Fantastic news. I'm sure the upcoming office space in the area will lease up very quickly as well.

It's funny that a few days ago, this article tried to put a negative spin on office leasing in Uptown. Even when I read it at the time, I know they were being pretty unfair towards Uptown, and this new article about M&O just further proves my point:

Ok, part of their restaurant info needs to be drilled-down a little more.

Food & Beverage establishments that are actually open:

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Doc B's Fresh Kitchen, Roti Modern Mediterranean, and Starbucks Reserve Bar. That's 4 restaurant slots on the ground floor taken leaving ~2 restaurant/retail slots left.

There is something called Fooda that comes in and serves from a menu that changes daily or fairly frequently, but, they don't occupy a ground floor slot and are a lunchtime "pop-up" at the 5th floor lobby. Also, the Ritz-Carlton Banquets staff goes over to cater as well on occasion on the 5th floor.


Food & Beverage establishments announced:

Malibu Poke. The sign has been on the window for about 4 months or so. Little to nothing has been done to the unfinished interior.


Last restaurant/retail slot unannounced as of yet (it's had a good amount of tire-kicking ever since opening) :

Could be split I suppose, but, referring to the two-story corner slot at Olive/Cedar Springs. They just installed a glass door or re-worked a door I don't remember being there (it's slightly unfinished and still has some plywood installed on both sides of it) along the curved glass facing the "gardens" opposite end from Del Frisco's. This interior is also unfinished and there is no separation inside delineating where Malibu Poke and this space may start/end. And, with that, no telling if it could even be split three ways since the whole half of the ground floor on this side is unfinished after all. The two-story corner does have an internal elevator set well back into the space.

This may sound odd, but I'd love to see a Royal Blue or a 7 Eleven go into that last big slot. It doesn't have to be all restaurants.

Even a BCG employee can appreciate a convenience store that is open at 2 in the morning. Not sure if asset managers would ever like to see a 7-11 next to a Starbucks reserve on their leasing roster.

Hugo's Invitados has singed a lease for 11,000 sq ft for a Mexican restaurant. This means the retail portion of M&O is 100% leased. I can speak a little bit about Hugo's. I've met Hugo a number of times and have spoken with him quite a great deal. He opened the first Hugo's in Las Colinas a little less than a year ago (Water Street). Since opening it has received rave reviews for the food, décor and service. This place is TOP NOTCH. Everything is 100% organic and made in-house. This place will do amazing in this location! Hugo was originally with Firebrand Restaurants and was the leading force behind opening all the Meso Maya locations.

Mexican Sugar is great. Isn’t this the same team behind Ida Claire? I wish they’d open one of those in this area.

Ida Claire, Sixty vines, Whiskey Cake, Mexican Sugar, Hay Wire and Son of a Butcher, I believe. All good concepts

Oh yeah, forgot about Whiskey Cake as well. That needs to make it's way closer to Downtown too.

That's a good location for Mexican Sugar! I know originally Hugo's was planned for that space pre-covid, but they pulled out and eventually opted to take the Mi Cocina spot in West Village. I thought Mexican Sugar might have taken over the old Perry's Steakhouse space.

Most good places start in Dallas and then open a location in Plano. These are the only guys who can start a place in Plano that is good enough to bring to Dallas.
