To drive higher ridership, what DART needs to do is lower train headways or if you prefer increase train frequencies. Interlining 4 different lines through one at surface transit mall limits train frequencies beyond the split offs. Having a second route through downtown Dallas is needed to reduce t...

Good thing that an hour before quitting time on a potential long holiday weekend in the summer is an unrepresentative sample. With the exception of the curious out-of-towners who weren't present the last time, it exactly matches what I saw on my last visit (at lunch time on a Friday (non-holiday we...

With Neiman's moving their headquarters out of Downtown, it wouldn't surprise me to see them shutter their Downtown store. It's already a mausoleum with virtually no one in the store. It's looked very rundown for a number of years. If more people actually move Downtown, maybe it will survive, but I...

I celebrate that a new building is even getting announced downtown in this finance and real estate market. This will add more people to that area to support restaurants and stores and parks. I love that downtown is moving towards people living there and not just office towers. I agree. I wish we wo...

May, 2023

1 unit sold. 94 sold in 66 months (1.431 per month) 64 remaining.

Sell-out projection (at that pace of sales): 9 years, 3 months.

This is their third sale this year (0.6 sales per month). At this rate their sellout period will extend to 14 years, 5 months.

May 2023

One sold. 30 sold in 35 months. (0.86 per month) 19 remaining.

Sell-out projection: 4 years, 10 months

More realistic: They have sold 7 in the past 17 months (0.42 per month). At that pace, the sell-out projection is 7 years, 10 months.

Rono's post spurred me to take a look at the original announcement of this project (in January 2020).

When are they going to go forward with their make over of the Galleria and tear down the Southern wing of the mall to be replaced by a new hotel, office tower, and residential tower?

Also, American Girl was on a lease that pre-dated Saks' departure.

The DMN only said he and his family will be moving to NYC, not that his "office" will be there (that's an assumption you're making). It did also say that the NYC satellite office for Neiman Marcus will become a "hub," but that's not the same thing as saying the CEO's office will...

1. How you do know the bolded for certain with Wells Fargo and Bank of America? 2. Who says the new Neiman Marcus CEO won't also have an "Office of the CEO" in Dallas? The CEO himself in his interview with DMN confirmed he would be traveling back & forth to Dallas as well. I don't kno...

Tucy

BTW, per DMN, even they confirm it's not that unusual as the CEOs of Albertsons and United Airlines also have similar arrangements (in fact, Scott Kirby lives in Dallas). It's more than a bit of a stretch to say Scott Kirby lives in Dallas and more to the point, it's not terribly relevant if Dallas...

This is really a pointless discussion either way you slice it though, because even if the CEO doesn't live/work in Dallas, Neiman Marcus' registered office will remain in Dallas and Neiman Marcus' administrative function are also staying in Dallas. and the Galleria is not a struggling mall. . . ;) ...

BTW, apparently it wasn't mentioned in this thread, but designer bag retailer Brahmin (the only location in Dallas) closed their Galleria store recently as well.

NYC. Thanks. But in the meantime, I found it. Actually, it seems Bank of America's CEO is in Boston. Those two seem a slight bit different from the Neiman Marcus situation.

The answer to that question is technically no, and there are a lot of big companies with similar arrangements (Wells Fargo and Bank of America immediately come to mind). But yeah, functionally when you hear "HQ," you think of the place where actual decision-making takes place (which would...

If this is indeed skylink dependent there's no way they'll end up calling this Terminal F. Surely it will be "Terminal D Satellite" and the gates will simply be D41-D56, or something like that. That way there would be no room for doubt as to what terminal people need to be driving into/ge...
