Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

So I noticed a little thing... Obviously, KDC had their "section" of Midtown, known as Park Heritage. Notice the "had." It's completely gone from their website. The project page that once gloated about Park Heritage & Dallas Midtown as a whole is gone. The only Park Heritage-...

I just hope they decide to incorporate the Mashburn structure into the office building on Knox. The DMN story below about Anthropologie confirms that Mashburns will be “dislocated” by the new Dell development on Travis. It says HPV leasing team is helping find them a new location in Knox District. ...

As someone who has lived in VP for three years, it's the most active it's ever been right now...walk the main strip with Mesero, Imoto, Billy Can Can, Jinya, etc on any night where it's nice out. Weekend nights are slammed. Hero and Happiest Hour are happening spots a couple hours before and after ...

Would love to see some work done on Turtle Creek running through the Design District. Should utilize the one bit of water running through it to help give the area something unique, especially with the ongoing and future residential development/trail enhancements.

Well more kick off articles with new pics.. plus this little tid bit..

The good news: The latest proposal keeps D2 out of Deep Ellum. The bad news: They still haven't put a stake through the heart of this abomination. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/city-council-committee-reviews-latest-dart-d2-path-unveiled-after-years-of-debate/2773147/ Just curious, why do you fe...

Well it is Plano and this development is a walled garden not a real walkable urban neighborhood. Legacy East was done much much better in terms of walkable neighborhoods with calming roads, retail and office space with parks. Legacy West is a strip center for luxury goods facing one street with a r...

I don't see why we need HSR/HL between two cities that close to each other. Upgrading TRE to light rail , increasing speeds and run times seems sensible The only way I could see HSR/Hyperloop making sense between Dallas & Fort Worth is down the line, once populations boom even further & mor...

The deck park previously proposed wasn't much better than the typical unused gardens you find in office campuses. It's probably best they went with a basic decorative pathway for now if it leaves open the possibility for a larger park in the future. With how hostile the pedestrian experience is on ...

^^^ especially since it seems the previously approved deck park will never happen. That's a shame because if any area would greatly benefit from a deck park, this is it. Speaking of parks...is that some sort of park on the north end of Headquarters between the highrise apartment tower and the midri...

Kairoi is co-developer of both Austin's 6XG tower (below) and the new 1,000-footer there. The only other tower they manage here is the Katy at Victory Park (3111 N Houston) but maybe this sale indicates some interest in not only owning but perhaps developing a tower here once Austin cools off. http...

Addison wrote:I think a MMTS that incorporates the D2 subway, Dallas <---> Houston HSR and DART's current light rail system would definitely be a game changer for downtown.

Still missing the DNT rail/light rail line though.

Don't forget the streetcar.

^^^ A LARGE hotel on the north side of Headquarters could possibly help connect both sides of Legacy West, but it's still a stretch. It's really a dead zone on that end. On another note, now that construction is done on the pedestrian walkaway across the tollway, I've noticed more people actually w...

So.....as I remember the lower level loft style apartments were originally intended as affordable ( somewhat ) residences for artists. Fast forward to 2021 and now they are hotel/apartment units that will go for $200.00 per night. How very Dallas. Beautiful building though. Wow. Steve Brown totally...

Someone humor me and reply regarding the above post I made. ^ lol

Just curious as to everyone's thoughts on what I wrote above.

Frisco high-rise project will kick off later this month at Hall Park New towers near the Dallas North Tollway will include residential, hotel and office space. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2021/10/13/frisco-high-rise-project-will-kick-off-later-this-month-at-hall-park/ Yep, just ...

This may be a longshot, but if what LongonBigD says is true about the lots, do y'all think a little "extension" of "Legacy West" (the core Windrose strip) could work down here? Let's say one of these lots gets filled up by a residential tower (unlikely but that'd be great). Cool,...

I've always been interested in these buildings just south of the George Allen Courthouse because they seem to have survived more than one push for "urban renewal" in that side of downtown. They were built in 1945 and 1955 per DCAD. As much as I like murals and breeze blocks, I'm really di...

Where will the second tower go? If anybody knows that for sure. Based on renders, I believe the one that's currently under construction is the eastern tower. The second future tower will go to the west of this one. I believe there's supposed to be a courtyard/miniature private park that will sit be...

Dallas.Eastside.Tower.jpeg This one has fallen off the radar. Any news or rumblings about its status? Hoping these towers will eventually sprout out of the vast concrete wasteland of East Downtown Dallas' parking lots. I've been keeping an eye out for anything regarding these, and sadly, I've seen ...

Tried out National Anthem - awesome place. The building itself is worth going, but the food is great too. Classic Badovinus menu - but it's an all-day kind of hang out (as opposed to Town Hearth and Neighborhood Services that are very much dinner spots). East Quarter is already far more vibrant jus...

