Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

8-13-18 is less than a month out, any sign that anything is actually happening here?

You do understand that there isn’t a net change in jobs right? We paid them $4.8M to move across city borders which I believe is a dangerous precedent. These kinds of cross border moves happen all the time and have been doing so for about as long as I can remember, to be honest I really have to han...

Personally I like the idea of Uptown getting some infill hotels like this with event space contained in the building that will more than likely be booked well in advance. This one is good, the WV hotel is great, in reality I'd love to see more of these scattered about.

McKinney property owners rally around unofficial plan for Highway 380 bypass targeting rural land

I see a little sign for Annex, nice little coffee shop. Costs a little more than Starbucks but it's worth it.

Still no published design?

Pictures look nice and shows some promise.

No they have been continuing the march upward pretty much continuously, the only thing that stops them is rain. They pour concrete every day. I did notice that they are reaching the top level of the garage and are setting the support columns for the top of the podium but that just started today whil...

Hilton covers Uptown with new 'Canopy' hotel brand

Walsh is way out there west of Forth Worth, doesn't really strike me as urban.

I wish this one were about 10 floors taller.....well, I say that now...once the glass goes in I may change my mind.

Back on AMLI, an observation about the now completed 10 story parking garage. Being in an office that looks down on this complex I can not help but notice that they have an abundance of parking in that garage. So much so that once you get above the third level there appear to be very few cars parked...

I remember when the number was 4,000, then 6,000 but always going up. 10,700 doesn't sound unreasonable at this point. Downtown, Uptown, VP and DE are so closely tied together I don't know how you just exclude them anymore.

I have always felt that Legacy West sort of sucked the life out of everything else around it while it was such a hot ticket. It will be fun to see what happens with Legacy East if any of that gets off the ground. Plano has a solid reputation building live-work-play environments that seem to be well ...

Here is something, looks like a fairly typical freeway widening project that promises to alleviate congestion but probably won't.

Burleson has one too.

The sales pace is certainly better on this tower.

Isn't that the one that ended up costing like $130k per 400 sqft "cottage?" Surely there's a better solution. You could likely give them a 3/2 single wide mobile home and lot on the city outskirts for less than that.

What?

What's up with the empty grocery store in a primo Uptown Dallas spot? Curious Texas finds out

https://www.dallasnews.com/life/curious ... exas-finds

It is worse than most people thought and it deserves much more attention, a little embarrassing news coverage can do wonders for fixing problems.

I much prefer this to having the rangers move into the city, this is perfect. For local residents, you can even walk on the Katy Trail to go to a game and stop at a local restaurant or bar on the way home. I can't wait to see what kind of local support the team gets.

That is a seriously deep garage. Glad that went down and not up.

Plano's $3 billion Legacy West is getting its own CVS store

Maybe the resistance to build residential at 2000 Ross now was a smart play.

There is nothing on their Twitter feed about it.

Glad they put some in but wish Elm had more.

The construction elevator on the office tower has been removed and is being glassed in.

The parking garage is moving up another level, going to 7.

Maybe they read this forum!

Guess we will find out when they top out.

Uptown Dallas' new Union project lands four more tenants

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea ... ur-tenants

I'd be happy if they built one of those, even the shorter of them. Although to be honest I sort of like the shorter of them more than those supertalls.

Last time I walked by this place I noticed the space on the east side where nothing is being built. There was a large picture on the wall in front that showed a green park like setting in that space. Doesn't look like the residential tower is coming anytime soon.

I have gone back and looked at renderings, pictures, counted floors and keep coming up with 39.

I've never been a fan of the new office tower. It's design and scale are totally inappropriate for the neighborhood. But the lights they're testing are beyond belief -- and I don't mean in a good way. They are so bright that with just one floor lit it's borderline uncomfortable to look at them from...

tamtagon wrote:The Gate is the $5 Billion Mile component funded by Arabian Peninsula money, right?

Yes, although I believe on of the concerns from Frisco's side is that the so called developer in this situation has been selling off bits and pieces of the land kind of like Beck at Midtown.

With this tower going up, it would be cool if the Meyerson would remove the wall and open up their plaza facing Pearl. Considering Pearl is a high-speed roadway with the city making no attempt to improve its pedestrian safety I see no reason for Meyerson to take down the wall that ultimately keeps ...

Isn't that pedestrian bridge finished yet? They were working on that a year ago.

One more surface lot retired.

They have started working on the south face of the parking garage, it's a small section but they appear to be drilling into the concrete and inserting what appears to be heavy duty cable that is sticking out the side...that's my best description. Maybe it's for the glass curtain wall? I would assume...

I lose count but this isn't the first time the end was called. I remember not that long ago when 2018 was the end of the cycle.
