me for a second y'all... In an IDEAL world, what style of architecture would you like to see on a tower of that size here? Somet...

LOL Yeah, I couldn't detect any changes. Classic example of Steve Brown's development puffing service.

He gotta meet his quota of development "news". If there's no new stories or updates..Refabricate an existing story!

Somehow I feel like Harwood will destroy the sidewalks and it make it less pedestrian friendly! As w/ most Harwood projects... Meh. Not excited

I think it may be more of "confused" "announcement." 750 apartments in a 17 story building seems unlikely. I don't know what that site is, but it looks like they may have cobbled together a set of random statements from the developer's earlier description of their first phase an...

Tivo_Kenevil
