They only have about one floor in that building (Chase Tower) anyway. It only got worse lately because they sent some of those people to the newest 12 story Chase building in Legacy West the was built during covid. This shouldn’t have much impact on vacancies. That building would be a nice trophy for GS. But they probably wouldn’t be interested in a 1980s dinosaur.


Call me crazy, but is it time for some of these trophy 80s office buildings to start thinking about conversions into apartments and hotel (a la The National).

Fr. I’ve been thinking that for a while now.

I agree...we need more families living in downtown. The more people that live in or near downtown, the more local businesses will thrive. We are on the right path though...

Not all 80's office towers are able to convert like that. Most of those that are conducive to such a major change have already been converted. The landmarks like Fountain Place, Chase Tower, BofA Tower, Renaissance Tower are unfortunately just unrealistic for conversation. Maybe a hotel add in like the Westin did oh and Cityplace Tower is doing but its going to be about focusing on new builds to add residential and make the office space valuable by close proximity to new amenities like Discovery District, Arts District, Parks, High Speed Rail, Transit, walkable safe shopping and eateries etc. New office builds in the CBD will also suck some tenants away but it will also make landmarks attractive again as the overall CBD market becomes attractive again which we are still a long ways from.

Good (and fair) analysis. Is the Cityplace Tower hotel actually happening? Haven't seen or heard anything about that for a while.

^Not sure last I saw at night it looked like all the floors were the hotel was going had string construction lights on all night so its either happening or they started and didn't keep going after they tore out the existing finishes and walls.

The last permit I saw had it going through remodel until March 2022 for hotel rooms. Also, some newer permits for some sort of fitness/pool floor and separately some conference stuff starting later this year until September 2022.

Downtown was absolutely packed last weekend. All of it. I was shocked. It definitely felt like a real city. From uptown to downtown to victory park to deep ellum.

That's so great to hear. I'm old enough to remember when downtown Dallas was a ghost town in the 90's and early 2000's.
Last time I was in downtown--which was about a year ago--it seemed much more vibrant. I saw families, people walking their dogs, a good mix of people and different backgrounds/races. It felt like it's becoming a real city.
I can't wait to see what our city is going to be like in 5-10 years!!

The wake-up call: How Boeing’s rejection of Dallas 20 years ago might have been the best thing for downtown

https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news ... 9#cxrecs_s

"They really did find the lack of vitality downtown a big issue. They wanted to go somewhere that had more vibrancy and a great urban seal," said Larry Good, retired founding principal and chairman of Dallas-based architecture firm GFF. In 2001, Good also served as chairman of Downtown Dallas Inc.

Today, downtown has grown into a vibrant live-work-play district that attracts new businesses, residents, and development. But how much credit, if any, does Dallas owe Boeing for that turnaround? Furthermore, what if Boeing had decided to move its headquarters to Dallas in 2001? How different would the urban core look today? On the 20th anniversary year of Boeing's rejection, the Dallas Business Journal revisits the decision to determine if Boeing's pass on downtown was actually a blessing in disguise.

Man, it's too bad Amazon didn't say "Sheesh, we'd love to move HQ2 here, but that Trinity River is looking pretty dumpy. There should really be a centerpiece park there."

Honestly the only way anything is gonna happen is if Amazon had signed a contract requiring the park in the Trinity if they moved to Dallas. Lord knows that's how Main Street Gardens happened it was proposed but the city didn't really have set funding for it. Then magically when they guaranteed the park as part of the Mercantile deal with Forest City Enterprises the park was built in short order. Mind you based on the cities track record with the Trinity projects forcing them to spend money on the Trinity seems like a bad idea.

Some stats from the vid. 13.5K residents. About 95% units occupied. We need more housing.

Downtown Dallas, Inc. tends to exaggerate. According to US Census figures, the total 2020 population inside the freeway loop was 10,598.

Actually yes, I trust that the DDI can give u a more exact number on Downtown Dallas than the US Census Agency. DDI's entire focus, is the CBD, they have established relationships with the Rental properties companies and the citizens/Businesses that call the CBD home. The US census uses surveys, and uses a one size fits all methodology for all localities across the nation. Not to mention, there were some political obstacles that had many questioning it's fairness and accuracy in 2020.

Kourtny Garrett’s work turned downtown Dallas into a real neighborhood. Now she heads to Denver
This young leader -- “smart on the details and long on the big story” -- has spent 20 years transforming the city’s core and making downtown fun for us all.

