Got some news on the MF that should be well received. If this is an indication of things to come, then I'm excited! So The Green Gator has closed, Mama Tried will be sliding down and taking The Green Gator space, and then JAXON (yes, that JAXON that was at AT&T Discovery District) will taking bo...

Saw an article yesterday where Billingsley was saying developers need to be build new office space DT in order to keep and attract companies... And I thought, hey, you're a developer with available land DT. So, was curious if her Two Arts Plaza was still being kicked around & dusted off, and sur...

I'm sure it's part of the overall development plan, but surprised there's not some resort style or hip boutique hotel at Grandscape yet. With all the restaurants and entertainment options, seems like it would be a popular spot.

I'm still keeping my hopes up :lol: . I did notice some materials in the parking lot of the old movie theater north of the Walmart (Valley Ranch). Anyone heard if anything is going on there? The old theater and Fry's are two huge properties just sitting vacant out there...and I heard a rumor that 2...

I always see these projects pop up on the Executive Session portion of Council meetings, but rarely do you ever hear of one coming to fruition. The most recent, and one that actually did come to fruition, was Project Falcon, which turned out to be the Wells Fargo development. Mehrdad Moayedi might b...

That's great to hear! Also, sounds like Delucca Pizza has signed a lease at Star Park near Tupelo Honey. That'll be another great addition to the center.

Here's the thing about Harwood... They show us flashy photos, the end result never looks anything like the proposal, but in a swath of bland architecture that is Dallas, I think an argument can be made that Harwood at least pushes the envelope on design more than anyone else developing here. AND the...

One of the cranes went up a few days ago at the Wells Fargo development. Also found some construction cams on the KDC website if anyone is interested.

My main gripe with Trademark is that they're in denial that the center is struggling. They always act optimistic when stores close, and say that they're "excited to work with new tenants," but then the empty spaces aren't filled. I wouldn't necessarily say that. What they might think inte...

J Crew is coming to Las Colinas. Really liking the new approach at MacArthur Park with Sephora, James Avery, Victoria's Secret.

Tupelo Honey opens next week (June 6) in Star Park and I see another space in the shopping center is being worked on. Yes, I was lucky enough to snag a reservation for the Friends & Family event at Tupelo on Sat night. Free food! The other spot currently being built-out is for a dentist, nothin...

ChopShop Restaurant / Bar will be taking the old Red Hot & Blue space at Las Colinas Village. They have locations in Carrollton, Roanoke, McKinney and I believe they just opened a new location in Victory Park. On another note, I'm kind of surprised the approach the leasing company is taking with...

Sickies Burgers Garage will be opening in the old Walk On's location on Regent. Interesting! Looks like a cool concept. Food isn't that much different from what Walk-On's offered, and they failed miserably in this location. Concept kind of looks like Ford's Garage in Plano which is a cool place. Ho...

Looks like they're trying to build a 5 story AC Hotel on the little sliver of land right next to the Holiday Inn Express near the Music Factory / Convention Center. Design is pretty bland, but looks like it would have a 2nd floor pool deck and a restaurant. Parking is an issue though, and from watch...

A good friend of mine was working this property. His firm had proposed a 12 story office building with a new cool river on the ground floor, but that deal fell through about 3 years ago. I know someone else owns the property now, and as far as I can tell it's still being actively marketed For Sale. ...

If you look at those 2 new renderings, they're actually totally separate designs. It's not the same tower in both photos.

Have heard that a plan is coming soon to activate the canal near Mandalay Canal. The Las Colinas Assoc and City of Irving are looking to invest up to $2 million on lighting, hardscape, signage etc...

Looks like the City of Irving and Irving Fire is working with DART to build a new Fire Station 8 on the corner of Spur 348 & Riverside Drive (it's where the DART bus transit station sits).

I heard Costco, but certainly hoping it's HEB! On another note, we can finally put to rest if Wells Fargo is going to back out of the deal. Looks like full steam ahead. There are probably 4 or 5 construction trailers that were moved on-site within the past few days, and construction signs are starti...

Just an FYI, the roof is actually going to be solar panels. The design is growing on me a bit. I just think they really missed the mark, and really the last hope for Las Colinas to see anything built with any sort of height. There also seems to be very little connection to the surrounding developmen...

Looks like some new tenants have been added to Star Park at 161 / 114, including Saladworks, Rumble Boxing, Rachel's Kitchen, Salon, Dentist and YOLK. Not really a stellar lineup they've brought in, but at least they are filling out the space. I think only 2 spots would be left.

I mean, who knows! I did see that this was recently added on the KDC website.

I honestly don't mind it. My first impression was that it looks very similar to the Marriott as well. I think it'll actually turn out better than expected, if it gets built at all.

Was sort of digging around today and noticed a few pending leases. Looks like site plans have been updated with "pending" or "in-lease" for the Sleep Number space in front of Whole Foods, the vacant Red, Hot & Blue space and also the Walk-Ons space next to Lupe Tortilla. No ...

If you're talking about the lot next to Gables Water Street, Gables still owns that property. It was destined for Phase 2 of Water Street. BUT, there has also been a very old zoning change sign on that lot that hasn't been removed yet. I'll have to drive by and take a look.

So looks like not all is lost for The Gingerman. It appears they'll actually be moving into a much smaller space. They'll be taking over the El Famoso spot, which is only about 1800sf with a much smaller patio. But assuming this may be a better fit for them!

Yes, that Bloomberg article has a rendering. Looks pretty, but no roller coasters or crazy big rides. Looks like a pretty docile theme park for the young kids.
