On the heels of a new downtown Dallas hotel, and an upcoming one in the Galleria-Dallas Midtown area, a new AC Hotel by Marriott will start construction in the middle of next year at Fifth/Main on the site of a current surface parking lot. It will have 246 rooms, be 16 stories tall, and take 2 years to build.

Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
This is exciting. Does anyone know what is Fort Worth's downtown population?
I've always felt Fort Worth had a more Charming downtown than Dallas. Great to see them get some urban developments.
At this rate, who knows maybe one day these two sister cities will become the SF and Oakland of Texas. Lol

It's been a while, but the last estimates I saw were around 1500 residents.
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
Fort Worth does have a charming downtown; it's a great change of scenery for North Texas residents, but I have a sense that the majority of North Texans don't know about it. I would love love love Downtown Fort Worth to grow into a destination appeal like Ashville, NC -- creative, friendly, stuffed to the gills with variety, and almost walking distance to one of the best collection of Museums in the South Central US and almost walking distance to the totally underdeveloped western frontier theme park, The Fort Worth Stockyards. There's so much potential in Downtown Fort Worth, enough to make the Dallas Booster Club green with envy. If only the city would coalesce around the idea of becoming a real tourism destination.

Downtown Fort Worth has a fairly broad definition, but the 2016 State of Downtown listed the number at 7,616, and currently the downtown housing stock is on pace to double with current construction and proposals.

One reason Fort Worth's lagging Dallas: Billions invested with public transit
https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm ... ic-transit
https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm ... ic-transit
“Fort Worth has fallen behind its competition,” the report said. “The threats facing the city may not always be apparent, but they are very real.”
Here’s an example. Since 2010, the North Texas region has added almost 140,000 jobs in professional business services and 48,000 in financial activities. Roughly 90 percent of the jobs in those high-paying categories were on the Dallas-Plano-Irving side of the metro, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In 2010, Fort Worth was offered a $25 million federal grant toward a street car starter line. Ultimately, it could have connected popular Sundance Square with the emerging hospital district and developments on the other side of downtown.
That’s exactly the kind of urban connectivity that Amazon and many millennials are looking for. But Fort Worth’s City Council rejected the grant.
There’s no mention of that lost opportunity in the report. By the way, that money went toward a streetcar line in Dallas.
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
As Dallas urban core gets more and more expensive, I can see Fort Worth eventually becoming more attractive. Problem is, is that there is still a lot of room for Dallas to grow and plenty of under-developed land.
I'd really love to see Fort Worth thrive and see the city grow, but, at the moment, Dallas has some insane momentum and I don't see that slowing anytime soon. One thing that, I believe, could help would be some sort of non-stop express TRE train that goes straight from Downtown Fort Worth to Downtown Dallas. I have no idea how much would be involved in that, but I think something like that could create some good synergy between the two cities.

Isn't it a bit of a stretch to credit DART for the Dallas side's greater job growth?

Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
Considering the rest of the articles on DART transit say that's its ineffective in its current implementation and basically just a checkbox and not much of a real ridership generator. It's funny how one article says Dallas is a genius because of DART while others point to its historically long low ridership and ill-functioning DART board that seems more focused on light rail extensions than fixing its existing problems with bus and existing DART trains.

Construction is underway for a new Fort Worth campus of Tarleton State University. The article doesn't say the main campus will leave Stephenville, but this complex looks like it will be a more prominent one. The campus will be on 80 acres off of Chisholm Trail Parkway and Old Granbury Road. The S-T linkie has a drone video of the initial construction work, plus mockup drawings of how the campus will eventually look.

The Worth, a condo tower planned for the NW corner of downtown, was originally planned as a 24-story building. The city has since approved the project for 30 stories. Construction is planned to commence late this year or early next year.

I grew up in Stephenville and watched that campus grow by leaps and bounds. I moved away in 2004 and it’s pretty much completely unrecognizable from when I moved. They have bought up a ton of the town and the campus is quite a bit bigger than 80 acres so I really doubt that Fort Worth campus will ever become become the more prominent one
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
Appreciate the clarification. I haven't yet had the pleasure of Stephenville, so I wasn't completely aware of Tarleton's footprint there. I guess I meant more prominent in an urban vs. rural sense....there are potentially more eyeballs that will have a chance to see the Fort Worth campus than the Stephenville one.
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
While I’m not a big fan of the town at all, the campus is pretty nice and worth checking out if you’re ever in that area. Had this new campus been open when I was in school, I probably would have gone a few semesters there at least.
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
Texas Health has announced an expansion to its Harris Methodist hospital. A 9-story building will be constructed, adding 144 beds and 15 new surgical suite areas. The project will start later this year and take 3 years to complete. The article also adds that the Fort Worth hospital is the state's fourth-busiest and north Texas' fifth-largest.

Concern arising in north Fort Worth as a proposed Ikea store at I-35W/N. Tarrant Pkwy. north of the US 287 split has not yet broken ground. Apparently there are access and driveway issues, as well as a request by Ikea for city tax incentives.

