Re: Downtown Dallas: Newpark Dallas/Smart District

Really nice. I think the height is appropriate and it fills a clear void.
Hopefully another developer buys Hoque out and starts something.
Even with a slightly favorable market, I think Hoque will still look worse after the FW fiasco.

Re: Reunion (Tower, hotel, and??)

"upgrade the TRE and save the money for other projects." Tivo_Kenevil

I think this is a good idea.
Is it possible to extend the end of the TRE from Union Station to the Cedars using existing rail lines?
That would allow the direct transfer to TRE. Upgrading the schedule would be helpful.
