Saw this at the old Ascension space on Elm. I tried looking up info, but I couldn't find anything. I looked it up and see that one of the LLC's other addresses is 229 N Bishop Ave, occupied by La Reunion Cafe & Bar in Bishop Arts, so maybe an offshoot of that. Screen Shot 2021-06-28 at 8.53.26 ...

Doesn't seem that way based on this: https://dallasmetropolis.com/dfwu/download/file.php?id=2909&mode=view Of course I agree that any green space is better than none, but the problem with that plan is the driveway/porte-cochère/roundabout taking up most of the north side of the park (finally, t...

I remember the first time I heard about the deck park over I-35 and thinking "not in my lifetime". Still a very long way to go, but this sure as hell makes it a lot more real. Screen Shot 2021-06-22 at 12.23.28 PM.jpg To my knowledge, the current plan is still Phase 1 (funded) Lancaster-Ew...

Parking garages can easily be converted to storage units. Even with the concrete ramps, imagine a set of tracks that a robot can use to deliver your storage unit to a lobby on the first floor. Pick up whatever crap you want from the unit and there goes the robot returning your Christmas decorations ...

Wynnewood seems to be playing a quiet game of musical chairs, moving the UT Southwestern medical offices into new construction behind the shopping center.

The amount of construction activity around Red Bird Mall this morning took me by surprise, so this photo isn't a good representation of what I saw. The new construction immediately surrounding this (Foot Locker, Starbucks, Frost Bank) looks great. I did think the demo around Macy's makes it look lik...

Happy to see this concept here. Some years ago, we needed a cheap room in London for a night just to catch the flight home from Heathrow the next morning, and booked the Z Hotel in Piccadilly... very tiny rooms that are modern and clean but you'd never spend any time in. They had free wine and chees...

I drove by this morning and they were laying the brick facade, so at least the central structure is not stucco.

Another one bites the dust Guessing this was the church on Beckley and Morgan, which I'm not terribly sad to lose... architecturally, it wasn't anything like the George Dahl building on Kiest & Polk that we lost to a car wash a few years ago: https://candysdirt.com/2015/12/17/preservation-alert...

Construction of the Bishop South apartments (across from Bishop North) began this week with demo of the building on N. Madison and 9th. It had the Stevie Ray Vaughan lyrics painted on its west-facing side.

Checked it out today and thought it looks fantastic. Not sure why, but I expected it to feel larger even though I've walked through that parking lot a million times. Extremely well designed with some very subtle elevation changes. The section with the swings will be very popular.

Recently learned that Wynnewood Village redevelopment plans have changed a bit, understandably. The movie theater isn't just delayed but scrapped altogether, which is a good thing in my opinion. That structure was never started but the parking lot and lighting were finished ages ago, meaning that a ...

I drove past this construction site Saturday night and was pretty floored by how much it changes the perception of density in this part of downtown. I'd say it's one of the most dramatic changes to the downtown core I've seen since I moved here in 2006.

Walked past the new Bishop North building last night and think they did a decent job. I'm still amazed that there's an apartment building in Oak Cliff with underground parking.

The retail buildings next to Davis Street Espresso broke ground recently, which was a nice surprise. Also in the left of the photo, you can see the 2-story house that was moved here from Bishop Arts.

Idk the owners fought to preserve the building..and won the right to operate with less parking. This seems like a set back to me. Looks like they plan to rebuild and likely had insurance I guess it depends on whether the parking reduction survives the building. Can’t imagine it does, but if it did ...

So far it's looking like Post-Covid Bishop Arts will be a lot more interesting than before. Hattie's and Tillman's were wonderful places that put the district on the map, but their replacements "Cloves" and "Chimichurri" sound like the type of places people have been asking for a...

I would never buy a condo that’s built like multifamily stick construction. Possibly a town house but never something this large.

No way this building can last 50 years.
