I assumed this one was another residential tower. Glad to hear they were extremely successful with this project, and it sounds like they were also charging top dollar for it as well.Weir’s Plaza’s offices rented at some of the highest prices ever in the Dallas area – more than $50 per square foot, according to real estate brokers.

This is gonna be great, especially since it’s right across from RH. Bodega-like offering needed 100%, and glad this is what’s filling that void.interestedobserver wrote:Foxtrot opening in old Yeti space at 3130 Knox.
Exciting. I hope it does well. The neighborhood needs a bodega-like offering.

Comment on walkability. Overheard as I was walking down Knox St at Travis on Saturday, a father talking to his daughter who lived in apartments behind pottery barn- “So I guess you just walk to Trader Joes for your groceries?” “No I drive, everyone drives everywhere here.”potatocoins wrote:I'm still in awe as to how quickly this area has transformed. I'm glad to see potentially some condos coming to the area, hopefully they are priced under $1 million!
Even if this does end up being in the same price range as Museum Tower and Blue Ciel, I could see this one faring better. At least, this is the one I'd be buying if I had that kind of money, but I'm not sure how much people (in this price range) care about walkability and such.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, plus maybe Miami & New Orleans.Cbdallas wrote:Is there any large sunbelt metro area where people walk everywhere and use transit for daily routine trips?
Cbdallas wrote:I'll give you San Francisco only out of their density and expense but in the others I see cars everywhere just like here and tons of parking and the AC cranked. I think it stems more from a density land lock issue. People will use cars if it is easy cheap and fast until density changes that equation. Having said that I think Dallas has come along way since the 1980's with both density and transit we just have a lot longer to go. Knox Street used to feel like a small town 30 years ago with a single blinking yellow light at night and I love what it is turning into today and beyond. Fingers crossed someday the Knox Henderson DART station is a reality. Anyway this has turned into a transit discussion more than Knox Street area so I will just leave it there.

Good point with the bolded.IcedCowboyCoffee wrote:Dallas has become significantly more dense in the past 40 years but with the massive caveat that a lot of the density built in that time is still abysmal. Tons of inward-facing apartment buildings sprinkled across the city either wrapped by a gate or significantly off-set from the street, designed for getting residents quickly to the parking area rather than the sidewalk. They will have to be demolished and restarted if they ever want to be a cohesive element of a walkable area. I understand building for the reality we're in, but still I can't help feeling frustrated seeing those sorts of buildings pop up knowing they'll become a problem we'll have to deal with later on.
But anyways, chilled in the Knox area a couple weekends ago and while it's great how much it's grown,this doesn't surprise meSrayldtx wrote:Comment on walkability.

Yes, not sure why those are still incorporated! Makes no sense. They just replaced the sidewalk in front of the elementary school in Uptown on McKinney Ave and it's the same narrow sidewalk. I just don't get it.eburress wrote:The first thing I would do is get rid of those useless grass strips between sidewalks and roads. This alone would double the width of most sidewalks in Dallas, dramatically improving walkability.
Funny you should say that; I noticed one of them is now for lease. Good!R1070 wrote:Those mattress shops are so lame.
I would hope so. How can a mattress store afford the rent in this area much longer? I know they have the worst locations with terrible parking at NCX and Knox St, but someone will pay for the location especially now that Anthropologie is closer to opening at McKinney/Knox. They have been working on the space for a little while now. The papered windows now say SPRING 2022 I think.emmasensei wrote:Funny you should say that; I noticed one of them is now for lease.

I liked the downtown location so much better.scott2 wrote:No.....a long time ago there was a Chuy's in the West End where the Holocaust Museum used to be.
This was the worst run business I've ever interacted with. Completely incompetent and it's stunning they're still in business at all.R1070 wrote:Looks like Ligne Roset has closed.
I had spent close to $90k over a 2 month period at their store in the design district 20+ years ago to furnish my modern 3 level town house in between uptown and Knox Henderson. That was a great space they had in the design district and well run. I still have the same furniture furnishing my 3 level condo in San Francisco, albeit 1400sf in SF vs 2800sf in Dallas and for almost 5 times the price and with no parking in the building. And they still look amazing without any noticeable wear. Classic designs that still look fresh and many still being sold. Recently I had gone to Ligne Roset in San Francisco to help a friend buy stuff for his condo and the owner of the San Francisco store mentioned she used to work at the Knox Henderson store years ago. She mentioned the original owner had sold the Knox Henderson store and the new owners were horrible and impetus for her to leave.eburress wrote:This was the worst run business I've ever interacted with.

Not to mention Trader Joe's as well, who's just around the corner.jdotpdot wrote:vandelay has a knack for building a very good bar....food is typically ok albeit over priced and almost everything some kind of knockoff from Hillstone, but excited nonetheless for more options.
Berkley's roll out has been entirely too slow, Foxtrot has beat them to market, it will be interesting to see how they both survive 3 doors down from each other.
This is not what i remember was there before, but according to an ad In Texas Monthly from 1979, this location was the flagship Half Price Books! Noticed the other day that On a Whim has been locked out (4433 McKinney Ave). That didn’t last long.LongonBigD wrote:They haven't been in that spot too terribly long, but for the life of me, I can't remember what that was before.
Other news pieces like The Real Deal’s had reported 18 floors of residential atop a small hotel. DMN linked above said the hotel would be 18 floors. Neither would account for the FAA-approved permanent height of 435 feet, which will provide quite a landmark on NCX.jegchachi wrote:City approval for the new development. Looking forward to it!!!!
