Probably asked before but why did they even bother with roads through this development, seems like they could have made all to access points from the streets surrounding the development.

Are you referring to the DART rail system that has lost ridership every single year it has been open except for those years where they opened new lines, forcing people off the buses? The one that is so pivotal to the Dallas economy that 85% of regional population growth over the past twenty years h...

Considering how well Plano West has done, the barreling resurgence of Las Colinas and the stealthy success of Cypress Waters, Frisco's $5 Billion Mile might lose a billion or two for a decade or so.... Truth here, Legacy West has already sort of "stolen the show" but south Frisco is plugg...

I did hear recently that the decision was made to build out the entire development at once and not in phases but I have not been by to see if much has changed.

Not enough people around yet.

I don't think Cedar Springs looks that bad. Especially the block with Roundup and Hunkys. They could just do some little things to spruce it up a bit. Rainbow crosswalks will be fun too. I don't think it looks so great but I don't think areas with bars ever look that great so it probably doesn't ma...

Also, there is no podium but the penthouse is enormous and looks like it could almost be three or four floors so that would add to the overall height.

I found this on the website, if the ceilings are already high one can assume this feature would add to that height per floor. http://www.hallartsresidences.com/building/ HALL Arts Residences features a raised floor system, which enhances each home by providing several advantages that promote energy ...

It's been so long since I have walked in this mall I'm not sure I would even know the place anymore.

This coming weekend is out but next weekend is possible.

^I have never seen it but have heard positive remarks about it and it looks pretty cool from the pictures. I believe it is somewhat similar but the Trinity River is probably a larger body of water. Dallas has the opportunity to do something really great here, for the first time in a long time I thin...

^Well at least wildly expensive. I can see the Lower GV to downtown portion being fairly popular but still don't know that east Dallas has the density to really support it.

This is a 25 story tower? Still, a fairly significant addition to the skyline along with the other two mentioned although I think AMLI will be the most striking and significant change since Museum Tower.

Large scale retail may never come, with Grand Prairie scheduled to add a million sf around IKEA including something like 24 restaurant pad sites and five hotels we may never see retail migrate towards Mountain Creek in any large quantity.

The apartments are on top of the hill where Eagle Ford Drive ends at Camp Wisdom. There are already apartments there, the developer just wants to add two more phases so the complex will be quite large when finished. I believe I counted around 440 new units. There was some issue about fire truck acce...

So basically they need fitness places for all the people stuffing their faces to go work off all the calories.

Mountain Creek area is getting really busy all of a sudden. First Industrial started clearing 100 acres along Mountain Creek Drive south of I-20 for a 1.2 million sf warehouse project, Exxon station started north of I-20 and two smaller parcels rezoned for smaller warehouse/industrial on Merrifield ...

Ah, ok thanks, I missed that. I can't wait to see what the marble looks like when it's fresh. I bet the entire building will be a stunning tribute to architecture from that era.

So looking at the pictures from the article above I see what appears to lots of windows removed from the side of the building. Are those going to be balconies?

This area twenty years ago was like a warzone. Gang warfare and just outright crime. It's still no better now than it was back then. However, there have been signs of slight improvement now that all of the warehouses have been going up. I wondered about this so I looked at the Dallas crime maps to ...

I really wish that on ramp was not there on field. Would be nice if a nice pedestrian promenade would be built that connected The Asian museum with the Perot Museum. If they build a connector from the park to the Perot tower could they also extend that to the Asian museum? It would obviously be tri...

Is there a road that runs along the DART tracks in that area? Google maps has not been updated with the new tracks and station in satellite imagery. If not, and they don't plan to build one that goes to lancaster road with good sidewalks, then I don't see how this site has reasonable DART access. I...

The Southeast Asian museum site being that big is great. If it includes a lawn and water feature like the Museum of Modern Art in FW, that would be a huge draw to the public and potential residents if there is a tower. As for Trammel Crow building anything in the next five years on the BofA site, t...
