Re: East Quarter: ~24 Building Redevelopment

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

Re: Old Cityplace Twin Tower site

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.

Re: Austin's proposed tallest (in 4 yrs)

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...

Re: Mid Elm Lofts

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.

Re: Could Dallas land Amazon HQ '2'?

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....

Re: Uptown: Carlisle St. Urban Renewal Project/Block 968

Re: Arts District: Flora & Olive Tower (~441 FT / ~39 ST)

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...

Re: New Census Population Estimates

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...

Re: Uptown Dallas: Central Market at McKinney and Lemmon

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 ...
