Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

I asked today when I was in the Annex, guy said he wasn't sure of any specific names but knew they wanted a nice sit down restaurant. To be honest I don't see a lot of room down there for 4-5 different restaurant types, I would think that the remaining space alone would be a tad small for a La Madel...

Downtown Dallas' high-profile Museum Tower is almost sold out https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2018/07/26/downtown-dallas-high-profile-museum-tower-almost-sold The 42-story residential building in downtown's Arts District is 90 percent sold, according to agents with BriggsFreeman/Sot...

They have been taking some measurements on the exterior of the garage. Hopefully they will get started soon.

They didn't waste any time, digging fast and getting forms ready to go in the ground.

I am far enough away I can't be sure but I see a white patch on the building so am wondering if they are starting to apply the white lace exterior.

^I am all in on restoring those tiles, worst thing they ever did to that building.

5 surprising details about the Dallas Cowboys' $1.5 billion insta-city in Frisco, The Star

The exterior cladding has started to make an appearance. Saw it from up and far away but it looks very white.It also appears they are working on the individual retail spaces or close to it.

If somebody in Plano suggested that they need 200,000 more people living in apartments and other dense residential living situations I am fairly sure people living there would come unhinged. Although it would be fun to watch.

They are pouring the 7th floor and it's apparent they will be moving up to 8 as the forms for the ramps to go up another level are already in place. Huge garage keeps getting larger. I guess one more after 8 for a total of 9?

It's supposed to be white, that doesn't look white to me so I am guessing that part comes later.

That is an enormous unshaded plaza area, I'm a little surprised they didn't try to do something to shade even a little bit of that area. They could have put up a giant louver not unlike what surrounds The Winspear. I guess that costs too much.

I'm not really a fan of these things since it isn't a new or unique idea but more like a "we have one too" experience that every other city will have. On the other hand if it lures tourists downtown and into Cedars is that a bad thing? It does at least contribute to the level of activity i...

The city of Dallas at its finest.

There are 8 garage floors so the top of that would be the 9th floor if that makes sense. The outdoor patio garden and pool look to be on 9.

It's going to start moving fast.

Lots of activity this week as they have starting work on the residential tower while they finish up the base.

I believe there was some discussion around this very issue when Harwood proposed those two supertalls and many here thought Harwood was testing the waters to see what could get approved. Is there a chance that is happening here, they are just testing the waters.

Actually think it looks great, love the sidewalk they installed.

8-13-18 is less than a month out, any sign that anything is actually happening here?

You do understand that there isn’t a net change in jobs right? We paid them $4.8M to move across city borders which I believe is a dangerous precedent. These kinds of cross border moves happen all the time and have been doing so for about as long as I can remember, to be honest I really have to han...

Personally I like the idea of Uptown getting some infill hotels like this with event space contained in the building that will more than likely be booked well in advance. This one is good, the WV hotel is great, in reality I'd love to see more of these scattered about.

I see a little sign for Annex, nice little coffee shop. Costs a little more than Starbucks but it's worth it.

Still no published design?

Pictures look nice and shows some promise.

No they have been continuing the march upward pretty much continuously, the only thing that stops them is rain. They pour concrete every day. I did notice that they are reaching the top level of the garage and are setting the support columns for the top of the podium but that just started today whil...

Walsh is way out there west of Forth Worth, doesn't really strike me as urban.

I wish this one were about 10 floors taller.....well, I say that now...once the glass goes in I may change my mind.

Back on AMLI, an observation about the now completed 10 story parking garage. Being in an office that looks down on this complex I can not help but notice that they have an abundance of parking in that garage. So much so that once you get above the third level there appear to be very few cars parked...

I remember when the number was 4,000, then 6,000 but always going up. 10,700 doesn't sound unreasonable at this point. Downtown, Uptown, VP and DE are so closely tied together I don't know how you just exclude them anymore.

I have always felt that Legacy West sort of sucked the life out of everything else around it while it was such a hot ticket. It will be fun to see what happens with Legacy East if any of that gets off the ground. Plano has a solid reputation building live-work-play environments that seem to be well ...

Here is something, looks like a fairly typical freeway widening project that promises to alleviate congestion but probably won't.

Burleson has one too.

The sales pace is certainly better on this tower.

Isn't that the one that ended up costing like $130k per 400 sqft "cottage?" Surely there's a better solution. You could likely give them a 3/2 single wide mobile home and lot on the city outskirts for less than that.

It is worse than most people thought and it deserves much more attention, a little embarrassing news coverage can do wonders for fixing problems.

I much prefer this to having the rangers move into the city, this is perfect. For local residents, you can even walk on the Katy Trail to go to a game and stop at a local restaurant or bar on the way home. I can't wait to see what kind of local support the team gets.

That is a seriously deep garage. Glad that went down and not up.

Maybe the resistance to build residential at 2000 Ross now was a smart play.
