Yawn. Oh look, another 22 story office building. In a prominent location no less. Oh wow, a towering 22 story building holy cow. Seems like that's all we can build anymore. 22 stories. That's it. Zzzzzzzzz. There are height limits throughout Uptown, so this is about what folks should expect in this...

eburress

They're sure letting the maintenance of the existing buildings go, which is sad to see. Such a shame and such a waste.

eburress

^^ Minor details, Amazon.

How many people would actually be walking around Deep Ellum in the middle of the afternoon on any weekend from late May to late September? It's definitely possible. Palm Springs gets hotter than Dallas in the summer, but that doesn't stop folks from shopping around, hanging out on patios, attending...

Speaking as a ~Millennial~ East Dallas resident who moved here from central Boston (where we enjoyed several lively, urban, walkable, dedicated shopping districts), it absolutely is annoying trying to "go shopping" in Dallas. There is no one place with a good diversity of interesting shop...

eburress

yeah, I echo the demand for info on the Henderson development. I live a block from Henderson and many of us in the neighborhood are VERY impatient for some walkable amenities. I also made a point of asking about the repaving of Henderson Avenue, which is conspicuously absent from the city's five-ye...

eburress

I wonder about that shopping center. That location is ideal for a significant development which would be the nexus of two of the city's more happening areas, Henderson and Lower Greenville, and could help to extend that momentum south down Ross Ave.

eburress

I usually see people in there but it's definitely not "hopping." Assuming they survive their reviews, this should improve some when it warms up and the patio and rooftop portions of the venue open up. Re. the building itself, I know what you mean but based on some of the recent renderings ...

eburress

Thanks for posting...that's a very good shot of the development! What an imposing presence that'll have once it's all done!

eburress

Yep, any of those would be a dramatic improvement over either of the proposed retreads.

eburress

Well, the loopnet listing was updated just 4 days ago. However, it's not the cylindrical design that was once kicked around. It's the other design which I think has been the preferred design by Hillwood for awhile now. Maybe something is moving forward?? Listing and marketing brochure links below. ...

eburress

That copper looks REALLY good! Thanks for posting all the pics, Chris!

eburress

Good lord I wish them luck but that space is such a total destination with no access other than walk ups from the Katy Trail. I hope they got an incredible lease based only on sales. I was wondering how easy this venue would be to access, and it sounds like you answered my question. What an awful s...

"Also on the housing authority's list for new development are prime prosperties in Dallas' Uptown and Oak Lawn neighborhoods. That includes the Little Mexico Village community on Harry Hines Boulevard in Uptown..." Ignoring the typo, I wonder what this means for LMV and how exactly they i...

eburress

Indeed, and fewer dead zones.

eburress

I don't know if the land sold yet, but the owners definitely did put it up for sale. The museum's not happening.

eburress

I remember those mall proposals. One was adjacent to the Crescent, one was across the street from BOA Center, and the other, my favorite because of all the towers it brought, was between Akard and St. Paul at Ross. The hope was that a Downtown mall would do for Dallas what Horton Plaza did for Downt...

eburress

Yeah, I read it to be LA-styled, not actually an LA-based restaurant bringing Tex-Mex to Texas.

eburress

I kinda hope Clutch and Concrete end up on Ross Ave, a little further north so as to help bridge the gap with Lower Greenville, but I'm guessing they both end up in the vicinity of City Lights, Backyard, Bottled Blonde, and all that.

eburress

That's exciting! Thanks for posting!

eburress

For real. Everybody take a deep breath...

eburress

Not to be too greedy, but I so wish this was happening in DFW.

eburress

It sure seems so. There are some spots now but hopefully the addition of Toller will start to create some critical mass in the area.

eburress

Any of those sites it's going to be difficult to develop since State Thomas will fight anything they don't like. They will offer their blessing as long as the developer agrees to valet driven restaurant concepts on the ground floor. Why would residents in State Thomas need to have valet parking whe...

Are you speaking of professional golf, or is your contention that interest or fervor in golf across the board is dying? Either way, what are you basing that on?

eburress

The site previously announced for the McKinney/Boll tower was on the southeast corner so yes, it would seem this is another, separate project (this one on the northeast corner) making a grand total of THREE potential new towers at this intersection. Wow!

eburress

So this is now fully residential, rather than the former mixed use "Maple Leaf" proposal? With the higher land price, I wonder if there is some motivation to build taller.

eburress · Re: Over Dallas - 11/25/2018 Oh how funny, I didn't notice that. Good eyes!

Oh how funny, I didn't notice that. Good eyes!

Wow, what a transformation! Gorgeous!

I've stayed at the Dream in LA and NYC (the Downtown one) and they've both been great/fun. I sure hope this happens in Dallas.

eburress

Dallas *is* bigger than Atlanta, and based on 2016 numbers, slightly more dense.

eburress

Oooh, I like that! It's not at all what I expected, but that's a good looking structure.

eburress

Man, that's pretty...and I really like how they've covered the garage! I can't wait to see this one rise!

eburress

Peak-Haskell should have been a transportation priority a decade ago, and now it's edging toward the critical point -- should the neighborhood be protected from ridiculously inadequate peak commuter infrastructure. Central and I-30 are the clear feeders to the the potent employment and educational ...

eburress

Maybe by "this place," they meant the garage itself since it's being disassembled.

eburress

That's too bad. It was a great place to go eat light, and I hope some other, similar concept pops up to replace it.

eburress

You've got a good view of this and Artelier...thanks for the photo! Incidentally, is that a gash in the roof of the parking garage across the street or am I just seeing things?

eburress

I will be happy as long as Headington doesn't demolish those old structures.

eburress

"This activates the entire street frontage, and it will be a great pedestrian experience."

I think I need a cigarette! hahaha What fantastic news!

Top 10 Dallas-Fort Worth locations primed for Amazon HQ2 https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/10/16/top-10-dallas-fort-worth-locations-amazon-hq2.html How is Las Colinas not on this list? That is surprising. It would seem Las Colinas meets as much of Amazon's criteria as many of these sites.

I enthusiastically second that, along Ross and all over town.

That would be the absolute best case scenario, in my opinion.

^^ I'm kind of glad Two Arts never happened. For such a prominent location I feel the buildings' design should have been so much stronger.

Went to the Galleria a couple of weekends ago on a Saturday only because I was nearby and thought lets check it out needed a few things. Wow how sad the mighty has fallen. Store fronts closed across several sections. Hardly anyone there felt like I was at an outlet mall. Maybe they can convert the ...

I hope they fix the sidewalks surrounding this new building, specifically along Caroline. Doing so would do a lot towards helping to get people from Ascent, Moda, and Victory Place to Right Aid and the new Tom Thumb by foot. Here's a question, is Caroline Street really necessary or could it be conv...

eburress

The buildings they want demolished connect to city owned property (the skyway). Maybe we have some leverage here. I think First Baptist knows that, and for that reason was trying to sneak the demolition by everyone before announcing the larger plans. If they need some kind of permit or variance or ...

It is a tragedy that it was allowed to happen. If anyone's seen those 70s era aerial photos of Houston, the destruction was even worse.

I've always been a fan of Cafe Express but the quality of their food has dropped *dramatically* over the last few years. I'm not surprised they're struggling.
