There was brief rumor/talk somewhere, I don't remember where I saw it, that Hyatt's Centric brand was considered or looked at for this, but I've seen nothing more about it.

Hyatt Centric was the hotel flag placed on earlier more detailed renderings for this project.

I like the Galleria because it's feels more convenient and quick than a trip to Northpark. It's honestly not in as bad of shape as some people here seem to think. I've also not seen many vacant storefronts. A few, but not many. I don't spend thousands or even hundreds on each garment I buy, so I ap...

They look at Frisco with salivation and want that here. This is all on Dallas. Nothing in Frisco has been built with a giant surface lot until you get to nearly Prosper. The most anti-urban thing Frisco has done recently is slightly widen their main street. And the downzoning of US75 to drive-thus ...

I wish we could get a nice block of 8-10 mid rise buildings throughout this side of town. This here I agree with. If you hop over to Oaklawn near Old Parkland you can witness a perfect example of this. it hasn't quite reached 8-10 mark but with the apartments they have built along with new town hom...

Has anyone seen the Trammel Crow development? I had high hopes for it as they had multiple tower cranes on the site and went reasonably far below grade for parking, so I was expecting something much, much larger/nicer/denser than what we ended up with. Even worse, the units that front Greenville lo...

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up and bumping this topic, I don't have any updates regarding the Trinity River Park. I was wondering if anyone here has actually utilized the existing trails and park space as it is. I've only briefly used the trails here, so I really don't know much of anything about...

Plain beige EIFS stick built apartment in Dallas. Groundbreaking. Ross Ave isn't Uptown.

That garage is an insult to the progress that The Cedars has made so far, it's almost like going backwards in time. I really hope they don't plan to just build a massive bank garage in the neighborhood.

I agree with you about Levee street.

I would say that too if I was running PR for The Drever. Yeah but work has not seemed to stopped so they do have that going for them.

Can't support retail everywhere without density. You're only going to get that with midrise once you have midrise everywhere, not just a few here and there (which I would completely support). And even our high-rises aren't particularly dense. A developer friend of mine in Oakland is building a 20-s...

This development is not connected to other urban areas nor is it close to any DART lines so the parking is necessary but it would have been nice if they included a garage instead but then again that does raise the price tag in what can be considered an unproven market.
