Dallas Fort Worth Urban Forum

Mr. Amsterdam

It's built like a fortress.

Mr. Amsterdam

One of my favorites in the past 5 years. Glad it'll take its final shape soon.

Mr. Amsterdam

It is sad that Harwood hasn't done more with their neighborhood. You couldn't have had a more boring pedestrian experience if you tried! I know this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone have any input on living at the 588 Lofts in State Thomas? They seem like a great combination of reasonable price,...

Looks tall for a 30 story, no?

Mr. Amsterdam

It might be interesting for the Galleria to become more like that newish mall in downtown Salt Lake City. Turning the top few floors into office and residential uses and incorporating more entertainment options like movie theaters, bars, restaurants, escape rooms, a climbing gym, etc would also hel...

15 levels of parking.....my god

Mr. Amsterdam

So much for the trees on the balconies

Mr. Amsterdam

Oogly AF

Mr. Amsterdam

Yeah Hall is a boomer and maybe older than that. Nothing against Hall or his development per se but... Hall has nothing up his sleeve. What a total disappointment this development is downtown. So he builds an 18-story tower that would look better out on the LBJ freeway. Wow 18 stories. Better stand...

Mr. Amsterdam

Hall has nothing up his sleeve. What a total disappointment this development is downtown. So he builds an 18-story tower that would look better out on the LBJ freeway. Wow 18 stories. Better stand back, that's approaching the 22-story new Dallas height limit. Too bad Dallas has been taken over by p...

Well, Texans do love their surface parking lots.

Mr. Amsterdam

Still looks like a movie set, but with Paradiso opening tonight and Nora opening any day, that'll change quickly. 64879457_1047789995430133_5798539839141838848_o.jpg Everything about this pic is great: downtown and uptown in the background, the wide AF sidewalks, the small-town feel of the foregrou...

Taken by someone else

Mr. Amsterdam

Taken a few days ago by someone I know.

Mr. Amsterdam

That rendering looks beautiful. It's about time something glorious filled that gaping hole right in the heart of Uptown. I'm still sad to see the Idle Rich and Gingerman buildings go, but once those are razed and replaced along with the Nicle & Rye building, there will be a crazy amount of dens...

Mr. Amsterdam

Why are the designs of Dallas high-rises so boring? If you look at the building designs in other cities like Seattle, Austin, Amsterdam, etc, you'll see some creativity. This looks like every other 15-20 story high-rise that's popped up over the last 5 years.

Well said

Mr. Amsterdam

Oh look, another cookie-cutter apartment!

Mr. Amsterdam

Time to move to the burbs Hannibal.

Mr. Amsterdam

Harwood doesn't excite me at all as a developer. The designs are great but the final product is always underwhelming.. alot of it has to do with the height of their towers and their lack of pedestrian infrastructure. Call me when they start working with an urban planning firm that'll actually make ...

Mr. Amsterdam

It's an interesting dichotomy. Like so many changes in Deep Ellum it's liked by the Internet armchair quarterbacks who don't live in the neighborhood, yet almost universally detested by the people in the neighborhood it's in. The only person I know who's looking forward to this development is the o...

Without that ridiculous spire.

Mr. Amsterdam

Wow. I cannot believe anyone would let parking consume a city like that, even during the height of carphoria.

Mr. Amsterdam

Downtown has surpassed 11,000 residents according to Patrick Kennedy who referred to Downtown Dallas Inc in the tweet.

Mr. Amsterdam

I want it to be a decent-sized high rise, but my gut is saying that it'll probably be another one of those bland 20-22 stories, with half of it as a parking garage.

Mr. Amsterdam

Wow Austins crushing it. How many downtown apartment towers do they have in the works? Seems like DT Dallas is behind them in this regard. Houston's also doing really well. Dallas does seem to be lagging in comparison. See the bottom of this page with a compilation of under construction and propose...

Mr. Amsterdam

Damn. I'm loving the sidewalk width. Not quite as wide as here in AMS, but it's a huge improvement, relatively speaking. Awe... Amsterdam, what a great city. I am envious. I am envious of Dallas's housing supply. It's just a travesty over here, especially for those looking for student housing.

I'm probably one of the few Conservatives on here (and one of those Evangelical Christians at that- GASP!!)... Some of the comments above sort of make me chuckle, but hey we're all created different with different ideas and different opinions. I'm a proud Trump Supporter and a proud Cruz Supporter....

I wasn't able to attend the meeting, but I did receive a PDF via e-mail with more information on this project: https://www.scribd.com/document/384052935/2018-06-01-Presentation-for-CPC-003-1 (Let me know if the link doesn't work.

Mr. Amsterdam

Where will the artists lofts be located if they are coming later? That lot isnt huge, so I imagine theyd be built into the overall construction of the building, right? The article also mentions 41 floors, not the 39 that was mentioned in previous articles. Does anyone know if the actual height will...

I found the following link of 2018 U.S. city population figures. I can't tell if this states if this data is according to the U.S. Census Bureau. http://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/ Arlington more dense than Dallas? That is very surprising. And good god @ Jacksonville. I thought Dallas's de...

Mr. Amsterdam

The the land the Walgreens is on being attached to this property. I'd love to see that lot re-developed as well. If we had at least one side of McKinney more urban through that block. It would really help connect West Village to the rest of Uptown. Right now it just feels separated. You bring up a ...
