Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

^word 2,500 sq ft with a sweet terrace overlooking Highland Park - $10,000 - no problem. How much are those Mansion on Turtle Creek apartments? Maybe a decade, give or take, before adjacent Oak Lawn dwellings begin to overtake the value of Highland Park dwellings. As soon as Knox begins to swell at ...

I have a feeling Las Colinas and Galleria-Midtown will take some of the air out of Legacy-Miracle Mile.

http://www.dmagazine.com/business-economy/2016/11/why-north-dallas-is-the-center-of-it-all/ Why North Dallas Is The Center of It All Drilling down into the numbers behind this big, healthy, rapidly expanding market. BY CHUCK DANNIS NOVEMBER 16, 2016 Last month I was asked by the private wealth team ...

The Irving Art Center has a cameo in that video, but I'm wondering what-if that moves into the expanding heart of the Urban Center... close to the Convention Center rail station, and then starts on a course like the DMA, getting bigger and better. Economic impact on Irving would be great especially ...

Of course the team's lawyers would open an office there....

The Mavericks are not certain to leave AAC; the practice facility being readied is literally across the street - a very big street, but truly walking distance. Also, TxDOT, NCTCoG, DART,DMN and however many other initial groups have been made aware the reconstruction of I-35 must come with a shelter...

I thought I saw something in the DMN about the State Fair of Texas folks getting in hot water for covering up how they were spending money, but a quick search brought this blog entry from a website I don't know alot about: watchdog.org, http://watchdog.org/281877/state-fair-sanctions/ but it does mi...

How long is the old Blockbuster, Whole Foods, Walmart store going to sit there empty?

The party scene will not leave Uptown, but it will certainly calm down, or more accurately, grow up.

So, the legal teams are moving to Uptown and the design teams are moving to downtown.... interesting.

Amazing!

The loop is great! I'm not so sure when TCrow commitment to a loop-de-loo connection from Katy Trail to Trinity Strand via the new Goat Hill apartment got lumped into this deal, not sure that even matters, but I actually like the idea of a "signature" bridge over I-35. I think I read the p...

Will this be the biggest new apartment building? Some of the renovations have/will have more units, but with 416 this one is the biggest from-scratch, right?

Cotton Belt proponents may have to wait or be satisfied with BRT.

The market for oil needs to shrink, slowly and surely. The over use of plastic and continued over use of gasoline is ridiculous self-destructive behavior. Like a diabetic only eating fast food and drinking soda....

For some reason, I'm still surprise a hotel is on tap for Bishop Arts, and more surprised that I am actually surprised! Oak Cliff has been the biggest secret for decades, we all knew it would eventually be found out. It's kinda fun to watch as so many of Austin oriented acquaintances cite Oak Cliff ...

Nothing new that I could find. The topic undoubtedly will be in play at some point, this is just a starter. I think I remember correctly that TCrow has plans for the Haskell side of this property, and considering the demand for intown dwellings, that might actually move forward before the Sam's Club...

The door is opening! Next, the fancy jewelry stores come back. Led by high end retail, the CBD is solidly on track to be the most creative, selective, diverse shopping destination in the South Central US. The further out the population center grows, the stronger the case for a concentration of niche...

I think maintaining Harry Hines & McKinnon as highway access roads could play into the linear neighborhood being created along Harwood Street - sort of like the alley behind a house.... utilitarian in function. The neighborhood doesn't really continue south of McKinnon... Little Mexico Village i...

This one looks like a pretty nice renovation, reconfig, update, whatever.... The train to Houston promises to bring quite a bit of activity to this corner of town in a way that a sports arena or convention center could not. South Side will likely host most the train company's station-complex of comm...

I think the Haskell side of the property is proposed to have something like 700 apartments.

The former ACS HQ site along Central Expressway with a couple pending plans to redevelop the property. Midrise building on the north end (NCX @ Carroll) has been demolished to make way for a Sam's Club shopping center. Irregularities with rezoning for the shopping center put a halt on construction a...

