This will fill in a prominent gap in the Cultural Districts smile. That hotel will be wildly successful I am sure.

Pretty cool smaller scale project in Fort Worth's medical district.
Going to just paste my personal notes here so forgive me if it's terrible formatting or "a lot," but hey, should prevent y'all from having to go to the DMN article/get past the paywall. Anyways, this is cool. Would love to see more little projects like this here and there in/near Dallas, and wherever.

DMN Article: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2021/06/08/fort-worth-project-will-use-familiar-metal-huts-for-new-homes-and-commercial

Highlights:
• Located at 1200 6th Ave near West Rosedale St, in Fort Worth's medical district by Detroit-based developer Prince Concepts
• Eight residential units, three offices, and two retail storefronts using prefabricated buildings known as Quonset huts
• Three Quonset huts will house the eight residential units with 20-foot ceilings and glass walls overlooking the park
• 5,500-square-foot office section and retail spaces will also have glass facade
• Vegan restaurant planned by the creators of Spiral Diner, as well as an ice cream and donut shop are planned for the development
• Development to be built around an 8,000-square-foot park

That's a real short timetable. Could infill like this "prove up" demand for mixed use updates in Las Colinas, CityLine, downtown Garland, Love Field area, East and South Dallas, etc?

Activity in ft worth starting soon.
Sorry if posted on another forum.
27 stories. Anybody have exact height?
Nonetheless will be a welcome addition.

I don’t know the answer to your question about the height, but this was supposed to start right after Nove at Knox (same developer). I’m sure covid and construction material issues put the brakes on. Glad to hear it wasn’t a long delay.

Interesting how they're planning on starting on this next year. Hoque seems to have his hands full, too full. I guess they're putting NewPark and SoGood (gag) on ice?

If NewPark and SoGood (gag) are on ice, it's not because Hoque's hands are too full.

Yeah Hoque like KDC and every other developer in town make proposals to see what sticks and if they get tenants to sign then they get the loans from the bank and the dirt starts turning. NewPark is just in a holding pattern until someone says I would like 100,000 sqft please. Plus SoGood is sort of moving that apartment project is starting in that development supposedly. This Fort Worth project is about the scale that Hoque Global can handle. New Park is very much out of his league.

Are there any exciting projects happening in dallas anymore? Not trying to compare to Houston, but Houston seems to keep adding cool mixed use projects all throughout the city even with covid-19.They broke ground on a massive project called east river, post HTX, the allen, Hanover regent square phase 2, autry park, TMC3 and more. They have like 20 or so high rises going up. I'm just curious.

I wont continue that line of pondering here since this is the Fort Worth thread but I honestly don't keep tabs on Houston so I personally couldn't provide the answer but the grass does always appear greener on the other side no matter who the other side is.

Dallas proper is at full build out (under current zoning), while Houston proper is not.

The extremely lopsided way the Metroplex has grown, putting the effective center in Irving-Carrollton-Addison (versus downtown Dallas), doesn't help matters either as North Texas developers will gravitate to where most of the people are already living and working.

Full build out how? There's so much available land 86 acres alone in downtown. The cedars has plenty of land as well.

Well sure, if the land is upzoned to accommodate high density development.

But when it comes to sprawly greenfield developments like East River, the land for something like that in Dallas proper is very limited.

Houston can still absorb open land without all the pitfalls that comes with land in already well developed areas. Dallas is stuck with the same land its had on the books for decades and that land comes with multiple owners, existing utilities, zoning, historical impacts etc. All the things that make some peoples head spin when they think they can just buy a piece of land and build what they want. Houston can still absorb areas like a undeveloped Frisco type area and give itself a kick of new population and opportunities for residential in suburban areas. Dallas cant it has to set things up so well developers still want to build even though the land already has easements, zoning, outdated infrastructure etc.

True, but I'm referring to urban core development not the suburban development type. For example all of the projects I've mentioned in H Town are all within 610 loop that are all high density mixed use. Dallas has them proposed but can't seem to get past the proposal part as of late but maybe there's some other reason.

Well Downtown Dallas is not the central core of the metroplex. Downtown Dallas is at the tail end of desirability for the metroplex. Throw in there that Dallas has a pretty big suburb of Fort Worth on one side with the big airport our demand for living/office/commercial land is laid out entirely different from Houston. As mentioned above areas like Las Colinas, Frisco the mid-cities are where the centrifugal force is that developers are spinning around. Sure Houston has suburbs too with desirable burbs but Houston still has more anchors keeping its central business district on the map compared with Dallas.

Houstonians have been optimistic in the past three or four years. More than I've experienced DFW being, and long before oil's recent price increases. There is a lot more mixed use greenfield real estate and also infill adaptive reuse real estate breaking ground -- in every density of surroundings and without much regard for the direction from any center of gravity. CoH doesn't micromanage land use let alone at the parcel by parcel level like Dallas and its suburbs all do. The kind of uncertainty Houston lenders have to face is "how much competition will there be when the barriers to entry are low here?" But less uncertainty about the rest of it. FW is trying to grow as fast as possible by annexation and master planned communities. Honestly FW's metropolitan division would develop faster if it became the one big city in North Texas that issued you your building permits without any zoning and floor area ratio haggling.

Is Houston really outpacing Dallas in terms of "urban" development, or is it just that in Houston this kind of development is way more concentrated in the central city and tends to be taller ? Houston development also gets more press perhaps, and HAIF has more active posters than this site does for sure.

