Drove by here this morning, noticed a large crane has been erected up on top of the hill overlooking the Canyon property. Looks like maybe it might front Westmoreland but not sure.

;) It's well established that the origin of FW's association with panthers was the published Dallas newspaperman's slur that a wild panther* had been seen (fast asleep, even?) in the street in Fort Worth in broad daylight simply because Fort Worth had so little going on there to deter it. So they m...

How much water got into the construction hole? I noticed some equipment partially submerged after a rain last week.

Google Maps shows a bunch of green grass on the SE corner of Corinth and Botham Jean, maybe its the blocks to the east-northeast of Botham Jean delineated by the DART tracks this refers to? Kind of hard to come up with a direction based adjective since those roads are not purely north-south and eas...

That would be a huge improvement.

After 25 years, Dallas’ Victory Park is nearing the finish line
Only about three development sites remain in the 75-acre mixed-use project northwest of downtown.

This is a significant change for this area, I happened past this area recently and noticed some other smaller abandoned one story buildings also gone so maybe redevelopment momentum is taking hold. I assume the biotech hub is helping to push that along.

This one actually turned out pretty nice! Impressed with the building, appreciate how they at least tried to enhance the outside of the parking garage, and the overall landscaping is pretty lush. Nice to see something a bit more modern in the Urban Center. Also, just seeing Wells Fargo going up, it...

So this was actually last week. Did it get approved?

Noticed this one is visible from 75, anybody know what floor they are on?

I was over in Arlington recently and saw this project, they have made a lot of progress since 2021. Interesting sight to see, this giant box sitting up on stilts.

That water looks like raw sewage.

Streetcar through downtown Dallas may fill new transportation needs

Which one is that?

Least this one is approaching ground level.

So, technically do we have the official word from HEB that this is going to be turned into a Central Market? I don't see a story or link on that.

Is it just me or does the Goldman Sachs rendering look like an oversized 70s office building?? Not really, if it were wrapped in highly reflective gold glass it would. This building does give me a 60's vibe tho. I don't actually think they will be bad looking, they would look better if the rest of ...

Speaking of downtown, maybe the city should try to land one of these before Frisco does. Seems like a great fit for the city in need of an attraction.

Are those lights bright enough to be a negative for potential residents? Especially when they are rotating patterns.

If you want to see what works all you have to do is look at Uptown and if you want to see what doesn't work just look at downtown. It's abundantly clear since Uptown appears to attract business while downtown repels it. And on the issue of making it a hotel, how many hotels can downtown realisticall...

KWP is the gift that keeps on giving, and also a curse. Interesting to watch, and actually Uptown is having a really good run right now. Downtown, not so much. I think when I first came to Dallas the downtown vacancy rate was 40%, guess we are back there again.

This will all depend who the secret entity is that purchased it. I as well hope for something tall and big here but I always do with any site near the city center.
