Except for that ginormous parking deck that looks pretty nice.

Jimmy John's not far away either

Austin55

Damn, this is really going to be pretty.

Austin55

TEXRail's EMF would probably be easier

I watched the most recent presentation which mentions using the TRE maintance facility for CB. How would the CB trains get there?

Austin55

Nice! It's a shame that lot has been so underutilized for as long as it has.

And perhaps direct aerial service to DFW

Russell Laughlin @HillwoodDevelop at #NTTS2018 says test flights of #UberElevate will begin in #DFW in 2020. DFW Airport to Frisco Station.

The masterplan calls for several more wrap apartments and 7-9 floor office and hotel buildings.

Lighting looks fantastic. I was most excited for the outlining, but the floodlights are what really pull it together. Excellent stuff. Here's some dets on the plaza.

There is a lot of blue in the skyline lately. Hunt, Thanksgiving, Lincoln Plaza, whatever the Omni is doing, and now ATT. Also all those blue lights on top of the streetlights around the new bridges. It's especially noticeable from the air.

Austin55

Atlanta definitely seems to be the front runner right now based on the rumors. I think that is great news for Dallas though, as Dallas could put up tough competition to Atlanta. Nothing is decided yet.

[quote="Tivo_Kenevil"]This is lame. The hall of fame should be in Columbus. There's no history for the sport in Frisco. This should go somewhere where the community has a passion for the game. Of all the places in the USA, where this could've gone ....IT'S NOT FRISCO,TX. /quote] Sort of de...

Should get going April 2018, complete May 2020.

I take it the chair and lights initiative success hasn't lived on?

It's been a while, but the last estimates I saw were around 1500 residents. 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. A bunch mo...

Here's a good breakdown of all 4 proposed/u/c highrises in downtown.

That's it but there is a lot missing.

Arlington is ditching the MAX bus, replacing it with on-demand shuttles. An experiment, essentially.

I thought I was losing it when I saw the display the other night. Looks like a reflection at first, and then I saw it moving. I was too far away (Victory Park) to make out anything it was saying though. Certainly an eye-catcher!

Austin55

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

Austin55

Just me or is a bunch of stuff gone?

Goodness, that is an exciting one! Very eyecatching too, gotta think that could really put Dallas as a top contender. The idea of Pelli doing an entire area is awesome as well.

Did anyone talk about 400 S Hall yet? Looks like a 5 story garage wrapped apartment is being planned there. 336 units. HLR Architects.

Austin55

I see that construction permits have been filed, with an expected start of October (take that with a grain of salt though as it doesnt always come true)

Austin55

Are the existing apartments at 4805 Mckinney on google maps still there? Seems a 5 story, GFF designed project is proposed for that site by Trinsic Residential. Called "The Hudson Apartments".

They've been showing up around downtown Fort Worth now.

Garland looks like it's got very little in the way of empty land, nearly the entire place is single family. Dallas has huge swaths of industrial parks, and airport, the Trinity Floodplain and Forest etc etc. RE - Seattle, it is fantastic. And very well planned. The setting is nearly impossible to be...

Austin55

Is this of relevance to this thread?

It looks like this site, but I'm not super familiar with Dallas developments. Trying to catch myself up!

Austin55

I haven't seen much press on it, but it seems Air India wants to launch a Delhi-Dallas route sometime this year.

Those apartments do have decent density I'm sure, what has really always bothered me is the way they address Houston St, a fence with a parking lot behind. Bleck.

Insane to see how dense the area has gotten. Nothing but exciting. And that rooftop view down Lamar is a stunner.

Good catch to save that. Always rehost everything!

I really love the way it looks. I said over on SSP, Almost like Fountain Place's never built twin is finally coming along.

Austin55

Foster is probably my favorite architect ever, this is immensely exciting that this could happen. It does'nt seem like one of his stronger skyscraper designs, but I love it from those 2 renders.

Austin55

That does seem like a nice compliment to FP. The crown is interesting, lots of steel and glass, could be beautiful if well lit.

That PDF on the design is fantastic. Very well thought out. Really like the way this looks.

The comments about Fort Worth are amusing... I can attest that OKC and Ft. Worth in particular seem to think it is unique for having downtown revitalization, and many people in Ft. Worth (who clearly don’t make it past Tarrant County often) think it differentiates them from Dallas, which now has 15...

The fireworks from reunion produced some stunning photos. They did a wonderful job with them.

The parking lots are atrocious, but if there's 500 foot buildings replacing them, it'll be worth the wait.

Austin55

Beautiful maps and interesting information.

I'll bet he think's he's a real great comedian. To answer the question - I'd consider any city which has an established urban core to be excluded from the suburb definition. I'm sure others opinions will vary on this. To me, Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton are the only places I've spent much time that...

I think that lot should host something of a much higher standard than a copy paste bit of architecture.

Austin55

There is quite a large open area at the north east corner of the tower portion, the renderings show this area covered in glass. Is this just an atrium?
