Another tenant signed for the Music Factory... The Green Gator- a Cajun themed Sports Bar from Frisco. https://dallas.eater.com/2018/10/25/18022960/green-gator-cajun-food-toyota-music-factory-irving I like this move... at least it's not another Yardhouse/Thirst Lion copycat. Haven't seen any other ...
Until then, the LC Urban Center will likely remain a place for young couples without families, and possibly empty nesters. But there's really nothing wrong with that. Other than, the population demographics in the area cannot support such growth in entertainment as seen in areas such as Frisco... I...
Las Colinas needs a good museum. I would argue it needs a better public school district first, instead of CFB. I am a product of the CFB school system - compared to the alternative of Irving ISD, I do not know what your complaint is. I grew up in the Hackberry area and had friends living less than ...
That is definitely concerning... Both of those are pretty low rent run establishments. They may do something more upscale, but apparently there wasn't a long list of top tier interest to chose from.
We attended the Erasure concert Friday night and, like most of our other experiences (4 trips to Alamo + 4-5 trips for dinner at other places), we had a great time. We valet very time just in front of the TCBY and that's always worked well, yeah $10-$20 but easy in and out where we want to go. Durin...
Pretty stoked about Gingerman coming to town. That'll be a very frequent stop for me, no doubt. I'd still like to see another hotel come in as part of phase 2. I remember way back in the day, it was supposed to include a Hotel ZaZa. Are we talking about Cypress Waters? That whole development in my ...
Thinking about Cypress Waters and all the success Billingsley is having, why don't we give her the old Texas Stadium site? I mean at this point something along the lines of Cypress Water is probably the best we could hope for at that site. And honestly, I'm pretty impressed with what she's done out...
Pacific Table looks good... Irving's nationally unique diversity does however mean that what works in other areas (Southlake, Frisco/Plano) won't necessarily work here. One of the things that makes Irving unique is its highly diverse population, however that doesn't mean that what works in other are...
They're not going to be able to lease those spaces anytime soon. It will be the better part of 6 months to 12 months before we see anything replace them.
Is it too much all at once? It's possible that there is not a sufficient population that fits the demographic to support this many places. It may take time, or it may never... the market will decide and the area will be leased in a way that fits the market demand. That could be what they're aiming ...
They yanked the post off facebook, but it's not a total surprise... Billy Bob's hasn't been too successful anywhere other than their original location in FW, and the parking and low demand of the music factory area just can't support a place like that. Sad, but inevitable, Texas Jam House, Bar Manza...
They were lucky to get Whole Foods... WF almost completely backed out. WF has been concerned with the ability to make the store profitable, but their influx from the Amazon purchase allowed them to proceed.
We visited El Famoso this weekend as well, and it's absolutely awful. They won't make it 6 months with the rent they have and the terrible food quality.
Tried Yard House on Friday night around 6. Great food, awful service. Everyone was waiting around for BAR drinks 15 minutes or more at their tables. Food was great quality, great atmosphere, I only ended up having 2 beers with my meal and the same for my wife, because that's all that they could get ...
After living in Las Colinas for 20 years, I can say the following: 1) No area is better for living close to your work, which, regardless of what people say, they desire. 2) Lack of a good school district (Irving or Carollton-Farmers Branch don't compare to Frisco/Plano/Marcus) is a HUGE factor why t...
One more useless misuse of taxpayer money just like the Dallas bridge fiascos. How about fix the roads in Las Colinas instead or kill all the welfare programs draining the city south of Northgate.
Starbucks has one of the most robust expansion programs still underway today. They will open where they find areas that can be profitable (revenue surpasses expenses).
Most of the north is in CFBISD and that's not a whole lot better. As a parent and a 20 year Las Colinas resident, I believe education options, not entertainment options are what's missing in Las Colinas. South Irving to me, is only a welfare state spending the money from taxes from north Irving, aga...
Goosehead Insurance has rented 62,000 square feet of office space in the Solana development in Westlake on State Highway 114 moving from an office on Royal in Irving.
I have heard that talks between Toyota, Chase and maybe Liberty Mutual have started to discuss transportation which could include shuttles to Parker Rd redline station and a bus system for the immediate area (Legacy West offices and retailers). People aren't going to leverage that. Having worked at...
