Well so far occupancy is still good downtown according to the podcast I attended the other day. They seemed quite optimistic about the future of downtown.

Somebody else mentioned this in another thread, but it is concerning. "The downtown protest marches also may have prompted some center city residents to head for the ‘burbs, agents said." I hope this doesn't turn into another white flight. People are already moving out and encouraging oth...

Yeah i feel it was on its way to having alot more hotel rooms, but covid changed things up for God knows how long if not indefinitely.

Warrior2015

Interesting that they ended up with the highest floors which will cost them more but the tie in with the Tower Club makes sense. A country club without a golf course even with their recent renovations I am sure is still a hard sell. Now with a guaranteed income from hotel access partons. Notice eve...

I wish downtown dallas had a vision similar to this of seattle for the decade. https://youtu.be/mxc-J1oqhsQ Their renderings need more homeless people. :D Jk.

The residents here will be able to have grocery service via the Thompson hotel.

It sucks having so much competition nearby for office workers such as plano, frisco, etc. How does that suck? Competition is the best thing for us all. Competition drives everyone to step up their game. Competition is fine, but too much of anything can be bad. When we have to compete with Irving,pl...

It really is game changer. It turned out so nice and all of the historical architecture around it makes it even better. My friend from CA was very impressed with the Discovery District when we went last month.

Steve Brown calls it an apartment "block" which conjures up images of a typical stick built Dallas donut, but with 280 units on such a small parcel of land it sounds like we might get a midrise here. I'm guesstimating about 10 floors of apartments on top of 2-3 floors of garage? An underg...

If Dallas were somehow able to adequately develop south Dallas those numbers would likely turn. In order for that to happen there would have to be a black exodus and a white interest in order for development to take off down there.Other than that, its going to keep being "charity" like de...
