^^ But if I had to guess, this might be the new $100 million Dude Perfect Theme Park. They're already headquartered in Frisco and most of the guys live in Frisco.

This could be interesting.... Hmmmm?!?!

Fogo de Chao is taking over the old Walk-ons it seems. I know they just approved a new ground-up build for Fogo on the other side of 635 (right on the corner near the 7-11 HQ, where the new Green Acres nursery is opening). But I guess they could save a little bit of $$ if they revamped the Walk-ons...

I mean, I do think Kona Grill, Maggiano's and Breadwinners are all serviceable restaurants for Northpark. I do miss the days of Luna de Noche though. I hit that place up ALL the time!

Also, Season's 52 has closed as of Jan 2nd.

Looks like The Gingerman is on the way out. A new restaurant called Tivona will be taking over the space. Could be that maybe The Gingerman will be moving into the old Ouzi space, as that space does have a LOI on it?? I think it would be missed if it closed all together.

Never heard of it... Just a one-off restaurant from a local company?

I meant to post this earlier, but the entire 300 acre Exxon Mobil campus has been purchased by Capital Commercial Investments. They're hoping to create a luxury master-planned community that will help attract additional Fortune 500 companies. We'll see what comes of it, but could be promising. Same ...

Strange things are afoot at the Frys :) Yes, I can speak to that. That location is being turned into 2 separate tracts. The Fry's will be turned into indoor storage units. The outside of the building will be completely refaced. The south tract, closest to 635, will be developed as retail (1 large t...

I have been to National Anthem a number of times. Always packed when we go, reservations definitely recommended. But to be honest, we generally just eat and leave. No reason to really stick around the area, and for safety reasons, we'd prefer not to walk over to Deep Ellum at night. But parking is e...

Was in the Harwood District this weekend. Some friends and I met for drinks at Harwood Arms, their British Pub concept, and then we walked next door for pizza at Pico Fiasco. The entire area was buzzing. It was absolutely packed! Thankfully we had reservations for Pico, but the wait for a table was ...

Found this on the Corgan website. It's clearly the old Texas Stadium site, and I'm sure this plan is super old, but neat to see the possibilities. Assuming this may have been part of the Irving pitch for Amazon HQ2.

Ain't that the truth. I saw a new Spectrum store opening in the Whole Foods shopping strip. This has to be the lamest Whole Food anchored shopping strip I've ever seen. Oh, but Dave's Hot Chicken is open off 635. It's really good; so there's that. We're lucky to have the Whole Foods, they nearly ca...

So I think I'm counting about 20 levels of parking? I know they're trying to hide it, but still sticks out like a sore thumb.

Anyone know what is being built in the tiny green space behind the ‘Stand Up Paddle’ (SUP) hut and sorta under the new/unused APT station at the Water Street property?

Are they building only the Sandman Signature hotel or also the Sutton hotel in Star Park together? Both are Canadian chain of hotels. The entire perimeter seems to be blocked off; so I remain hopeful. Right now, it is just the Sandman Signature. They have not pulled any permits for the Sutton (both...

I'm usually one to never bring up traffic, as I've always thought it's just what you get for living in certain areas... But poor Knox is going to take a beating with all these new developments. It's already congested!

I could be wrong, but I think Harwood IS the operator, much like they do with all their restaurants. I believe it's part of Harwood Hospitality.

I can speak a little to this. The current population within the Urban Center is approximately 9K (maybe a bit more). There are 22 apartment complexes and 2 townhome developments.

^^ Yes, it's a jazz place called Visions Eatery. They haven't actually applied for alcohol license yet though, so sort of weird. As for the old Allstate site, it's going to be mixed-use with an apartment complex, 4 story office building and townhomes for purchase. Also, Outback Steakhouse, 7-11 and ...

The timeline for completion (December 2027) isn't as far off as you might think. A project of this magnitude, assuming this is the 80 story tower, would take 2.5 - 3 years for full completion. Remember that most of the parking is underground which takes quite a bit of time to build out and up. Plus...
