I drove by this morning and they were laying the brick facade, so at least the central structure is not stucco.

Another one bites the dust Guessing this was the church on Beckley and Morgan, which I'm not terribly sad to lose... architecturally, it wasn't anything like the George Dahl building on Kiest & Polk that we lost to a car wash a few years ago: https://candysdirt.com/2015/12/17/preservation-alert...

Construction of the Bishop South apartments (across from Bishop North) began this week with demo of the building on N. Madison and 9th. It had the Stevie Ray Vaughan lyrics painted on its west-facing side.

Checked it out today and thought it looks fantastic. Not sure why, but I expected it to feel larger even though I've walked through that parking lot a million times. Extremely well designed with some very subtle elevation changes. The section with the swings will be very popular.

Recently learned that Wynnewood Village redevelopment plans have changed a bit, understandably. The movie theater isn't just delayed but scrapped altogether, which is a good thing in my opinion. That structure was never started but the parking lot and lighting were finished ages ago, meaning that a ...

Is this next to CVS - the current abandoned gas station/car wash? QuickTrip has leased just over 1 acre at 3512 Cole Ave. in Dallas.

I drove past this construction site Saturday night and was pretty floored by how much it changes the perception of density in this part of downtown. I'd say it's one of the most dramatic changes to the downtown core I've seen since I moved here in 2006.

Walked past the new Bishop North building last night and think they did a decent job. I'm still amazed that there's an apartment building in Oak Cliff with underground parking.

The retail buildings next to Davis Street Espresso broke ground recently, which was a nice surprise. Also in the left of the photo, you can see the 2-story house that was moved here from Bishop Arts.

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 I guess it depends on whether the parking reduction survives the building. Can’t imagine it does, but if it did ...

So far it's looking like Post-Covid Bishop Arts will be a lot more interesting than before. Hattie's and Tillman's were wonderful places that put the district on the map, but their replacements "Cloves" and "Chimichurri" sound like the type of places people have been asking for a...

Just a casual observation of what development looks like in Q3 and maybe Q4 for West Dallas.

I wonder if that single-story section inside the U is a later addition and can be demolished. Would be perfect for a large covered patio/game room.

I thought at one point there were plans for a cool mixed-use, possibly right across the street from where this is going? I'll have to dig back in this thread and see if i can find it.

There was one random rumor that HEB had sold the site but I can't even remember where I heard that so it may be complete conjecture.

Saw this on Facebook today. Looks like demo activity on the Central Market site, which doesn't make sense if HEB still owns the site and you believe what we've been told about the Oak Cliff store opening after the Uptown store.

Does it look small in person or you’re going off these pics? 30 feet tall seems decent, but I haven’t seen it in person yet. I think it’s a nice sculpture in this context, but when you consider how they said this would be the Dallas version of The Bean, which is twice as tall, then it might seem a ...

I would rather have a nice fountain than the interactive sculpture they put in. The interactive sculpture is a little underwhelming with how small it is if I'm being honest.

Maybe I missed it the first time or they updated the story with the name of the building. Any guess as to why it’s named The Galbraith?

I would never buy a condo that’s built like multifamily stick construction. Possibly a town house but never something this large.

No way this building can last 50 years.

Any plan that doesn't at least allow for doubling the Nature and Science Museum would be a mistake in my opinion. The worst mistake IMO would be a failure to connect Victory Plaza to the museum.