^I believe you're right! ...well, for regular passenger trains that is, commuter or light rail; but if we're talking High Speed Rail between Fort Worth and Dallas then it's all good!

So, this the last developable Flora Address in the Arts District, right? The city performance hall has a pending whenever plan that could change, but with Hall Condos seemingly on tap, this will be the last of it. I wouldn't be at all disappointed to see the Belo addition replaced with a welcoming s...

I'm ready for another marquee Fortune 500 relocation! I've always thought the buy-sell corporate grinder trying to merge the data handling of EDS/Perot Systems/ACS into the deliverable products of Xerox/HP/Dell would eventually blow out a couple Dallas HQs, but maybe it'll be something totally diffe...

I don't remember if the route connecting MATA and Oak Cliff streetcars been decided; I think funding has been tentatively lined up....

Even without MATA extended to Knox, a fee probably should be collected to pay the drivers, maybe pay for sheltered stations....

More than likely, the products lined up for sale at the Crescent farmers market are already available and/or served in the hotel and similar others. This may simply provide a public retail venue to buy the delicious condiments as such being served with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I've never understood the absence of hostels from Dallas, especially Deep Ellum. It's the sort of accommodation seems like city would have refused to allow, but I do not think that's the case. Reminds me of an anecdote from the mid 90s, Deep Ellum was jamming, a noted national scene, Jamiroquai was ...

Those things were obsolete the day the turn 'em on.

^Before Uptown existed, it was all called Oak Lawn.... I hadn't thought the smokestacks (Victory Park) were Oak Lawn, but I can see that. Never would have called anything north of and including North Dallas High School Oak Lawn. ...although that nice stretch of Knox used to be pretty bohemian.

I thought the Katy Trail extension to Design District had a fancy trail spiraling under the highway to the Turtle Creek diversion channel in the Design District....?

The tree canopy in those condos is really nice. Hotel inventory in Greater Downtown Dallas has been under inflated for decades. There are many contributing factors to this reality, but since the Great Meltdown in the 1980s, downtown area has come to 2016 functioning with ~70% as many hotel rooms at ...

This was interesting.... I used Google maps searching for "Oak Lawn Dallas Texas" and attached is the geographic definition shown:

Looks like Fairmount is becoming the resident-pedestrian echo to Maple.... a pairing of sorts, like Carlisle is becoming to Katy Trail. Maple looks to have a similar future in Oak Lawn as Ross has become in the Central Business District. I sure would like to see zoning changes for the remaining (re)...

^Making downtown a more desirable workplace for suburbanites should still a primary goal.... and a subway that connects to the underground tunnel/breakroom of the gigantic legacy towers is an excellent way to spend the extra money. It's okay that many or most of the downtown office commuters are les...

Most of the time, I'd rather have a good hamburger than a steak....

D2 has been a priority over Cotton Belt since (at least) the Green and Orange line planning got past the halfway point; it was even a thing on the forum for a while about how the downtown choke point would reduce Red/Blue frequency and how-in-the-world would DART get the D2 built right away. As it w...

Still stuck in that 1999 traffic jam, while all around these downtown towers the population is growing with pedestrians.

Does the University of Dallas have any plans on the horizon to expand? I had not known until the Bush Presidential Library selection that UoD owns like more than a hundred acres of nice wooded Trinity River forest....

Lightly scanning through some of this stuff, I still don't see a plan that loosens the flood water choke point between Corinth and Cedar Crest...

^that's just to make sure the Sammons Foundation doesn't throw the remaining $40 million down the drain, if in three years, more money has been collected and it's adequately organized, the rest of the money is released.

...seems like after 30 years, we would already have a design.

With a little more elevation like this, Victory Park will be ready for a skyscraper.

...just imagine the smart downtown soirees that'll happen on that terrace. High enough to give a city view, low enough to spot something on the street. The style of 1950s rat-pack entertaining is coming back to Dallas, such a good thing because Dallas needs to be a little more buttoned up.
