"Yeah, it's disappointing. Comparing it to my Denver scenario it fails even in the most basic sense in that there's no direct route from DFW to Union. But regardless, if this part of downtown gets more developed I hope Union st. gets some amount of attention and isn't relegated to being mostly ...
How is this any different than the Armstrong @ Knox (on Cole). I believe it is a 7 story and is a great development. I hope it gets built, with some retail as well so the walkability of the neighborhood is not so linear.
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/retail/2019/06/27/half-price-books-breaks-ground-on-new-mixed-use-project-off-dallas-northwest-highway/ saw this building driving yesterday, already on the 3rd floor. Please remove if there is already a thread. " Half Price Books, the nation’s largest family-...
I really hope this development is successful. I feel developing Westmoreland station will be key to Redbird success. It is only 5 miles away and there is a direct bus 404 that connects the 'mall' to the station. If transit is consistent and becomes more frequent, it may create an urban-like extensio...
Its also huge footprint-wise. It feels it should be 3 restaurants not one. Maybe Mudhen would be part of a multiple concept set-up. That may be a problem with the kitchen tho.
I thought this location had an announcement for a 55+ development. I thought it was going to be 7 or 8 story structure, assuming this is the same location.
May be we will find out, may be we won't, who knows. I live in the Cedars and I can tell you this building was not secure enough if at all. Also going back to the city "simplifying" the cluster of streets by adding St Paul to the Ambassador land...Makes NO sense to me. If this was such a p...
You have a 115 year old building, you don't try to secure it? Pay a little to have a grounds keeper? A 115 year old building, probably the most valuable in the Cedars, is gone. It does not have to criminal, it does not have to be intentional, but is negligence acceptable? Similar crap happened with ...
/\ Not only this, they (Jim Lake's company) have requested to 'annex' St Paul between I30 and Ervay so they have direct access to Dallas Heritage Village?? I want to say that just got approved last week. Please confirm if you have any info. Would that still happen even after the Ambassador is gone? ...
Actually multiple new homes around Atlanta and Metropolitan in Queen city and Wheatley place just minutes from Deep Ellum are selling at the $165k-$189K range. (75215 east of 45/175)
If I am not mistaken, the Lake Highlands station opened in 2010, 13 years after the blue line opened as additional investment for the now failed Lake Highlands town center (The suburban plaza on the SE corner on Walnut Hill and Skillman with Sprouts and Starbucks) I do not mind this location being h...
These types of projects are the new version of a revenue producing 'parking lot'. Make money while you own the land. unfortunately with a parking lot, you can redevelop quickly. With a project like this, 30-40 years.
Just a shot in the dark here; would there be a possibility to have an exit Staircase or escalator from city place to the east side of 75? It's technically under 75. I would think that would be a game changer for this whole side.
Not a fan of the Case Building either. I actually like it, but not in this location. I like the scale and height of the new development but wish it was 2 buildings with a pathway instead of one massive box. Same as the Camden apartments by Victory or the new apartments next to west end. It seems the...
The area needs more residential. a corner store would be wonderful.. a grocer even better. I agree. There is an Urban Market in Southside (basement) and a Smart and Final on Ervay (pretty horrible). A corner store would be great, but at this time due to density, it would have to be on Lamar. Too ma...
I actually prefer this design to the mirror. Also,because this is residential, it would have balconies, so it would look different anyway. I think this compliments Fountain place quite nicely. How awesome that they are 30 years apart yet look quite harmonious.
I agree. I love this store as well but can't remember the last time I purchased something there. As 'Artisan' gets priced out, similar to design stores in design district or Cool bars in LG, hopefully they relocate closer to these urban centers (further out; 9th or 10th and sign a 10 year lease:) an...
Were the historical commission recommendations made public? Or is that what the developer is saying? I apologize if it was already posted, I haven't seen it.
I'm sure it is. But if the argument is to change the first floor windows because they are not historically accurate, why wouldn't the same argument be made to the top arches to make them historically accurate? As you can see from the picture, they are patched up while the original architecture still...
Couldn't the window arches be re-cut while maintaining the stucco? It does seem that would have conflicted with the brick exposing issue. I agree, that would have made a big difference even with this paint color. Still, an active, occupied building beats a vacant one.
Nobody cares what you think about Trump. Let's stick to urban development. Save the political drivel for Facebook and Twitter. Quite a disrespectful response. I care, so the 'Nobody' claim is incorrect. I do agree, politics has no place here unless it is related to what we are discussing. In this c...
With all do respect: "President Donald Trump's hotel management company, " The first phrase of the DBJ article. On your more general point, I do agree, we are not here to inflame (or insult) Ya, I know.... catch-22, gooey mess Thank you, appreciated. And I meant 'Due respect' :) not do re...
I'm happy with the rotunda restaurant. People on the other side of Ross in the evening is a plus for this area. This will be a good - albeit small- improvement to the connection to the new TC Building on Ross.

I like the development. I think a lot of people were hoping it would be more urban as initially planned, but the developer changed course after the city dropped millions on infrastructure. There was a meeting to update the community in May 2016 and the following was the summary (From Advocate - Lake...
That is awesome news. While I am a huge fan of Larry Hamilton and his commitment to downtown development, I always thought he has no concept of what works at street level. Mosaic lagged considerably with scene and am/pm, DP&L street level is a joke, Davis building with its prime location still h...
I actually expect an even greater acceleration of town home construction in the near future. So much of our building boom has come at the hands of big players who don't meddle so much in this field. It seems only in the last few years we have some developers (ex: InTown) and smaller players, who ha...
I think the time it takes to sell units in a condo building is a deterrent. It happened prior with House by Starck in Victory and currently with Museum Tower. It is easier for builders to get their investment back with high occupancy, high price rentals, sell the property to a management company and...
