'Sugar Factory' will open in the Lower Mckinney/Victory Park area later this year (summer or later), replacing a recently closed restaurant. It'll be their first location in TX, not really sure what to make of the concept. It seems to be a fairly high profile kind of place.
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2021/01/11/trinity-groves-office-building-gets-planning-approval/ It's hard to keep track of everything, I didn't know they were working on an office building other than the proposed tower. Property owner West Dallas Investments has received approval f...
I don't think I have seen this elsewhere, this was posted to a Victory Park 'Neighborhood Association' Facebook page. The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is that loading dock on the corner by the AAC. I'd think that's a no brainer to activate that corner and draw people from the rest o...
Popbar has closed, and there's a sign above the door that seemed to say 'Mad Pies'. Might be a pizza place? I didn't get a good look. The company that runs IT'Sugar had recently filed for bankruptcy and the store is currently closed, possibly for good. Imoto is open again, they've been leaving the d...
The Trinity Park Conservancy...and its lead project designer, Michael Van Valkenburgh Architects, have settled on a preliminary design for a large overlook park on top of the west levee, straddling Commerce Street. The conservancy has begun a national search for a “visionary architect” to “reimagin...
Here is some good news from something that has been quiet for a while: Despite not being in the news much since the end of last year, things are still moving forward and are on schedule at Dallas Midtown. We're also starting to pour roads across the property. Hopefully towards the end of the year we...
In exchange for a 75 percent reimbursement of all taxes paid on the building through June 30, 2038, the owner must procure a Fortune 500 tenant to move its headquarters to the building along with meeting a number of other criteria. These criteria include a minimum investment of $30 million in capit...

It is sad that Harwood hasn't done more with their neighborhood. You couldn't have had a more boring pedestrian experience if you tried! I know this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone have any input on living at the 588 Lofts in State Thomas? They seem like a great combination of reasonable price, ...
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2020/03/03/massive-redevelopment-would-replace-former-parkland-campus/ A Dallas real estate developer is giving the first look at an ambitious plan to repurpose the former Parkland Hospital campus northwest of downtown Dallas. Property company EB Arrow...
The developer also says they want to preserve the memory of this brief moment in history. They’re asking people to share artwork and pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #DiscoverTheCentral for a chance to be featured. The pictures will go in a gallery space at The Central – the 27 acre mixed-use...
I wonder if they would build something grand and iconic in order to take their place in the skyline...or if they would do something shorter so as to not 'mess' with that iconic angle of the skyline. Hopefully the former.
One of my biggest wishes out of any redevelopment here is for Ashland St to connect to Houston. And while this isn't Hunt's responsibility, I'd love a simple crosswalk at Houston and Museum Way/High Market St.
The acquisition includes an almost 2-acre building site on the northeast corner of the Galleria property that had been planned for another high-rise. “We do have a site that can accommodate a roughly 300,000-square-foot new building,” said C. Brent Smith, Piedmont’s president and chief executive. “...
Musk tweeted 'Giga Texas?' with a poll, and set his twitter location to Austin today. While they do have an office presence there, DFW airport and the other regional airports seem especially strong with cargo transport. Maybe DFW would be lucky enough to get this opportunity? I'm sure regional leade...

This is a pretty minor opening, but Fiction Coffee opened up their stand in One Victory Park's lobby. It's open from 7:00am to 2:30pm and so far seems to be a welcome addition. Now something just needs to go into the large retail space that has sat empty for years...
I walk by this area occasionally and always feel uncomfortable, like I'm the only person there. Pipe dream, I'd love to see the Harwood and Olive lots shown above developed into residential towers with decent height. I'm sure the lot size or location limits any interest in development - they will pr...
https://candysdirt.com/2020/01/22/council-unanimously-approves-streetlights-development-at-oak-lawn-and-lemmon/ The mixed use tower next to Eatzi's was approved, seems like a decent if not great addition to the area.

If I remember correctly the Innovation Arcade will be home to rotating art displays, some interactive. I'm assuming the glowing cubes are an example of the type and size of the art - not a permanent display.

Happy New Year everyone! Conversely in this thread- along with the most exciting projects of 2020, what are everyone's predictions for 2020 through even 2025? Which projects will fail? Which will succeed? What's the next hot neighborhood? What suburb will be the next Frisco? Will Downtown get a new...
I think 1899 Mckinney is my personal favorite. The architecture is exciting and a step above almost any other project. It's a much better development than what is currently on the sight, in an area that needs more residential. The developer has directly said several good urban planning concepts are ...

^ I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. It’d take a miracle for leadership to embrace the fact that we are playing catch up in our core area. We have proved that we can do suburban very well, and it helped us grow as a metro to have cheap land to develop. Why not give true, high quality ur...
Does anyone have an idea why the retail space at the bottom of The House hasn't been leased? I understand that it is not controlled by Trademark but it seems odd that space around the neighborhood's park, main office building, and House of Blues sits empty. Even Hard Rock will be leaving soon and I ...

The building will apparently operate as apartments for 10 years, then they are planning to combine units and convert everything to condos. Pretty exciting to see more condo options in more walkable areas.
Apparently the spot near Sift + Pour that started being built out will be Chipotle. The doorman of the W mentioned this, supporting what another user had previously posted.
That spot had displayed a sign for Feed me Pronto earlier this year, so I wonder where that will be, if it ever opens.
