Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

I would like to see the on-the-ground detailed solution for the Ashland portion in particular. If you don't walk it a lot - go to google streetview and start at Field and make your way along to where it hits Cedar Springs before jumping onto Harwood. (If I'm understanding the proposed routing correc...

From the Dallas CPC yesterday: Looks like it's a total of 21 stories w/no height change requests so up to 240'. The backside of Maple Terrace within the u-shape area an additional glass 9-st office building will be incorporated into the existing Maple Terrace (office conversion) itself, going up to ...

I bet they forget that there is a stub of Alamo St. between the Cirque and CVS, across from the Ascent and it'll remain Alamo, so we can remember of course. They forgot (or the little stub was of no concern) : Miguel Martinez Way: https://goo.gl/maps/p4rfB8eb1EAd4NaF7 Remembering the Alamo St: http...

Of course, there's probably some crank that shows up at every DART board meeting that really really likes the color Blue and will only ride Blue line trains from Mockingbird to West End even if it means waiting an hour...

Lol.

I have a late '90s roll from DART. It is freaking long (way longer than the ebay link above) and really can't be unfurled inside the home. And, it's 20+ years old without extra lines obviously. I'll try to find some pictures I took when I acquired it or do some new ones!

Nice photos and vantage point! Sent you a link, too.

I wonder how many people even noticed this tower even going up in 2020. . .

Yeah, I understand and totally joking about it being new - just different. Amazing how long all this has been going on.

Fantastic pictures as always, Sam!

Well, for the time being, might as well go seed bomb the hell out of that new dog park*. Oh, and put a random monolith there, too.

Looks like Northland Properties is moving forward with the first of their 2 hotels in the Star Park project. It'll be a 6 story hotel with an attached restaurant. Most likely this will the Sandman Signature Hotel with an attached Moxie's (just like what they did in Plano). Update on Sandman Signatu...

Sprouts looks to be shooting for an October 2021 completion:

Possibly including whole project scope/site eve...

I noticed on the firm's website, it's the image that pops-up first in background without going to the dropdown for projects:

Great photos, Sam!

Just some more data showing how much longer the renovation will take including an unfinished 11th floor addition, perhaps partial coverage over current roof.

Their closest major distribution point is Temple I think, but, not positive. But, I would also imagine the next step in their supply chain has some warehousing in the DFW area prior to going to the storefronts? All in one spot? No idea.

This one will come around eventually. Whether or not as envisioned originally, this family knows the potential and is extremely patient. Maybe this years antics might make the overall project scope better someday in the future, even.

I was wondering about the water part as well at this site.

Actually been working on this since last night. After going ahead and taking the suggestion to google a name (which I already knew was one of the LLC people) and just cross-reference what other ties he might have, sure enough plain as day he admits to it way over here on a personal site: http://www....

I want to know so much more about this. https://goo.gl/maps/qxhDfCu1mRxKvnqBA Go back to 2018 in Street View, and, then move forward to present again. I looked at D CAD and saw who owns the land parcel/parcels, but, I hesitate to even contact them because other than perhaps contracting out to mow th...

Has anybody heard anything new about the Braniff hostess academy redevelopment at Wycliff and the DNT? I keep dreaming about a residential conversion (so I can live there) but last I heard it was going hotel and boutique office. Both of those real estate sectors are doing poorly, so I would think b...

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2020/11/13/developer-hines-plans-apartment-tower-restaurant-and-retail-space-at-landmark-maple-terrace/ There's also this tidbit from a few months ago: https://candysdirt.com/2020/08/05/breaking-hines-sidesteps-permits-and-asbestos-protection-at-maple-...

Found this mention in another thread early this year, tucked away: Couldn't really find the old thread for Maple Terrace, and didn't think it was worth starting a new one... so I'll post this here since it's same neighborhood and a block away. But Hines has purchased the Maple Terrace Apartments. Cu...

I saw those pictures there, too! The place looks very good. And, of course, the views.

Yes, I sent all that to the news so they can do the rest of the same digging we both apparently did. I saw all the connections as well. However, I don't know if they will use the Federales name or go with a new name here. The shop flyer was updated this month, supposedly. The tenant name on the TX f...

Looks like a restaurant space may go in at 2820 Commerce late next year after renovations, potentially called EllumEx.

Lol, J. How about TOOL? Taint of Oak Lawn. Yeah, I'm all for just naming the the pieces and parts individually. I wonder if they'll stick with North End, though. .

Desired air space sure is interesting.

Looks like it's this:

At least a residential part of this project appears to be nearing a start:

How did I figure out CHRISTUS was the potential tenant for the new proposed tower? Well, for starters I zoomed all over the site plan to see if I could find any clues. Yep, found one on the very top left portion of the site plan that BOKA Powell had submitted to P&Z for review. In teeny tiny pr...

On another note, the Paws Colinas Dog Park is getting underway. It'll be right on California Crossing and run up against the Campion Trail. Looks like it'll be pretty big!

They could probably get, from the FAA, in the vicinity of 650-725 FT in this pocket or somewhere thereabouts if they actually desire it, without having to involve special unicorns. (Notwithstanding local review) I would put little stock into the rendering being finalized in it's entirety this early ...

This time might be the charm for the Houseman after some misses over the years, great news.

I'm looking at rebooting RAFT, not necessarily taking the lead, but, certainly getting it going again. They were busy for years and it dropped off a few years ago after some fantastic main characters left, one of which was a great forumer here for ages before moving off to London. It held on until M...

Thanks for all the photos as always Maconahey. I was wondering about the National Anthem restaurant build-out at Magnolia Petroleum Bldg. Some of the articles about it are over a year and a half old, so I went and looked around. Go figure I'd find it here: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Proj...

Regarding the Mill Creek development, just to point out here as has been pointed out elsewhere in internetlandia - there are discrepancies in what has been in at zoning for 160 FT and 15ish ST as discussed on Candy's Dirt v. what went to the Urban Design Peer Review Board voluntarily just days ago a...

So, anyway, I know it's a hard sell and no developer should be expected to be a part of it - but, seems like a dandy opportunity to rebuild the fire station at the same time to an absolute top-notch facility bordering on showcase. At least, it sounds like a nice idea and maybe just that. And, plus, ...

You got it man! If you or anyone else wouldn't hate having the free tutorial, I downloaded all of it just in case. I can also private message a link to where downloads are still freely available.

Awesome photos, Sam!

I watched the entire boring Urban Design Peer Review video from Friday on this. I say boring, but, really not - if you're interested in these things like we are. Just long, haha. Towards the end, one reviewer couldn't stop ripping them a new one on placement of phase 1 (should be where phase 2 is, f...
