I don't think the development is an eyesore ...at least in it's current form. Certainly not the worst I've seen..

Here is an update from 6/3 on that small condo development at 1880 Canton. I wonder what the pricing will be given the location. It's actually a huge step backwards. This is project is an absolute disaster...a total eye sore brought to by the same builder of The Destination on Peters which is alrea...

A few years ago, I recall reading the city wanted to make more of an effort to make Marilla street more pedestrian friendly hoping to better connect the Farmer's Market and City Hall. This development will certainly be a (small) step towards that goal. Here is an update from 6/3 on that small condo...

Better?? I do think Fort Worth is the better city to buy a home. Not only is there ample land in Fort Worth to build new neighborhoods, but you can still find a home for a much more affordable price in a better neighborhood than in Dallas. Through the years I've had numerous colleagues with high pa...

I want that 7-11 gone. It's ran poorly.

Tivo_Kenevil

12-15 stories. All buried parking would be ideal.

Tivo_Kenevil

Crazy that we have more than Chicago. Miami having little is surprising. They're always getting hyped.

Nah, they sat on Uptown site for years ..... At some point it's about developer not being committed to the project.

They even left rubble on the site, as of they didn't even care.

Tivo_Kenevil

Man these developers don't mess around. Love to see it.

Tivo_Kenevil

Anyone know what they Intend to do with the Kroger? The suburban strip mall store seems really out of place.

Tivo_Kenevil

Walmart/Sams doesn't care about density they care about dominating the grocery market and their target customer owns an SUV or Truck and wants to park in a giant lot, load up with cheap stuff and get out without dealing with parking garages/escalators etc. This store was always about Sam's getting ...

More gated community development

It's hilarious that there's a thread called "Arlington Development and TRANSPORTATION projects"

They literally have no transit. What the hell is considered a transportation project in Arlington? Anything with a parking lot?

Tivo_Kenevil

This project is just.... No......a restaurant? That's the best they can think of?....if the best the conservancy can do is a restaurant.. why even bother purchasing that land? Seem like they're land speculators more than anything else

Tivo_Kenevil

Anyone know what the plans are for Doug's Gym and the near by lots in EQ?

I guess if you consider pretty renderings to be "taking into consideration." Look forward to the upcoming plea for taxpayer funded/subsidized hotels, apartment buildings and restaurant space that is needed to make the new convention center marketable. I'm not sure what your angle is here....

Tivo_Kenevil

The stadium is really second rate, high school vibes. In comparison to the Dynamo and Austin FC stadiums... FC Dallas is really stuck in MLS 1.0. Same w/ the Rapids and Revs.

And don't get me started on NYCFC... Kansas City Wizards baseball stadium vibes... Just terrible

It's not because the proposed projects appear cookie cutter. There's way more momentum in Austin, with a bunch of corporations relocating to Downtown Austin and hardly anyone (relatively speaking) is relocating to Downtown Dallas. DTD should pivot and become an Urban Neighborhood. Then Corporate HQ...

A little off topic with this broad question. Aside from NewPark, what is the reason why dirt hasn’t moved on any major project (field st district, north end hunt project, field st tower, etc) ?

Of course renderings don't always turn into reality, but the initial ones appear to show three other towers in the development that are taller than the first tower they gained funding for. Most certainly, these other towers may never be built. The city may take office space in the new tower with it...

They're still hell bent in landing a tenant for their 1M square foot office space ?!...Did the pandemic not make them reconsider to add more residential??

what a waste of great views... this would be a great highrise location. You know I actually disagree.. I think 5 story is perfect.