Ikea has decided against proceeding with the north Fort Worth location.
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/ret ... -cancelled
Also worth noting in the article....
The Swedish home furnishings retailer has decided it wants to build fewer of the 250,000-square-foot stores it's been building. Last month, Ikea canceled plans for a second store in North Carolina.
Ikea CEO Jesper Brodin has said that the company wants to expand to more urban, city centers to be more accessible to more consumers. Brodin is an Ikea veteran who was promoted to CEO last year.
In an interview with Bloomberg in April, Brodin said he's positioning the global Ikea to be a company ready to serve a hyper-urban population. He sees the world moving more and more to where people "live in small spaces," have "thin wallets" and "little time."
Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
Fort Worth was almost there, just inches away from scoring an IKEA, now IKEA has pulled the plug and is moving in another direction. My question is, what does this do for the odds that Dallas could see one of these new urban IKEA concepts appearing in city center? If and when Dallas sees a third store make an appearance it strikes me that Dallas is much more likely to score one of those although they may more likely focus on more urbanized cities in other places first.

Re: Fort Worth: misc. developments
It makes sense their product is designed around the more compact living from Europe its just in America they realized they could make billions selling suburbanites cardboard furniture. The key will be what products will they carry and not carry in an urban store concept since the sqft will be smaller. I imagine they could easily function as a pickup location and push more app/online sales for pickup at an urban store. Will it be stacked? Or will they just try to shoehorn Ikea into an empty big box storefront.

The forming park across the street from this proposed hotel will be a nice bonus for overnight guests.
Too bad there's not any sort of fixed-in-place public transportation between the downtown train stations and the Cultural District. A bettin' man would have thought the new Dickies Arena would have prompted action to get at least a streetcar circular going, but not so much.

What they fail to mention is that where the economic growth in those areas north of Dallas are occurring, there's literally no public transit at all. And what little public transit they might have in Plano, it is so limited.

A company run by the president/CEO of the Dallas Stars is acquiring the W.T. Waggoner building downtown from XTO Energy. Word is that the building may be turned into a hotel. This would be a good possibility since the acquiring company is the parent of 2 hotel chains, including Canadian chain Sandman, which is soon to open a new hotel in Plano in the Granite Park-Legacy area.

Katy Station Lofts
Mixed-use, mixed-income transit-oriented development located at the TRE's T&P Station
The project is being developed by the Fort Worth Housing Solutions in close cooperation with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, Near Southside Inc. and the City of Fort Worth.
The East building of the complex will have a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom units, ground floor retail and a 650 space parking structure. The West building will also incorporate ground level retail beneath a 200 room hotel. A plaza between the two buildings leads to the station entrance.

More apartments are being built near downtown. But you don’t have to be rich for these
Actual near-downtown low-income apartments on the way. These are on E. Lancaster, between the mixmaster and the US 287 overpass. There will be 104 units, with some actual first-floor retail, and on-site medical care. The groundbreaking for the complex was this week. Completion is set for the end of next year. Union Gospel Mission, located next door, owns the land. Hopefully this will be a bright spot in an otherwise sad and downtrodden neighborhood.

A second Mutts Canine Cantina is opening this week in Fort Worth, between the Shops at Clearfork and the Trinity Trails area. They have an acre of space, a covered patio for dining/drinkies if you don't have a dog, or 2 different fenced areas (a small one for dogs up to 30 pound size, a much bigger one for all sizes of dogs) and a window for getting refills/extras. The employees will go back behind your dog if he/she has, umm, made its mark on the place.

This will be an Avid hotel, a newer IHG lifestyle brand, on Samuels just north of Belknap. It will be on the northeast side of downtown, just north of an existing TownePlace Suites-Marriott. The hotel will start work in May and completion is set for sometime next year. It will have an indoor pool, patio, and an all day/all night coffee bar, with 106 rooms/4 floors. The Avid will likely be the first one in Texas, as the only one open so far since IHG launched the brand, is in Oklahoma City.

The city of Fort Worth has changed plans on their City Hall move. Instead of remodeling or building new, the city has agreed to acquire the Pier 1 building on the west side of downtown. Officials say it will be quicker to move there than build new, and the building is large enough to consolidate many separate city office facilities. The city anticipates moving sometime in 2022.

Code: Select all
Item Number: BA2020-42 Meeting Date: March 31, 2020
Item Title: Trinity Metro Headquarters Design/Build
Contract
BACKGROUND
Trinity Metro Headquarters is currently located in a leased space at Burnett Plaza and the lease expires
in December 2021. In anticipation of the need to centralize operations when the Burnett Plaza lease
expires, the Board approved the purchase of a building located at 801 Grove Street in March 2017 which
will house Trinity Metro’s new headquarters.
Trinity Metro plans to make the Grove Street and Alarm Supply Buildings its new headquarters in 2021,
utilizing 40,000 of its 70,000 square feet of floor space, and lease the remainder. A new board meeting
room accessible to the public will also be located in the Grove Street Building.
Trinity Metro issued a solicitation to procure the services of a contractor for a design/build project for the
future Trinity Metro headquarters, located at 801 Grove Street.

Recalls the county community college’s purchase and reuse of the RadioShack Riverfront Campus downtown. That one has a front row seat on the Panther Island projects.

Unfortunate that the island will never feel like a human scale neighborhood, no matter how pedestrian-friendly its program is, if every block is massively long just so that buildings can donut around properly optimized precast parking decks (as the linked plan view shows, unless I misunderstand it)
... That’s not primarily because of the looooong sidewalks and busy garage curb cuts crossing them. Rather it’s because of the budget-engineered sheer visual impact of that size a city block being either samey monotony or uncanny-valley lively architecture:

It takes a bunch of different builder personalities to make each city block have its own personality. This is not set up for that local organic decision/feedback process of risk management, which gives a neighborhood maturity. More likely the first apartment complex ever planned on each site will double as the final draft of that corner of the neighborhood, with cash flow reinvested only in maintaining the initial construction, never in change and evolution.
