This from Acadia Realty website. https://www.acadiarealty.com/images/PDFs/2323-1900-BlockAvailablePkg-March2023.pdf Looks like the strip center at 2323 N Henderson Ave stays, just without Henderson Tap House and Muse. I’m wondering what the difference is between “At Lease” and “Available”. In the FU...

You just described Collin Creek Mall from when I first moved here.

A property owner cannot be forced to develop their own land. If they could, there would not be giant spans of surface parking in downtown Dallas. What are your thoughts on the Medallion Center Target which stayed open even after the Super Target right up the road was built. The rumor has been that T...

I probably missed this, but what's going on with the Capital One at Lemmon and Douglas? It's closed and fenced off. Looks like it will be demolished. It could be for renovation, but it's less than 10 years old. That fence has been up for weeks. I thought the same, too new to demo, prime location, e...

Very excited for development here, since this is my neighborhood, but the "rejuvination" of the strip center has pushed out my favorite wine bar, Veritas. Apparently they just bought it and immediately doubled the rent. Not cool. Well that sucks. Do you happen to know if they're planning ...

Looks good. Really sucks that McKinney Ave facade isn’t more pedestrian friendly. Of course with the bars and restaurants demolished in this two-block area to make room for these towers, maybe not so many peds to worry about?? Doesn’t this plot have frontage on both side streets? Surprised there are...

I’ve never thought of this area as TC. I think of it as Oaklawn, but if it sells condos, fine by me. It’s a clean modern look. Nice contrast. Anybody else notice that we seem to have jumped from 20 story to 30 story pretty quickly in the recent proposals? Bring it!

Nice addition. This looks to be a great candidate for future condo conversions if Dallas ever gets to that place in the real estate market.

Great find on the renderings! There has not been much talk about these two towers. The TDLR filing for the office building was posted in this thread back in Sept, but other than a quick intro piece in DMN in Jan 2022 and a story in DBJ last fall, nothing. The filing said construction is scheduled to...

WOW! That was quick, necessary—but quick. That building was a total zero. Looking at the tresMarket website, I’m not sure this is direct competition to Berkleys or Foxtrot. The extensive menu first made me think it was more like Village Bakery or a restaurant, but I don’t think either is right. This...

Yes, I read the thread and saw the renderings. None of that seems to tell us exactly what, if anything, is under construction. All three buildings? One of them? Sorry, I misunderstood your question. It was previously reported that it’s ALL going up at once. I believe all three share the same underg...

This project was “supported” by the OLC at yesterdays meeting (second version). Next step-Dallas P&Z, I guess.

This proposal failed again at Oaklawn Committee meeting last night. OLC stated, "the Lang project is such a significant departure from MF-2 that many of our members can’t offer support, stating that a height increase from 36’ to 390’ regardless of the percentage of the lot included in that heig...

Construction well under way. Moving dirt, entire block fenced off except for Cafe Madrid. They close or block Travis St most days due to all the trucks coming and going. That really sucks because if you’re not aware, you have to go into HP and turn around.

It’s been a while, but someone mentioned this building on another tread. I was in the area today. I just hate the height of the garage portion of this building.

This project was denied (again) by the OLC during the Dec 7 meeting. It sure sounds like the people on the other side of Turtle Creek have grave concerns about the height variance requested (36' allowed vs 390' requested) and the continued loss of affordable apartments in the neighborhood. I read th...

Isn't that how the game is played? Propose more than you want and then when they say "no," come back with what will appear to be a compromise on your part. I think overall, this project's individual components are still taller than the corresponding buildings in the MSDell/TC project on th...

The developer presented an update for this project to the neighborhood based on last months’ presentation to OLC. Some heights and footprints have been adjusted lower.
