Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

Thank goodness...that has been an eyesore for far too long!

eburress

Indeed! You can already start to imagine the impact it will have at the pedestrian/street level, as well as the hole in the skyline it will help fill.

What did "Dallas" do to Turkish Mike? My impression was that his schemes were all at best half-baked.

eburress

For what it's worth, every non-Dallasite (friends, visitors, work colleagues, etc) I've ever spoke to thought Uptown, LoMac, Victory, Deep Ellum, etc were all part of Downtown. There was no distinction to them. For those who know though, I think the Klyde Warren extension and developments like the C...

^^ Which was inevitable, but didn't make it any easier for the 1999 McKinney residents to stomach. Despite how obvious this should have been to people buying there, they had to know their views were going to change.

I like the project, both its design and scale. I personally like the mix of styles but I get how it's not everybody's cup of tea.

Your hopes about the building's appearance or whether it happens at all?

For what it's worth my confidence level is pretty that it will happen given Harwood's track record. The quality of the building's architecture though, we'll see...

I've felt there are a lot of parallels between the relationship of Dallas and Austin to that of LA and San Diego. Dallas and LA are larger, upscale, pretentious, etc while Austin and San Diego are smaller, laid-back, less image-focused, etc. With the way Austin's tech sector is growing though, I agr...

What does the status "determined" mean?

Beauty Bar is also moving to Deep Ellum. I believe this weekend is their last on Henderson.

Good for you for walking anywhere over there. With Lee park (or whatever it's called now), Turtle Creek, and the Katy Trail, there's so much good stuff to walk to but it's still so rare that anybody does.

eburress

^^ Too true!

eburress

I really hope this building happens! Down with the NIMBYs!

eburress

That's so cool! I've been to the Henry a few times already and everything I've seen of the development so far (they're still working on it, obviously) seems top-notch, but this is a whole other level. Exciting!

eburress

^ True! Plus, if there's a building in Dallas that looks like Miami, it's One Uptown

eburress

That would be a bummer but the demolition will be an improvement over the post-apocalyptic scene which is there now. And maybe if its development comes in the form of a number of smaller projects, rather than the original mega project, the likelihood of it sitting empty for 10-15 years won't be as g...

eburress

As someone who used to live in Deep Ellum, I have to concur. The sentiment for the original Deep Ellum crowd is negative. While the development has brought tremendous revenue to the bars and businesses, t has also killed the atmosphere that Deep Ellum was once known for. It really isn't as fantasti...

What would Dallas county-appropriate soccer, volleyball, and basketball fields/courts look like?

Well it's (almost) unanimous! Woohoo!

Great photo Troy! I'm going to be sad to see this one top out. I want it to keep going ever skyward!

Yes, Henderson Avenue will be reconstructed in a total of five phases, with Phase 1 taking the most time. As it creeps down the street, private developers will make contributions to improvements on the portion of the street directly in front of their parcels. So basically , there's no time table. T...

Tamtagon, you're right and Tucy, you're wrong. Starting your post "way to create fake news Tamtagon" is derogatory. Even if it weren't though, you have to realize everyone on this board is going to assume your intent is negative when you treat them as poorly as you do.

eburress

^^ Have a look at the Harwood Forum thread. The rendering may be old since the one the thread refers to has been around for years, but it *appears* this is a 33 story tower.

eburress

Gorgeous photo! Imagine this same shot once Artelier starts rising...I can't wait!

eburress

I was going to post this too. What a wonderful transformation!

eburress

I took my daughter there last month and our experience was good. They didn't have a broad selection, but it was pretty late at night on a week day. If they can fix their quality issues (e.g., the above photo), they should do well.

eburress

^^ Think about how far we've come though that there's room to poo-poo a residential high rise of *any* sort built inside the Downtown loop.

I'm excited to see Mixt because I moved here from the East Coast and as a basic, stereotypical urban Millennial, I'm in severe Sweetgreen withdrawal. I have yet to have a bad meal in Dallas, but the upscale, very healthy, salad-with-unique-ingredients trend has yet to hit here (Crisp on Lower Green...

It's always fun seeing Downtown views from new perspectives. Thanks for sharing, Roman!

In San Diego, Sunroad Enterprises built higher than what was allowed by the FAA and naturally, the FAA forced them to remove the top few floors from their building so that it was no longer considered a hazard. Oops! haha It's not exactly what you're describing, but I'm guessing this sort of thing wo...

I also agree. I realize it's on the Deep Ellum side of that awful freeway, but this still feels more like part of Downtown to me.

eburress

Yawn. Oh look, another 22 story office building. In a prominent location no less. Oh wow, a towering 22 story building holy cow. Seems like that's all we can build anymore. 22 stories. That's it. Zzzzzzzzz. There are height limits throughout Uptown, so this is about what folks should expect in this...

eburress

They're sure letting the maintenance of the existing buildings go, which is sad to see. Such a shame and such a waste.

eburress

^^ Minor details, Amazon.

How many people would actually be walking around Deep Ellum in the middle of the afternoon on any weekend from late May to late September? It's definitely possible. Palm Springs gets hotter than Dallas in the summer, but that doesn't stop folks from shopping around, hanging out on patios, attending...

eburress

Speaking as a ~Millennial~ East Dallas resident who moved here from central Boston (where we enjoyed several lively, urban, walkable, dedicated shopping districts), it absolutely is annoying trying to "go shopping" in Dallas. There is no one place with a good diversity of interesting shop...

eburress

yeah, I echo the demand for info on the Henderson development. I live a block from Henderson and many of us in the neighborhood are VERY impatient for some walkable amenities. I also made a point of asking about the repaving of Henderson Avenue, which is conspicuously absent from the city's five-ye...

eburress

I wonder about that shopping center. That location is ideal for a significant development which would be the nexus of two of the city's more happening areas, Henderson and Lower Greenville, and could help to extend that momentum south down Ross Ave.

eburress

I usually see people in there but it's definitely not "hopping." Assuming they survive their reviews, this should improve some when it warms up and the patio and rooftop portions of the venue open up. Re. the building itself, I know what you mean but based on some of the recent renderings ...

eburress

Thanks for posting...that's a very good shot of the development! What an imposing presence that'll have once it's all done!

eburress

Yep, any of those would be a dramatic improvement over either of the proposed retreads.

eburress

Well, the loopnet listing was updated just 4 days ago. However, it's not the cylindrical design that was once kicked around. It's the other design which I think has been the preferred design by Hillwood for awhile now. Maybe something is moving forward?? Listing and marketing brochure links below. ...

Good lord I wish them luck but that space is such a total destination with no access other than walk ups from the Katy Trail. I hope they got an incredible lease based only on sales. I was wondering how easy this venue would be to access, and it sounds like you answered my question. What an awful s...

I don't know if the land sold yet, but the owners definitely did put it up for sale. The museum's not happening.
