Hopefully in this new guy's mind, a "retail-centric development" is still heavily mixed use and not another Shafer Plaza.

The planned apartments are planned just west of the Farmers Market complex.

Couple of things: 1915 Cadiz is the address of the pottery store facing the Farmers Market. 297 units seem like a lot for that triangular piece of land, so I wonder if they also purchased the triangular lot to the north with the intent of combining them by closing Marilla.
I also think that site was once considered for a downtown park by Parks for Downtown Dallas.

297 units on a plot that small would mean at least mid-rise to high-rise, right? Google maps shows this plot as an the triangular piece of land where "Amigos Pottery" store is.

Is this where he promised twin 70 story towers lol
On Jan. 13, Lynd Development Partners, a division of the company, quietly closed on six parcels of land under the name FM Cadiz Owners LP. The assembled lots create a single rectangular area that is roughly one-third of a city block. The total area came to 1.34 acres.
The price was undisclosed, however, the combined appraisal values total about $2.35 million.
The property is immediately west of Harwood Street, which is the TIF boundary, so Lynd won’t benefit from the district’s tax credit financing.
According to city and other government records, Lynd is planning a 452,846-square-foot development that will include a five-story residential tower and an adjacent four-story parking garage.
Feb. 28 applications for building permits reveal that the residential building will have a footprint of just over 61,400 square feet and 297 units. The total estimated cost is $32.5 million.
Lynd retained the services of Merriman Anderson Architects, and the project name is Farmers Market Residential.

Really enjoying the revitalization of the Farmers Market, anyone know what this brings the total potential resident count to?

Disappointing that Dallas is finally developing a beautiful, human-scale residential neighborhood downtown and people want to ruin it with skyscrapers, creating an irregular, jumbled visual pattern, a poor street presence and an unwelcoming feel.

Tunnels!!!
Don't be surprised if a whole lotta existing tunnel retail space turns into storage for those big residential conversions.

I've been to Paris. It's a hellhole. The city used to be beautiful. But now it is turning into a giant ghetto with college kids constantly protesting and homeless people literally everywhere.

Manhattan.. it's a hellscape, apparently. Ruined, utterly ruined. If only it were half the density, then people might want to live or visit there. What's that, you say? The Upper East side (aka the tallest neighborhood in the county) is one of the wealthiest places in the country? They *choose* to live there?! And hordes of tourists come to the city to walk around the tall buildings and gawk at how exciting it all is? Well I'll be.
Personally, I love the irregular, jumbled visual pattern. It's what makes walking around cities interesting to me. It's totally ok that you love a particular height with a repetitious design aesthetic. But it's a personal preference, that's all.
Low/mid-rise works for European cities because their streets are so narrow that they can still achieve densities unmatched anywhere in the US outside NYC. Cap American cities at 5 stories and you get LA, not Paris.
