The timeline for completion (December 2027) isn't as far off as you might think. A project of this magnitude, assuming this is the 80 story tower, would take 2.5 - 3 years for full completion. Remember that most of the parking is underground which takes quite a bit of time to build out and up. Plus ...

Just going to leave this here... Mandalay Canal Walk. Not sure if it'll ever come to fruition, but this info was just posted on the Retail Street website on Friday. If nothing else, some nice renderings.

If you go to the Residential page, they do have the project listed. Click on projects and wait for it to scroll across.

Well, might be time to finally update the thread name! Could have us a 50 story tower soon.

Score another Fortune 500 for Irving / Las Colinas! Caterpillar is officially moving. I remember when they leased at Williams Square last year, it wwas supposed to be just a regional office. I guess they were being a bit coy. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2022/06/14/caterpillar...

Looks like DFW is gaining another Fortune 500 Company (and so is Irving). Caterpillar is relocating to Las Colinas. I remember aout a year ago they leased 80sf at Williams Square for a regional operation, but guess they were keeping it under wraps. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies...

Say Kelley, looks like construction has started again on the site at Bush Tpk and Las Colinas Blvd (where Market Street was going to be). Any idea what’s planned now? I’m guessing retail since there’s a “For Lease” sign by the road. Good to see movement again after they dozed the trees then stopped...

So, I may or may not have helped both the DMN & DBJ break the North Shore news... :) I was really hoping that either of them would dig a little bit more into the project and come up with some renderings. I know the both have contacts at KDC & GFF, but seems like everyone is still pretty tigh...

Noticed today 2 separate pending P&Z cases related to North Shore. Not too much info available at the moment, but cases are for Office, Multifamily, Retail & Restaurant uses. A separate tract, right behind Texican Court is designated for a parking garage. If that is the case, I'm on board wi...

Found this article sort of interesting, about the potential sale of the Toyota Music Factory.

I walked through there yesterday. Looks amazing! Really hoping they can attract a few restaurants for the end-caps. But the park gets a huge thumbs up from me!

Well, more good news for this one moving forward...

Has anyone heard anything about this project recently? Actually, yes! It is moving forward. Back in January Fort Worth received $400 million from the Army Corps of Engineers. It'll allow them to finalize and complete all the plans. Here's an article for reference: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/...

Fish City Grill (Las Colinas) is closing permanently on May 22nd. Sephora & James Avery will be taking over the old GAP space on MacArthur. Pet Supplies Plus will be taking over the old Pier1 space. Haha, I see you read my updates on the Las Colinas Social Facebook page! :) Also, Tupelo Honey w...

Site grading has started for the Lifetime Fitness. Not sure if they've signed any tenants for the pad sites yet, but at least Lifetime is getting underway.

AND, we have another NEW owner. This actually seems more promising though. They are going to finish the movie theatre ASAP which is nice. And they're local.

Addison is sort of a funny restaurant market. Everybody thinks they need to open a location in Addison, but I see so many concepts open & close. Even a number of successful concepts seem like they're just getting by. I love Meso Maya, but it was never really that crowded for some reason. Now som...

I think they'll all serve very different markets and clientele. The Las Colinas location is a true resort with 2 golf courses, multiple resort style pools, villas, beautiful grounds to walk etc...The Uptown location seems to serve mostly business travelers and weekend getaways.

Came across this today, listed as Coming Soon for the Mandalay Canal Walk. Could be nothing but they apparently have hired a retail leasing team.

Looks like the Four Seasons is set to become a Ritz Carlton, with Chef John Tesar opening several restaurant concepts (Italian Steakhouse, Burger Restaurant and a Poolside Taco & Tequila Bar). Looks like a top to bottom renovation on the way! https://escapehatchdallas.com/2022/04/the-four-season...

AND they just leased 74K sf to financial firm Houlihan Lokey. Taking the top 3 floors. They're definitely seeing some momentum!

From what I hear, Urby II will be under construction by the end of Summer. This is what New York developers do. They don't sit around and contemplate the circumstances. They committed to build in Dallas and they are following through. Good for them. Looks like it should start in August... https://w...

Well..... Actually had a conversation with the leasing team for Star Park. They told me they have 4 -5 tenants coming to lease within a month. So, looks like things are shaping up maybe. No word on what type of tenants or names though. I feel like when agents start to panic they start signing leases...

Hudson House opens this Thursday. I hope business is so brisk it spurs other restaurateur's to take a look at the area. I'm still shocked that we haven't seen ANY movement on the vacant spaces at 114 & 161 (Star Park) besides the Starbucks and PF Chang's.

More good news for The Link. PMG leases 50K sf.

That makes more sense! Should be a nice spot for them.

Looks like STK Steakhouse might finally be coming to Dallas. I believe this would be the old Sambuca space on McKinney Ave.

Looks like the Super Fountain is now just 3 separate fountains, that don't shoot near as high into the air as first mentioned. More of just an art piece now rather than a Super Fountain. Still a nice addition though!

Kelley USA

That's a good location for Mexican Sugar! I know originally Hugo's was planned for that space pre-covid, but they pulled out and eventually opted to take the Mi Cocina spot in West Village. I thought Mexican Sugar might have taken over the old Perry's Steakhouse space.

Love the project, but the architecture does little for me ( I know, sorry, just my opinion). A few things that I really like. All the parking is underground, that's huge!

Now that I think about it, I do remember reading that the HPV Management and Leasing Team had been retained to also lead the leasing & marketing for Knox. So who knows!

I really don't understand all the Harwood hate on here?? As far as I can tell, they're one of the few developers getting ANYTHING done in this city.

If you remember, the City of Irving allowed the ARK Group to convert empty retail space at the Toyota Music Factory into office use.

I don't see this being an issue in the slightest. Companies like to pretend they're woke and they like to virtue signal while really doing nothing about the issues.

There most likely is some sort of addendum to the lease which would allow Hunt to give a Notice to Vacate. The majority of leases would probably expire before any construction would begin anyways. The remaining tenants would be given a nice little payment to help relocate. The Uptown 20 & 30 som...

But couldn't you argue that this development is sort of surrounded by residential?