Newer development in Houston that's outside the 610 loop(or areas slightly beyond it, such as Memorial City) is mostly just messy low-density sprawl in unincorporated areas. Hasn't been much that you would call exciting since oil prices dipped about 6-7 years ago. And since most people in Houston live in the suburbs, for practical reasons and not necessary by choice, what goes up in the city proper doesn't really have a lot of importance to them.

DFW being so decentralized has its pros and cons. People who live in any given part of the metroplex likely have more to do that's close to them and more diversity and choice when it comes to what kind of stuff their part of town has. In contrast, Houston is just a big uniform carpet of bleh.

I wouldn't be jealous.

I'm going to let this stay Fort Worth focused. On this particular limited subject, the statements above are uniformly off in (to me) random ways. Just for example, Memorial City is a 12 mile drive from downtown, same 12 miles as Klyde Warren to Belt Line in Richardson. You recall it being slightly outside their inner loop, but it isn't. The Metroplex and Houston remain more alike than different. We have a lot more football titles, but they have a lot more mixed use redevelopment. Yes, they really are outpacing DFW in that regard and have been for several years. HAIF isn't skewed by having more updates.

Agree with every bit of this. Even if Dallas (DFW) didn't micromanage at the parcel level, it's city building approvals are still taking months for basic stuff. And the suburbs with smoother processes shut down lots of mixed use development by micromanaging development.

This ought to be the beginning of a long long over due wave of highrise residential construction in Fort Worth. 20 years behind the curve.... But from the cultural district to downtown is on of my favorite areas in Texas, and what should become one of the best urban places to live in the South Central US.

This one's probably much more than "misc.", but....

Omni Fort Worth plans $217M expansion with second hotel tower, garage and restaurant

This would give the Omni 1008 rooms total (which would be bigger than the downtown Dallas Omni in amount of guest rooms). A 200-space parking garage would go in across the street. 50,000 square feet of meeting room area would be added, as well as a restaurant facing Lancaster Ave.

Came across this and I just wondered if anyone knew anything about Dart Interests. Do they have a proven track record that produces results? I get there’s no concrete plans at all was just curious. And does Fort Worth have the same issue as Dallas with the back log of permits?

The Tanger outlet center in north Fort Worth is getting 2 new stores (Under Armour, Simply Southern) and a Cracker Barrel restaurant. The stores will occupy spaces in the center's structure, while the restaurant will locate separately in the parking lot. The report didn't mention any timelines for completion/opening.

Here's how Fort Worth's new economic development strategic plan could effect real estate
Spencer Brewer, Dallas Business Journal
Mar 1, 2022

The plan proposes launching public-private partnerships to develop at least 1 million square feet of Class A office space in and around downtown Fort Worth by 2026.

https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news ... state.html

18 months later after that article they do seem to be executing:

From last week--


"Nick Thomas, a research manager at JLL, said that while the office market may be weak in other areas of the country, office-using employment in Fort Worth and Arlington hit a new high of 258,000 in July, an increase of 6.7% from the prior year and 30.1% since 2018. Office-using employment in Fort Worth and Arlington is 21.1% of total employment, increasing from 18.2% since the start of 2018."

...Todd Burnette, managing director for JLL Fort Worth, told the Fort Worth Report that The Crescent Fort Worth is defined as a Trophy/AA building, one of only two in Tarrant County.

FWR:

"The other is the Frost Tower Fort Worth, the city’s most recent high-rise building that opened in 2018.

Those high-end Class A buildings will be key in attracting new companies to Fort Worth, said Burnette. He noted the City Council just passed $30 million in incentives for two projects valued at $400 million on two high-profile sites, one on West Seventh and the other on University Drive. The projects, from Goldenrod Companies, include 195,000 square feet of new Class A office space.

The incentive package the City Council passed included incentives for Goldenrod to establish office leasing practices that favor tenants relocating from out of the region.

That may help the city’s economic development plans as it seeks to attract companies at or near the central business district, Burnette said.

'Right now, unless a company went up to Alliance, there just wasn’t a whole lot of space available to attract those companies,' he said. 'It’s a great tool to have in the economic development box to try to get companies to take a harder look at Fort Worth.'”

I guess 9-ish floors would be high in podunkville somewhere, but here, people need to watch how they figure what "high-rise" is.

Hillwood has acquired a downtown Fort Worth block, but they haven't yet decided what they want to do with it. The block is 6th/7th/Calhoun/Jones, on the SSE side.

Big-name developers shape high-rise plans for downtown Fort Worth
Execs from Hillwood, Dart Interests talk towering projects

https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news ... worth.html

With a crop of new towers in the offing, downtown Fort Worth is on the cusp of a new era.

Multiple companies have made moves to purchase land for future high-rise development, signaling bullishness in the fast-growing city anchoring the west side of the Metroplex. Those developers cite the city’s growing population and strong leadership as some of the reasons for these moves.

Among them, Dallas-based Hillwood recently purchased a block in the heart of downtown. Bounded by Sixth and Seventh streets to the north and south and Calhoun and Jones streets to the east and west, the property could be transformed for numerous uses and has high-rise zoning.

We know by now that developers (and local publications) use the term "high-rise" very, very loosely in Fort Worth. This will definitely be a wait-and-see.

That might be the only way to get someone in Dallas to build something taller
