I'm also guilty, I completely forgot about this one. What a great problem to have, I wonder how many other towers will quickly rise up while still flying under the radar going forward.

DPatel304

I disagree. Pre-covid, there were certainly times when Main Street felt busy enough to feel like you're walking in any other major city and the Farmer's Market is teeming with people on the weekends (during the day). I really do think in five years time, the EMC corridor, the West End, and the East ...

It's funny to think this was one of my most anticipated projects back when it was announced. I'm pretty indifferent about this project right now, I just hate that we're now stuck with this ugly empty patch of land.

I did my usual walk through Downtown today for the first time in months and, despite the weather being pretty perfect, much of Downtown felt pretty dead to me. Victory Park was a ghost town, as was the West End, and Main Street also felt pretty dead as well. Fortunately the Discovery District was b...

This is the building right next to the upcoming West End Park. I'm not really sure what this project is, but it looks like some work is being done to it.

DPatel304

It's coming together really nicely!

I forgot the name of this development, and I'm not entirely sure if this area is still considered Victory Park. This is just north of Wooddall Rogers right across the street from where the Hard Rock Cafe used to be.

According to this recent video, they said service will start in March of 2023. This may be old information, I haven't exactly been on top updates for the Silver Line, but I thought I'd share since this video was posted semi-recently.

This is looking very nice! I'm looking forward to this one being completed, The Epic, and Good E, I think this area will be bustling when all of these projects are completed.

I noticed what seems to be a major trail expansion on the Trinity river bed on the East Side of the river. The new trail is fully paved and stretches from the Hampton Ave bridge to the Sylvan Ave bridge. Currently it still appears closed but contains what appears to be at least three small weathere...

The park is currently under construction in the heart of the district, with a proposed opening in January of 2021.

We're getting close to the opening date of this park!

This project has totally gone off radar & has been overshadowed by the most recent announcements in Victory Park & Uptown. Should be interesting if this one ever gets going. Haha, you're absolutely right. I had completely forgotten about this, but that's a good sign that we have so many goo...

As the economy starts to really get back on track in 2021, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more relocations to Texas and the DFW area.

Thanks for sharing! I live very close to this development, so this is something I would have liked to attend, but I won't be able to tomorrow.

It looks like there is no virtual option here?

DPatel304

I'm also mixed on this. Personally, I think with the way Dallas is designed, we should be going 'all in' with our bus system and focus on how we can get people around urban Dallas quickly/efficiently using buses. But I suppose I do realize that no matter how good we improve the bus system, if people...

I think the biggest piece of news here is that Caven Enterprises actually sold some of their land. My understanding is that they have been a big part of why this area hasn't seen much developmeng lately and they have been very anti-development. The impending wave of development washing over Oak Lawn...

Seeing as how they are right off the heart of the strip, I really hope they do a good job of mixing in with the existing tenants. “We plan to have a 70-foot waterfall coming down the side of the building.” I wonder if it would be possible to add some lighting to make this rainbow colored, that would...

Agreed. Isn't that the case in other cities where their 'Uptowns' and 'Deep Ellums' and 'Victory Parks' are all just considered a part of (or an exapansion) of Downtown?

I still don't agree about Austin 'out shinning Houston/Dallas' though..haha, but we're all on the same team, and Texas, as a whole, is doing tremendously well!

I'm telling you, when the masks come off, this town is going to explode with growth like we've never seen before.

I stopped by this afternoon for a couple drinks. I'd say it was decently busy, considering they are still in their 'soft opening' phase.

Never heard of her, but I have heard of Laguna beach. Looks like she has 4.1 million followers on Instagram, and about 40 of my friends are following her too.

Happy to see Deep Ellum getting some good publicity yet again!

Great news, I like it! I actually remember seeing this building for sale for a while on loopnet.

Thanks! I should have mentioned that I don't have access to the full article, so it was likely that my question was answered in the body of the article itself.

That particular part of Uptown seems to be very hot these days, so I could totally see this happening!

In general, I agree that a lot of these new developments lack originality. With that said, I'm okay with this particular building simply because of the location. All other surrounding buildings are quite a bit older, so this creates a nice contrast in the area, and I certianly wouldn't mind a few mo...
