Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

Many of you doubted it but I knew it was just a matter of time before someone realized the opportunity here in LC. There is definitely a market for this! This is the reason you stop giving all your prime spots away for basic 4-5 story apartment complexes.

That's an incredibly impressive lineup!!!

The Chamber was nice enough to email me back regarding the proposed office tower. Here's the scoop... It's called Urban Towers III, only 11 stories, 310K sq ft, scheduled to start in 2017 if they can get it 50% pre-leased. We know how that goes! Not sure whom the developer is but surprised they have...

I wouldn't be surprised if they removed all of that in an effort to appease the office tenants! It was pretty cool when they first went up. I remember they'd all go in different directions and then come together to show some cool artwork etc... Then they finally stopped moving and they just placed t...

Modern Market is very good. Pollo is terrible. I did try Pollo, I wouldn't call it terrible, but it definitely did not blow me away and I have no desire to go back. How much space is left in this shopping center? Modern Market and Zoe's Kitchen are good additions, but the rest of the tenant lineup ...

Some of the steel framing is starting to go up at the IMF. That's good to see!

Yes it is! There is a Fogo de Chao banner hanging on the fence of the project. I'm still confused by the success of Brazilian Steakhouses!! : )

^^ Yes, it does appear to be recent and modern. Everything they have in the lobby is recent and or projects that they're specifically working on or trying to attract. You're right, it could be nothing as typically is the case. I couldn't find any info on it. Maybe I'll walk by one day and go into th...

I thought it'd be cool had Pioneer decided to stay in the Urban Center and built a new high-rise. Instead of two 8-10 story buildings I would love to have seen a 20 story building. They could have located it on the lake within the proposed North Shore development and really got that development goin...

^^ That's pretty great news for Irving and for the start of the Hidden Ridge Development. It'll be nice to see how the entire project develops and how the retail & residential component materializes. Exciting stuff for LC with this , Irving Music Factory and Water Street. I could easily walk to ...

If you haven't been by the Irving Music Factory yet, the scope is actually much bigger than it looks in the renderings. Just the band shell / stage for the Live Nation Pavilion, which is going up, is quite a bit larger than I thought. Anticipated opening is Labor Day Weekend 2017.

^^ Well you beat me to the punch on Doc B's... I just read the info on Dallas Biz Journal. Actually looks like a cool place. Here's somewhat of a rendering on their website:

Hey Muncien,

If you click on the agenda packet you'll find it in the details... It's under Resolution 16. If I remember correctly the land they assembled was basically the old stadium parking lots north of 114 and including the Central Freight facility.

I have eaten at Pollo twice now and to be honest I can't see myself going back soon. As you mentioned I was completely underwhelmed and the food was so bland. I was also disappointed that the interior finish out seemed to be quite a bit cheaper than the location they had just opened in Southlake. Sp...

It's funny that you mention the Texas Stadium site. Currently before Council is a resolution to adopt the project and financing plan and to create TIR #6. Looking through the long agenda there was something that caught my eye. Someone has already bought 256 acres with plans for what they are calling...

I'm back!!!! Yes, permits have been pulled for Whole Foods. It's a go which is nice to see. That shopping center is dead on weekends and in the evening so it'll be nice to have some activity when WF opens.
