Dallas Mockingbird Station
Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
Kroger isn't that out of place. There's still lots of strip mall/suburban stuff around there.

This is probably Kroger's #1 store in the D/FW market, so I'd expect they'll resist any changes to the store or it's location.
I would be interested to know high-volume Kroger stores in DFW. This one is busy, but I have also heard that the Cedar Springs location is a high-volume performer.
The last exec I talked to at Kroger said the Cedar Springs store was in their top 10 of the company but they could have also meant just Texas or DFW cause that was two years ago. It's such a small store but it stays busy all day long so its sales per square foot are high. Not to mention they just changed out the shelves back to the super tall to keep the store stocked more densely with product. It makes the isles ghastly and leering but they do run out of products constantly cause the store is so busy all the time. I started going to the Maple Ave store cause it is just as easy to get to.

I prefer Kroger for everyday grocery shopping. Luckily, I am surrounded by a Kroger triangulation (Mockingbird Station, CityPlace, and Cedar Springs). For exactly the reasons you mentioned (extremely busy at two of them), I have learned to cross the freeway and go to CityPlace typically.

I feel like Mockingbird Station needs some reconfiguring. It feels like a strip mall rn, and there are several empty storefronts. I really wish they hadn't put all that parking in the middle, and instead made it more like West Village.

The parking really hurts things, that's for sure.

Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
Have there been any updates to this project? I couldn't find any new news since the summer 2022 articles about the Trammel Crow proposales and request for city money. The parking lots around Mockingbird Station still seem like a mighty waste of space.

Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
The elevators from the parking garage up to The Angelika level have been out of order for months. A note written on CBRE stationary says they are "temporary out of order." This is a real pain to those of us who like to go to movies or The Londoner Pub. Why hasn't something been done about this? I thought CBRE was a first rate organization. When elevators go out in my apartment they are fixed within a day.

Dallas has some of the most slovenly cheap-ass property management around. This is shameful. Defer, delay......

Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
Property managers merely act upon the owner's agenda. No management company is "cheap-ass" unless that's what the owner wants.
Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
Excuse me, forgive me I implore you. What I meant to say was, Dallas has many slovenly, cheap-ass OWNERS. You can justify deferred maintenance all you want in the name of owner profits but this is hardly an enlightened, successful approach to creating or preserving the quality of any development project and especially one as iconic as Mockingbird Station has been.

Oh well why didn't you just say so then? ;-(
Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
Must have been that one of those historic and influential urban professionals wrote something about, like, owning a shopping center and having a part in its deferred quality control as the highest priority and second highest duty of a citizen
Re: Dallas Mockingbird Station
There's been some "rightsizing" on these parking garage elevators. Five months of operation per calendar year sound optimal? Durable, high capacity ramps are provided.
