edit to clarify - I can't take credit for this. Someone asked for the link and I had it bookmarked because it's awesome.

This is awesome! Thanks to whoever compiled it!

Awesome x Awesome!

Amazing how much is going on.

Posted: **16 Nov 2016 22:28**

Glad this is still going. Here's an in-depth map of Fort Worth as well.

This map needs an update. It does not include the North Grove development, which is the largest planned development south of Dallas and Fort Worth, in Waxahachie. There is also the 35 expansion in Waxahachie which is turning 35 into a modern urban style corridor in Waxahachie and making it a 6 lane as far south as Hillsboro. Both projects are in the process of construction, btw.

The map is collaborative, feel free to add any projects you know of that are happening in your neck of the woods. Just try and keep it consistant to the style started since the last forum

Is Waxahachie even part of DFW?.. surely it doesn't belong in the Urban Development thread. Ex-Urban would be more appropriate in my eye.

Waxahachie is closer to Dallas than places like McKinney. While not dense, there is continuous development along I-35E all the way to Waxahachie. I personally know people there that commute into Dallas.

Posted: **30 Nov 2016 08:53**

Waxahachie IS considered part of DFW. Ellis county is part of DFW. In fact, one of the most vital economic industrial centers to the entire Metroplex is Midlothian, which is both the steel and concrete industrial capitol of Texas.

Too bad about the super conducting super collider....

10-story assisted living. Seems like they got carried away filing for 589 feet. http://lakewood.advocatemag.com/2016/10/27/senior-living-center-vista-breaks-ground-near-white-rock-lake/

I was thinking an assisted living community was coming in here but my quick google search failed me. Thanks for the update. My guess is that they may have mixed them up (589-486=103' height) I've seen it happen a couple of times before on there.

Does anyone know what's being built across the Icon on Ross , across from Little Woodrow's?

I saw a small building being constructed with huge parking lot facing Ross today. What is this?...I am so disappointed by this..... Not the direction I was hoping this piece of Ross was going.

Posted: **16 Jan 2017 06:15**

Not related to the development per say, but does anyone know how frequently google maps updates its 3d buildings imagery?

It is already about 1 1/2 years out of date.

Posted: **27 Feb 2017 19:39**

I clicked on this link on a post by Texasstar. It is a handy compilation of renderings of Dallas projects currently under construction. You can click on each rendering for a larger, expandable view.

Added THE Alexan to the map, now that construction is nearing an end.

Not just you.

Posted: **13 Nov 2017 14:03**

For example, the west village hotel project which is still very much under construction is not on there.

Posted: **22 Nov 2017 21:05**

I used to check this map almost daily before it got wiped out. Based on the timing of everything dissapearing I believe that THE Alexan accidentally deleted all of the other content when they plugged their apartment opening...

Posted: **23 Nov 2017 06:50**

Would really like to see it set up again. Perhaps the owner can back up copies from time to time.

Posted: **29 Nov 2017 10:42**

Is this not the map? I'm able to see it.

That's it but there is a lot missing.

Posted: **08 Dec 2017 08:20**

It appears that someone deleted multiple layers, removing most of the data we had compiled. I will regularly save backups of the map, but we would need together as a forum to recompile most of the sites.

Posted: **13 Dec 2017 14:49**

Wow, what a shame...

Posted: **10 Apr 2018 07:51**

For all you Google Maps Nerds, Google has update their aerial imagery, plenty of new construction sites and developments to take a look at.

On Google Maps? I still see the same imagery. None of the new Victory Park towers are built, for example.

Posted: **10 Apr 2018 09:48**

Weird how they have an updated map here https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll ... 0rIcc&z=17, but not here https://www.google.com/maps

Posted: **10 Apr 2018 14:21**

Google Earth through the browser usually has more updated imagery than the app as well.

Posted: **30 Jun 2018 19:24**

Downtown block 122, I think it's called, surrounded by Park, Saint Louis, Harwood, and I-30, has been marked as one of Mike Hoque's purchases, but according to DCAD maps and assessment hearings it still appears to be owned in pieces by Sam Harrington and at least one grocery business. Any info on whether we should remove that development marking, or whether it is, in fact, part of the Dallas Smart District project now?

This building is wrapping up. It has been interesting watching the building rise only from the viewpoint of a train window, which would be the back-side of the project.

Sounds like they used AMSL.

Hey, guys. I'm new to the forum. Do you know what is planned for this block next to the Ascent Victory Park apartments?

Posted: **12 Jun 2019 07:40**

This map needs an update!

That parcel is where Harwoods new tower garage is going isn't it?

Posted: **26 Jun 2020 18:28**

It kinda seems like there's more stuff announced or 'in planning stage' for greater downtown Dallas than any other time since the turn of the century. Even Collin county is more active than ever before. Is that about right?

Posted: **16 Jul 2020 06:30**

Really impressive stuff. I am hoping we see the type of density on Oak Lawn gradually move northwards towards the "midtown" and 635. Then I think we will have a pretty impressively massive self sustaining urban fabric.

Posted: **23 Jul 2020 13:05**

A few project statuses all in one link below:

A dozen high-rise projects on Dallas' Turtle Creek seem to have stalled

Posted: **28 Aug 2020 17:39**

Still like that Mandarin tower, hope it looks that good when it gets completed.

Posted: **30 Dec 2020 12:15**

Seems a reasonably decent place to plant this info:

It looks like the Harwood District has recently(?) taken claim to the Citymark on the Katy Trail building. The one that has the Balfour Beatty signage. Not really big news, but, I think this is a fairly recent addition. New to me for sure.

The views from that building have always been sweet!

Fun fact I recently learned:

Waxahachie is actually a part of Dallas' urban area. McKinney, however, is not.

Posted: **30 Dec 2020 15:49**

Yes, the Census Bureau ACS has always segregated the Denton-Lewisville defined urbanized area away from DFWA as well. And, that even includes part of Dallas County. . .
