Why are they marketing this as the tallest residential tower in the dallas area when AMLI will be taller? Is it because 9 floors of AMLI will be parking or what ? I'm confused

Warrior2015

will there be parking?

Source? and what projects have been completed since the date of your 2017 population estimate? The best estimate we have is from our own DCH, who put the estimate right at 10,000 in 2017; a little under 12,000 when all projects then under construction are completed: http://dfwu.dallasmetropolis.com...

I'd rather developers build above ground parking garages that are aesthetically pleasing and can be later converted into other uses such as residential. Yeah San Francisco does that well. They have nice parking garages that are covered up with art and or nice architecture and with lots of ground fl...

The numbers definitely look good for North Texas. From my own personal observations, it seems like the quantity of projects has declined, but, at the same time, quality has really increased. I guess it's hard to maintain the same level of quantity we had before when we were getting a lot of low-qua...

The parking is obviously Trammel Crow Towers main concern since it guaranteed as part of leasing so I have no doubt that it is the primary goal. As far as the other phases, they could easily dismiss them later if they wanted to despite the advantage the other two phases could have a positive impact...

hmm, not much has been announced on the gate and it's likely because the developer has been working on infrastructure for while now. Many have probably forgotten it existed...

This local CBS station 'news'report is ridiculous. I'd love to know who signed-off on this one. "Ooh lots of people on the street after dark--be very afraid." As many of you have stated, urban vibrancy is exactly what is needed. Stories like this are, I truly hope, the last vestige of 'ol...

The thing is no- people inherently in Dallas do not want real urban vibrancy or even any sort of chaos or population density, they want the bars and restaurants to feel exactly like the places they grew up in in the suburbs while having slightly more architectural character.

Irving seems cursed. Maybe they should stop trying so hard with these concepts and keep it more original. Maybe when the hotels open up next to MF it could help with more customers.

The biggest flaw I've noticed thus far with this development is there's not really any common area to hang out. That's been somewhat remedied with the Box Garden at Legacy Hall opening up, but that's all the way at one end. And the only vegetation in that "garden" is whatever you decide t...
