East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
The rooftop deck looks cool. I wonder if they'll add any landscaping to the front of the building.

August 18th vs November 2nd. I've always been a fan of this little building. It looks nice with the new glass.

Construction starts on downtown Dallas tower

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... las-tower/
“Our 25,000 square feet of retail and 200,000 square feet of office will be completed in first quarter 2021 – just under 18 months,” said developer Shawn Todd. “The 336 apartments will be totally completed by second quarter 2022.”

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
That's a very ambitious timeline for the office portion, which hopefully means there's a lead tenant attached. The residential portion always looked like a separate building to me, so it's no wonder that we see it on a different schedule.OrangeMike wrote:Construction starts on downtown Dallas tower

Maybe we're looking at another 2000 Ross Ave "later phase" for the apartments.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Hell ya, this is such a great development in such a great spot. I think this is one of my favorite buildings of the last few years. Glad to see that the NIMBYism of the townhomes in the area weren't able to drag this down. This building is the same sort (although at a slightly larger scale!) of development that makes Washington DC so great and accessible. Imagine if downtown had ~10 of these scattered around the south end.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
I'm very close to this....there are only a few NIMBY's (like just one or two people that are making themselves look like fools saying this tower is going to destroy the Farmers Market District).
The developer is also doing setbacks that are not even required by the development code.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
This is great! Would like to see a couple more pop up in this area.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Great development here.. excited about this one and the whole EQ project
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Very excited about this one. It seems like East Quarter has been moving full steam ahead, but is going largely unnoticed by the general public. Perhaps a big development like this will really tie it all together and draw some attention to the area.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Yeah I think a lot of it has been prep work on most of the buildings. Once there are actual tenants in a lot of these, I think it will help too.DPatel304 wrote:Very excited about this one.

I wonder how the timing of this new building lines up with plans for Harwood Park?
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
The other question is, if they have a lead tenant signed for this space I wonder who it is and if it is tech related? Would be great fun if this entire area turned into a more significant tech hotbed.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
No lead tenant. 100% spec.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Thanks for the pics, Maconahey. Is that where the large mixed-use building is slated to go?

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
That's a nice view!
On a somewhat related note, with the rest of the EQ getting spruced up, I wonder if we'll ever see Salazar Center remove the ugly glass skin which was added back in the '80s. It wasn't ever the prettiest building, but what we have now is hard to look at.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
It's so weird seeing that building looking so light and airy with all that glass. We have been staring at the solid white blank wall for so many years opening it up that much is a significant change just from the street level alone.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Wow, I had no idea that building had been glassed over. It's definitely got the retro blue-blockers kind of vibe to it right now haha.eburress wrote:That's a nice view!

To be fair, I like the glass skin of the Salazar building. It is very Dallas and very Texas, in a strange way.

That LED light band on it is too bright. Screws up the twilight and night shots of downtown from this angle.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
I assume this is the site of the upcoming mid-rise in the East Quarter area.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
^It is the new tower but it's more than a mid-rise.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Wow! Two there, maybe two at Epic, lots of action on this side of downtown. I didn't even know the Epic 2 cam was live already.
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Any updates on when the restaurants might start opening up here? I know there was a restaurant and coffee shop called National Anthem and PMA All Day, but I have not seen any updates for either of these places.

Located around Cesar Chavez Boulevard and Commerce Street on the east side of downtown, the project is expected to consist of the redevelopment of more than a dozen nearly century old buildings, as well as up to four ground-up developments.

Is this tower different than the 17 story building that the farmers market ppl were crying about?

I was trying to figure that out. At one point I was keeping a rough list of interesting projects to watch in this area, but there have been so many announcements in the last few months that I abandoned it. Can't keep anything straight!

Lol . the old dallas news press release definitely said 17,Tnexster wrote:So....here we go again, is it 17 or 20?
But this biz journal says 20 for sure. But its the same building.
They might have just added 3 stories to round up the number.
the picture is a weird angle, but they are the same building.

Counting the floors from the central connecting point to the building's highest portion, it does appear there are three more in the second rendering.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
When I count the floors on both renderings I count 19. I probably miss counted the two-story glass space between the office portion and the residential tower thrown on top.
Honestly, I would be fine with the project if it didn't have the residential tower on top. Its the oddest part of the whole architecture and gives it that everything including the kitchen sink design scheme. Like it was a total afterthought and is the crazy cake topper thrown on top of a store-bought cake sheet cake. It makes me wish they had just gone ahead with a taller slender tower on top rather than the plan here where they spread the residential across the entire complex to keep it from being "too tall".
Overall though I think the residential and office plus retail will help connect the dots with the Farmers Market and Main Street. Help not fix or solve.

They even added the new Uber Deep Ellum office tower in the new rendering, nice little touch.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Thinking small: New downtown Dallas hotel will have “micro” rooms
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... icro-rooms
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... icro-rooms
On our last trip to London we stayed at a Z Hotel, which is a similar concept. These are perfect for people who need to stay one night to catch an early flight the next day or expect to spend very little time in their rooms. The amenities usually make up for the cramped space (free wine in our case).The three-story building at 2105 Commerce Street is adjacent to the big East Quarter development that’s redoing dozens of properties on the eastern edge of downtown.
Sova Hospitality has filed plans to convert the almost 90-year-old building into a 39-room “micro hotel.”
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
Awesome, I love it! It's nice to have a variety of options in the city, and I'm definitely the type of person who likes to spend very little time in their room, so something like this would appeal to me (if I wasn't already living here).
What I've been really wanting to see for a while now is actual micro-apartments. I doubt Dallas, as a city, is quite there yet to support such a thing, but I'm glad we're at least getting hotel rooms that appeal to people who don't mind smaller spaces.

Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
I was in DC a couple of years ago and stayed at Hotel Hive, billed as the city's first Micro Hotel. It was great. The room was small and very nice. Plus it had a pizza restaurant/bar that was extremely popular with the locals. It packed the rooftop bar every night I was there. I also noticed the hotel employees did EVERYTHING... front desk, watering plants, housekeeping; I even saw an hotel employee with a hedger trimming the landscaping outside.lakewoodhobo wrote:

I tried to book there again this spring, but it was full. I don't see why this wouldn't be successful in Dallas
Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment
I've been to that restaurant/bar! My brother went to GWU and when I went for his graduation they took us there..so I guess the locals do like it.

Sure looks like a pedestrian walkway between the new building and that triangular building where Nick Badovinus is putting in his new restaurant.
