Re: Downtown Dallas: Hillwood Urban's ~50 storey tower on former BoA motorcourt
Though, it may be a landmark site, that is the furthest from a landmark building. I don't like it at all.

Re: Oak Lawn: Congress & Welborn (~21 ST)
I'm hopeful we'll end up with an actual HEB at the Lemmon location. As for this tower and the other one on the boards a few blocks from it, I think it actually makes sense for the whole area to be more dense with a mix of towers, midrise, 4-8 story structures, and townhomes. While not all properties...

Re: Downtown Dallas: The Drever
I really hope this one picks up some steam ASAP. It still seems like it has a long way to go and I never really get a sense of a lot of activity going on. That said, it is a large project and I know a lot was done before. I often felt the same when passing the Statler, but that one has been making i...

Re: Downtown Dallas: Couryard by Marriot -12 Stories
Very odd that they face the deadest part of the site, and ignore the plaza and Houston St where the action is. I bet whoever designed this did not even bother to visit the location. I don't hate that it faces Record, which is much more pedestrian friendly than Houston, but the surface parking along...

Re: Victory Park: The Katy (310 FT / 30 ST)
I've been looking forward to what comes of the redevelopment and mixing of incomes within Little Mexico Village for a long time and for all of the reasons stated above. I think a lot can be done with it that will go a long way to improve all around. While I am thinking about it, this reminds me of s...

Re: Deep Ellum: Case Building
Hannibal Lecter wrote:It is totally out of scale for the neighborhood. This isn't Uptown. It looms over everything on the eastern half of Deep Ellum. About half the height would have been fine.
To me it blends with Baylor.
Also, that end seems to be more Exposition Park and the edge of Deep Ellum

Re: Knox: The Katy
That little slice of pie from just south of Knox north until the pie ends at Central will, no doubt, organically become more dense and high end. It will be the missing link... Turtle Creek, but with more walkability and places to actually walk to. The apex of Uptown... where Uptowners aim to "m...

Re: Arlington: Mass Transit
It would be better to simply have a commuter line like the TRE along 30 or close to it between Dallas and Fort Worth Downtowns with a stop in GP and Arlington. Then express trains on the route for events along with the scheduled trains. There should really be an express train option for Downtown Dal...

Re: Fair Park
A couple of reasons I'm sure for them I'm sure. Keep mind the set around the event is important and Fair Park while containing some beautiful architecture in some cases with tons of history isn't the same as the skyline setting that Big D NYE desires. WFAA wants to sell this event as a pseudo-NYC e...

Re: Knox: The Katy
I think it is quite possible, as that is for the top tier and the range goes down to very typical rents in Uptown. I think Knox Park as whole is aiming to be Uptown without all of the bars and partying, which I think definitely has a place in this market. While Turtle Creek Does provide this to a de...

Re: Design District: Dallas Mavs Practice Facility
If AAC is ever demolished, I hope an underground parking garage is put in its place and that a large part of the footprint becomes a park and then we'd have an actual Victory Park. Decking part of lowest Stemmons or even putting a nice bridge or at least a bridge to the rail stop would be the cherry...

Re: Uptown Dallas: The Crescent
That's a good point. I do think that, for some people in Uptown, it may discourage people that live in Uptown to go to the CBD Farmer's Market. But, you're probably right in that it will attract many new people who wouldn't have otherwise gone in the first place. It feels like there is, currently, ...
