2702 McKinney Avenue: McKinney and Boll

2702 McKinney Avenue: McKinney and Boll
Last seen in September, this reworking of the HKS-designed McKinney and Boll building was worth it. There’s one big change that vastly helps this project. If you look above, you’ll see a car turning right into the building. In the first iteration, that driver would be ramming the building. Now, they’re entering the valet and parking garage area.

The reason is simple. In the original plan, all traffic was shuffled to the back alley (“1” above) and/or around the building due to McKinney’s traffic flow. The new plan (“2”) where cars pull through the building is a much better solution.

Good job.

This project (Jake's/The Den land) has posted a zoning change request sign. It is case number Z190-188.

Austin developer plans Uptown Dallas tower

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... las-tower/

An Austin developer is seeking approvals to build a mixed-use high-rise in Uptown Dallas.

Endeavor Real Estate Group is planning a 19-story mixed-use tower on a half-block site at Boll Street and McKinney Avenue.

The property is now occupied by several small buildings.

Endeavor’s proposed project would have 290 residential units, almost 60,000 square feet of office space and 15,000 square feet of retail.

Dallas-based architect HKS designed the new building. Endeavor is seeking zoning changes to allow the project, including greater height and density.

The planned McKinney Avenue tower is one of several high-rises in the work for that area of Uptown.

^^ Did they just re-run the same article from a few years ago?

R1070 · Post by **R1070** » 14 Dec 2020 13:08

I really want this and the One Sette site to be re-developed. That would dramatically change the feel of that whole area.

MC_ScattCat · Post by **MC_ScattCat** » 14 Dec 2020 14:53

One Sette was only to last 3 years. Not sure what or if Covid has done to that timeline. The developer basically was sitting on the property, and in the mean time is making money of the place while they wait.

Post by **cowboyeagle05** » 14 Dec 2020 15:23

While everyone around them is getting started...

Mind you last I heard the One Sette site is a family run development operation while the other towers we see are by big developers who know how to get projects moving.

I believe this is the original rendition. Will this continue to be what the tower will look like?

eburress · Post by **eburress** » 14 Dec 2020 17:41

I'm pretty sure that's a different project on a different lot. Either way, no, that's not what this tower will look like (unfortunately).

R1070 · Post by **R1070** » 14 Dec 2020 18:46

I think that’s a pic of the tower that was proposed where One Sette is.

Dallas Gypsy · Post by **Dallas Gypsy** » 15 Dec 2020 06:32

That pic is of the tower that was supposed to replace Idle Rich pub.

eburress · Post by **eburress** » 15 Dec 2020 09:06

Gotcha, that's what I thought. So the tower in the rendering would have been across Boll street from the tower this topic is referring to (2614 McKinney).

R1070 · Post by **R1070** » 15 Dec 2020 09:42

Yes, across Boll from the pictured tower.

To be clear, this proposal (which is indeed old, recycled "news"), is not at 2614 McKinney. It is on the other side of Boll, 2702 Mckinney.

Pretty much. August, 2019.

I guess the "news" is that they are "seeking approvals". Looks like a publicity puff piece to keep their project on the radar, dutifully pulled from the fax machine (figuratively speaking) and published.

The proposed development at 2700 McKinney went before the CPC last night, but was deferred to later date. It was mentioned that big changes are coming for this project.

eburress · Post by **eburress** » 18 Dec 2020 10:40

Interesting. I wonder how or in what way this is changing.

Post by **Tnexster** » 18 Dec 2020 10:44

Maybe it will be taller.

This was the dev plan yesterday: https://dallascityhall.com/government/m ... 20Plan.pdf
Landscape plan yesterday: https://dallascityhall.com/government/m ... 20Plan.pdf
Both aren't really new, though, just sharing the link anyway. Changes aren't shown.

This is for the 2702 site which appears may end up being called 2700 McKinney as soco mentioned.

I believe this passed the zoning commission last night.

It seems like the neighbors seem to think this will be built (and isn’t there another tower proposed directly across McKinney?) and kill most of their views. There are currently almost 20 units for sale between LaTour and Mercer Square (just north of this proposed tower).

R1070 · Post by **R1070** » 17 Apr 2021 17:02

The other tower is across Boll street. I hope that goes up as well. We need more density in these areas.

I haven't heard of a groundbreaking on the 2700 McKinney mixed-use tower across the street.

Endeavor's plans there were approved by the city in May.

No word that I know of. Across the street, the One Sette club has been closed and looks like stuff was being removed, but I haven’t heard anything on that one either.

I think this one will be sitting in someone's file cabinet for quite awhile. With several other projects already under construction, this one just doesn't have the momentum to get out of the ground.

Post by **CTroyMathis** » 13 May 2022 07:19

M&B back on the table perhaps, or, getting closer to the table again (seems to be the right site according to the tiny map w/crosshairs and of course the name/working title) :

Or maybe 2700. Either way, something.

We may have a bunch of projects to watch before too long.

The two towers are where Jake's Hamburgers are and across Boll where One Sette (Previously Idle Rich Pub) was.

I talked with the General Contractor for this development today. He said that they just got this opportunity passed to them and are signing on it or just signed on it, can't exactly remember. Good news.

I’m a little confused on the title and content above.

The 2600 block of McKinney Ave, comprised of the old Idle Rich space and the small office building hosting Vaquero Midstream, is owned by Stonelake Capital. The properties were purchased in 2021, and Stonelake just went to the CPC for a replat a few weeks ago.

https://dallascityhall.com/government/m ... 12-265.pdf

The articles above are for the 2700 block of McKinney Ave, home to Jakes, The Den, etc.The working name for this development has been ‘McKinney + Boll Tower’, and the property is owned by Endeavor.

There is a plenty of press around an ‘imminent start’ to ‘McKinney + Boll Tower’ on the 2700 block of McKinney Ave owned by Endeavor, but, as far as I am aware, Stonelake Capital has not publicly announced plans for the 2600 block of McKinney Ave.

Am I off here?

R1070 · Post by **R1070** » 23 Aug 2022 08:43

I'd love to see them both go up at the same time. Prob not going to happen though.

Redblock · Post by **Redblock** » 04 Feb 2023 03:07

This thread has commingled 2 proposals for years, both of which have had false starts. This has happened twice on this page, at the top during 2020 and just recently a few posts back.

Maybe I am being overly optimistic but I think it is time for the proposals north and south of Boll to have their own threads.

This 2614 McKinney thread title goes back to 2016 and this latest announcement matches up with this address. As far as I can determine there has never been a thread for 2700 McKinney so posters have put news about that proposal here since it is also located at McKinney and Boll.

Has it been announced that it's DOA or just delayed? There are a lot of towers going up in the immediate area that have already broken ground. Maybe they'll hold off on starting construction for a year or two.

Besides 23Springs and Harwood XIV, what office towers are under construction in the immediate area?

It looks a lot like the CBRE tower that would have been built on the Trulucks site. Bummer that's not happening!

You're right, it does. But it fits better among these neighbors than right next to the Crescent.
