I guess it's true what they say. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I need to go bleach my eyes after seeing this abomination...

Looks cool to me. Very Eclectic. Reminds me of Modernist Berlin Architecture

This looks great! I like it!

I think the style of these towers is actually quite good. And better than most glass boxes we get around here.

Let's just hope the West Village is at least nice.

The phrase "Deep Dive" was used very loosely in this 4 paragraph story

I don't see why we need HSR/HL between two cities that close to each other. Upgrading TRE to light rail , increasing speeds and run times seems sensible Huh? You do realize that DART’s light rail trains have a maximum speed of 60-65 mph vs the TRE locomotives maximum speed of 79 mph. How are you pl...

its surrounded by two other grocery stores that are considered not close enough cause those in the affordable housing are unlikely to own cars. Are you kidding me.. There's too many damn cars all over the place near those apartments/ townhouses by Cochran and those other little streets near by.. yo...

I really don't like how it's always the same developers proposing projects around Downtown.

I checked out the Google maps timeline, and it looks like they kept the brick facade intact, and just placed the stucco on wood framing over the brick. At least nothing got torn down. I'm really interested to see how this affects this generally quiet part of downtown on the weekends. These are not ...

CBRE, McKesson, Schwab - that's not really just taking what it can get. That's getting it. CBRE basically switched Addresses..

What happened to the Open Realty project for Henderson.. it died a slow and painful death .

I just want a 1000 FT + building. At this point idc what it looks like. I will be nice to have something bigger than 500 though. I hope all these new/proposed hotels and residential buildings keep coming. The more people downtown..ish the better imo. Well hate to break the bad news to you but if yo...

So that other structure with the crane is the garage? I thought it was the second tower going up at the se time.

It's Harwood. Expect renderings that look like 5% of the resulting product.

I think it would be pretty easy to bring in your local village idiot to burn down the convention center for a couple thousand bucks. Of course we would have provide the fuel flame throwers...

I dont get the magic of Bucees. I been to a few in travel across the state its a Walmart gas station big for the sake of what reason? At least Walmart has a reason to sell that much stuff I don't need. Most of Bucees squarefeet is so much trinkets and useless country crock decor. The only slightly ...

Some stats from the vid. 13.5K residents. About 95% units occupied. We need more housing. Downtown Dallas, Inc. tends to exaggerate. According to US Census figures, the total 2020 population inside the freeway loop was 10,598. Actually yes, I trust that the DDI can give u a more exact number on Dow...

Early on in my career I was in banking. I had the opportunity to work in OH, DE, IN, and NYC. One thing I noticed is that banks tend to put client facing roles in city centers. Along w/ higher regional positions. Operations/ back office type jobs are in mainly in soul crushing, non-descript, homogen...

Arlington loves to build sites for sports. if only they cared to do more to improve the quality of life that is the suburban hell scape that is their city.

What in the ‘bait and switch’ hell this? I guess their plan was to get the buzz out for years and years until the general public think it’s happening and want it to happen, and then throw out this “small detail” out there. As badly as I want a HSR, I hate that we were mislead about this aspect. Wha...

Hopefully this will encourage the State Fair to have the Texas Star improved. Its well past time for it to get some improvements besides just LED's. What, you don't like having your knees pressed up against the stranger's sitting across from you in that little cage? I wonder what they could even do...

HEB goes to the beat of their own drum. They don't seem to be in any rush and that's probably because they already have a CM across the highway

Downtown need a hardware store. We have an "urban" Home Depot here in Chicago. It's not in downtown, but something similar would be cool in the CBD https://www.archideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Home-Depot-01_1010x540_acf_cropped.jpg There's really no need for a hardware store in Do...

Levi's is now found at all Targets. I'm sure they'll have more of a selection of non Jean items. I hope they bring some of the more higher end Levi products

All Residential?...even better. There's far more of a likelihood that residential happens than an office dependent project.

Unfortunately, Dallas again fumbles away any real progress of pedestrian friendly development. This area a couple years ago had real potential. Everything off Ft. worth and Hampton had potential to be great. But then they allow a suburban strip mall and 24 he fitness and I lost all hope. This will b...