This is such a major loss for Dallas. I don't think anyone understands the impact she (and DDI) has made on Downtown.

I would imagine Dustin would take her place. Dustin and Evan have done a great job with attracting potential development in Downtown... something the City isn't doing.

Dallas’ Field Street is the new ‘center of gravity’ downtown

The latest from Steve Brown

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... -downtown/

Is Field Street the new main street in Dallas?

Billions of dollars in high-rise building projects are in the works along the thoroughfare connecting downtown with Uptown.

Scattered along seven blocks of Field Street between Ross Avenue and Harry Hines Boulevard are the sites for some of the biggest new developments on the way in North Texas.

A half dozen skyscraper projects planned along Field Street will connect downtown’s towers with the growing high-rise neighborhood just north of Woodall Rodgers Freeway.

Those city center numbers are terrible but I can't say I'm too surprised. Going on three years after covid started and downtown still has tons of empty parking lots. Hard to believe we went through that surge in parking garages before it began, each one seemed larger than the last one built. Now they sit empty.

A little case study, if you will, of office moves related to downtown Dallas. Haynes and Boone law firm.

- Previous to 1997, they were entirely in downtown Dallas; In 1997 they opened an office in Richardson.
- As of November 2006, they were in 216,000 square feet downtown.
- In 2008 they moved from downtown to Victory Park and downsized their space to 175,000 square feet.
- In 2020 they moved the Richardson office to Legacy West, leasing 30,000 square feet.
- Next year they will move from VIctory Park to Harwood No. 14 in Uptown, downsizing their central Dallas office by another 50,000 square feet (to 125,000 square feet).
- Also, they are opening another North Texas office (11,000 square feet in Pinnacle Pinnacle Tower on LBJ in Farmers Branch).



"The law firm plans to take up to 175,000 square feet for 15 years in the planned One Victory Park Building. The building, a joint venture between Victory Park developer Hillwood and Houston-based real estate firm Hines, is set to soon break ground, and be complete by 2008."

"Haynes and Boone plans to move about 400 employees to the new spot in July 2008. The firm is moving out of 216,000 square feet in the Bank of America tower at 901 Main St. in downtown Dallas."

The 80 story bldg proposed in Austin is apartments. It's my understanding that apartments in DT Dallas seem to be doing fine. The condos are slow to sell, because they've all been built for the ultra-wealthy. We need more reasonably priced condo offerings in the core of Dallas.

There is **no** way I'd live in an 80 story building, even if I had the $$$$.

Uptown/Turtle Creek: 14.5% direct; 27.5% w/sublets

Because we're now getting some significant office space in the Deep Ellum area, I'll start tracking that submarket (Deep Ellum/East Dallas)

3rd Q 2021: 1,227,548 sq ft occupied
4th Q 2021: 1,237,167
4th Q 2022: 1,228,282

Vacancy: Direct: 10.4% W/sublets: 40.2%

Interesting side note. Dallas CBD now has less occupied office space than Denver, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and Phoenix, in addition to the traditionally larger markets of Houston, Boston, Philadelphia, NYC, San Francisco, LA, and Washington DC ... but we're still bigger than Austin!

Did they highlight what those projects are? I tried to watch it but it seemed to lack substance so I was trying to fast forward through a lot of it.

They highlighted the major projects. I’m assuming they’re gonna be more in-depth during the State of Downtown Dallas later this year. It’s also good to know that hotel occupancy is higher than it was in 2019. The focus seems to be more on Downtown before the start of revitalization and the people who have contributed to it — Ex: Former Mayor Ron Kirk. There’s an interview at the end, with Robert Wilonskey and Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Dallas native Lawrence Wright about the past and future of Downtown Dallas.

Also — NewPark is a sponsor for the event. They also had a video presentation abt their new development…very similar to the recent video rendering released.

Tnexter, you were right. Totally lacking in substance. I heard them mention Newpark, the new convention center, the Farmers Market, Woods Capital's Field Street District, Goldman Sachs, and the bunch of planned or ongoing residential conversions. Nothing we didn't already know about, and includes some backward-looking items (Farmers Market) and some very speculative "planned" projects (Newpark and the Field Street District).

I assume the 3 billion convention center is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that 6 billion number.

I think Field Street is more likely than Newpark, but they didn't explain the "educational" aspect of this development in depth whatsoever. All of it was very vague.