Hmm... What do y'all think about Harwood having "proposed" multiple 400-500 ft. towers now? I know this isn't a formal proposal, but Harwood #__ was supposed to be the 400-500 ft. office tower, correct? Obviously, that didn't pan out or is still on hold (multiple Harwood towers in limbo it...

Here's the render from the DBJ article. One thing... The empty land on the bottom left corner of this image; do they own that, too? If so, that feels like a huge waste to have nothing there. Another tower (residential or office, whatever, with ground-floor retail/cafe/whatever) could go there, easil...

Developer Hoque Global Announces Initial Plans for Evans & Rosedale Development It will consist of multifamily residential, townhomes, a grocery store, as well as a possible coffeehouse-brewery concept. The project will be on East Rosedale near the South Freeway (I-35W); construction is planned...

I have no clue how to solve the issue because a lot of times, it's really just some stupid argument transpiring into a shootout. Two dudes arguing about some petty shit, one pulls out a gun and starts dumping. Ego hurt or fighting over a woman, same shit happens in Austin when I'm down there. Don't ...

Isn't there already that site in Turtle Creek that was purchased for the supposed $750M Four Seasons tower?

Not sure where the rumor about one going in Knox came from...

Yeah I agree, valet should be moved, but this would be nice to see for the area (I think?). Definitely would be some good height and at least there's some ground-floor action.

Damn, wish they'd try to bring back the original charm of the building... Although still wish that residential tower proposal from years ago happened here... Would be such a great spot for it.

I would love to see the skyline materialize as proposed in this development as it would really help pull downtown and Uptown together. It would be great if the skyline would push south in the Newpark proposal too. I just can't help but feel these things are very optimistic, especially with so much ...

There’s plenty of land to build on in that upper corner. I hope some more residential towers can get squeezed in there. I've been saying this. Known about the plans for the Ryan LLC offices in that corner for years now, but we just didn't know when they'd finally happen, and glad to see it's happen...

Looks like the Hall Park redevelopment will be kicking off next month with a new office tower. One render from DMN article, another I found by digging through the Hall website. Also, supposedly they're going to be kicking off a 12-story residential tower somewhat soon with around 200 units? Not bad,...

I'd really prefer to see more local/not giant corporations take up space in DTD. I'm not trying to start a conversation about "burn the corporations!!!," I just don't want Downtown to turn into chain after chain. However, staple retailers/chains, I get, and yeah, an urban Target would be a...

More residential in the Design District is needed. The DD location is great because of it's close proximity to West End and Victory Park. They just need to create some pedestrian and bike friendly walk-ways and paths. Agreed, the ped/bike infrastructure will, in a way, make or break the DD as a suc...

F Verizon, but many this area just keeps getting better. This view... Just imagine what this'll look like in 2-4 years.

Nice work digging that up for sure, and cowboyeagle, don't spoil the 458,582th movie for us!

Someone do some digging and find the renders, they gotta be out there...

Levi's Store Opening Soon (Between Fossil & The North Face-Level 1) Not a bad addition, depending on what "type" of Levi's store it ends up being. Not sure if any of y'all have ever been to the one in Legacy West, but they have the tailor shop in there which is definitely cool to have...

Is it too late to wish that the McKinney Ave Trolley would be extended to Knox Street? Any chance of Dallas applying funds from the Infrastructure Bill for the planned extensions in the CBD and to here? It seems like no one is advocating for the Trolley anymore. I have not heard these plans discuss...

Can't wait for this to finally break ground. Also, didn't realize it included a basketball court, which makes me so happy to see. Need more of those throughout the core.

Dallas planning and permitting and code enforcement is so screwed up. It's a wonder anything gets built. Over and over they quibble over minor BS and let major mistakes of planning and parking regs slide by. This sums it up perfectly, sigh. Also, you should join the Discord server, the quote makes ...

If DART has the proposals ready for funding then they are likely to get some sort of funding. Keep in mind our highways will be submitted first like the I-30 redo or other highway proposals already far along in the planning stages. Like the Obama's admin they will probably put a limit on road proje...

Welp, this has received city council approval (with some changes), so one step closer to possibly becoming a reality. Link to DMN article : https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2021/08/11/huge-skyscraper-project-north-of-downtown-dallas-gets-thumbs-up-from-city/ To summarize from the art...

Also, something actually regarding One Uptown...

According to them, they sold 13 units in July. Not too bad for first month after converting models.

So happy to see this go up, so cool. Makes me hopeful for futures of other parking garages throughout downtown, expect you know, that one on the SW side being built brand new... but hey, ground floor retail in a brand new parking garage!

Yeah, I really hope this gets off the ground, both One NewPark and the rest of the project. I fear that if nothing happens on this, *gag* SoGood in the Cedars won't happen either.

Is that it..? Like, it's done..?

I want these towers to be successful. But is it just me, or is this an incredibly aggressive move to develop two residential towers at once in a neighborhood with none? Technically, you have AMLI Design District already, but aside from that, I get what you're saying. However, I feel that considerin...
