Re: Downtown Dallas: 2000 Ross Project
Big week for hotel announcements. JW and Mandarin Oriental now in the game. With Kimpton signing on for the Epic hotel project and Thompson Hotels signing on for 1401 Elm, what flag (if any) do y'all see as likely for the current Uptown Pizza Hut site? St. Regis? Something more down-market (unlikely)?

Re: Downtown Dallas: Hillwood Urban's ~50 storey tower on former BoA motorcourt
I am fine with Dallas focusing on good density not height just because a few bros need something to measure up to. The whole space race in highrise height does nothing for making Downtown a safe and stable neighborhood of quality spaces with economic security. We need more infill that brings reside...

Just a matter of time before this one moves, in some form or fashion. With the recent (record) acquisition of the former "museum" parking lots, the renovated Fountain Place, and the forthcoming AMLI, this area of downtown should be quite hot with development for some time. That's not even ...

Re: Restaurants: general news/development
Having been to both, Loro and Niwa are two entirely different things / concepts. Loro is more of an American BBQ with Asian flavors. Niwa is more a traditional Japanese style BBQ, but not remotely BBQ in the American sense of the word. I'd think they'd have very little true overlap.
