I wonder if they'll incorporate any additional retail / restaurant space into the ground-floor of this building?! I continue to be impressed with the overall development and rapid pace at which they're building and leasing! If I didn't enjoy living in Las Colinas Urban Center so much this would be a...

It sounds like the margins are pretty slim, and I wonder how long until the Sbarros and Subways of the world start moving in. Seems to be heading in that direction: http://dallas.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/04-08-19-plano-legacy-food-hall-velvet-taco/ Wow, what a coupe for Legacy Hall to g...

With NorthPark repositioning the retail and going more upscale, I wonder if they have any plans to revamp the restaurant space? The retail tenant mix doesn't necessarily mesh with the likes of Kona Grill, PF Chang's and Season's 52 which are basically all mid-scale chains. I mean I love them all, ju...

Finally we're getting a coffee shop in the Urban Center... A place called Pax & Beneficia has signed a lease in Water Street in the space right next to Go Fish Poke. Don't know much about it. Only Pax coffee shop I could find is in Kerrville, TX. So might be the same owners. Great addition, espe...

On the subject of Hops and Vines... I'd really like to know what's going on between the owner and the city. I've heard lots of hubbub in the craft beer community about how the owner has been trying to get up and running for ages BUT... I wonder how much of that is coming from the owner. I used to l...

A new Axe throwing franchise is Coming to the TMF... I think this is a pretty solid addition!

I hadn't heard that about Bar Louie... I mean they certainly could seeing as the space right next door is still vacant. I think Gloria's is boxed in, although they did upgrade their patio facing the plaza. I think the Reservoir has the potential to take some of the Bar Louie clientele once they open.

Wanted to share my weekend experiences at Water Street and Music Factory... Friday Night- Weather was great so a friend and I decided to head down to Water Street to grab some dinner. The entire place was packed! We thought we'd grab a pizza at Olivella's, but they were on a 20 minute wait. Their pa...

I love how people always use "traffic" and "congestion" to try and deter projects they don't like. I really doubt the 300 people that will live in this building will have any impact on traffic. The reality is half of the building will be occupied by rich SMU kids that will walk t...

Kelley USA

I will say they did get some serious wind... Half the utility poles right there along Beltline were knocked down and some were even snapped in half. Tons more leaning over. They must have gotten 80+ straight line winds. Still cause for concern though!

The early success of The Henry is the reason I've always thought a Hillstone, Houston's or Café R&D (all same company) would absolutely clean-up with an Uptown location.

Kelley USA

This seems like a good concept for Uptown... Foxtrot from Chicago will be taking over the former McKinney Ave Tavern location.

It looks like the Hotel Development at 114 and 161 is imminent. This is the parcel that Tom Gaglardi (Dallas Stars owner) bought from Jerry Jones. It'll have 2 hotels and a Moxie's Restaurant. I believe the 2 hotel flags are Signature Sandman & Sutton Place. I noticed the area has been staked of...

Looks like this place has signed a lease for Victory... It's a chain of award winning escape rooms. Looks pretty cool to be honest! A little entertainment option to bring people down to VP. I noticed it on the updated site plan.

I think Grimaldi's, YardHouse, Gloria's, Bar Louie and Thirsty Lion are all doing pretty solid business! I can see them still being around 10 years from now. Also went to Green Gator last week (Friday night). I'll take a differetn stance, but me and my friends actually loved the 80's music and the l...

I could be wrong, but appears we have yet another casualty at TMF. On Sunday it looked like stuff was being removed from Top Round. A quick glance at the TMF website and they have disappeared from the list of restaurants. I have to say I'm not surprised. Not because the food was bad, but because the...

A quick glance at the website indicates the approx. pricing for apartments...

1 Bedroom- $2500 / 2 Bedroom- $6000 / 3 Bedroom- $12,000

I'm assuming they can find enough gullible buyers to pay these prices. I mean don't get me wrong, the finish-outs are spectacular!

Kelley USA

Don't forget, there's still 7K sq ft of restaurant space next to where Chase is. I think the plan was always to have an upscale restaurant, casual restaurant and a grab-n-go spot. I bet we'll see something more approachable go in as well!

Yes, Green Gator started to open just for lunch a few days ago and extended the hours starting this past Friday. They are now open 11am - 12pm. I walked by yesterday around 5:30 and only a few people inside. It was nice to see the door open and the lights and tv's on again. I thought Billy Bob actua...

I don't ever recall seeing this project... Saw this today on the Shop Companies website (Hines Deep Ellum). Not sure how old it is.

Thanks for the update! I've been really impressed by this one. I wonder how well the restaurants are going to do in the evening... I imagine they'll get a HH bump from all the workers, and obviously they'll be brisk at lunch, but curious how they'll fair on say a Saturday night?!

The Ark Group is looking to amend the current lease for the Toyota Music Factory. They're wanting to convert all ground level and 2nd floor space in the B Building into office use.

So basically Amazon is saying we'd rather not build at all than bring 1/2 of the HQ2 to Dallas (or Charlotte, or Chicago, or Austin, or Atlanta)… Maybe things will change, but I sort of see it as they're still not very high on Dallas or any of the other cities.

Looking at the developers website - it looks like the address is 148 Pittsburgh. Also, looking at the developers website, it doesn't seem like this is a real project. They seem to be a brokerage firm that is trying to play developer. Wow, totally small world... I was actually inside 148 Pittsburgh ...

^^ Great sleuthing! The article does mention it to be on the site of a print shop, and both M Press Printing and Dallas Letter Press are in that location. If it is on that site, the only downside is that there are massive powerlines that run right along the side of that property. You can't really se...

From the DMN... A new tower is proposed on an old industrial site off Riverfront Blvd. It will overlook the Trinity River. If you look closely at the rendering you can see a Hard Rock Hotel logo, although the article mentions it's an unnamed brand. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/201...

Well I mean the reality is they don't need to "re-open" the search. I mean they already have all of the information they need. So, either they're telling the truth or they already know where they want to go. I think in the end they'll just end up adding to their footprint and adding more j...

Well, if they really are planning on adding the hotel and apartments then technically it could be cheaper to bring the crane down and then erect it again depending on the timeframe. Can't be 100% certain, but it generally cost about $50K to bring a crane down and then another $25k - $50K per month t...

Fun Fact: Embassy suites originally proposed a hotel on this site back in the 90's. If I'm not mistaken, they have owned the land ever since. Yep that's correct.

More about the Texican Court hotel, with pictures. Looks like something Motel 6 or Alamo Plaza would do in Santa Fe. A little surprised about the exterior-entrance rooms. In most new hotel construction these days, the rooms face inside. https://www.guidelive.com/fun-places-and-events/2019/01/16/hot...
