Its beyond Stupid. And at no point will they have "visitors" taking up the parking.

Very meh.

I still can't believe TC was really pushing hard for a Sam's. What a relief that died.

New Hotel is a go at Trinity Groves.

They mention the possibility of adding a rail component to the project. Interesting

I was reading a thread about the Wynnewood Kroger on one of the Oak Cliff Facebook groups, and several people mentioned the rumor of a Sprouts coming to the property that currently houses El Fenix at the SE corner of Colorado and Beckley. Anybody here heard anything about that? I hope not. It's rig...

Corporate Welfare has been alive and kicking for some time now. Luring companies out of Dallas to the burbs has always existed. See 7-11, Exxon etc. This is just the name of game.

Some Ivy on this building would help make it more appealing. The yellowish stucco is overwhelming. We've gone over the stucco a thousand times. I'm just glad someone put some makeup on the ugly duckling and activated a critical building next to city hall. We've gone over why they had to paint the b...

Cypress Waters might as well be Coppell.

What about a Trader Joe's? That seems like it'd be a good fit for the area, just not sure exactly where. There's also the Cox Farms Market at Sylvan Thirty, but I have no idea if it's doing well or is a viable spot. Trader Joe's is a glorified Sack N save. No thank you; I'll buy off brand items for...

^ This is quite normal. These trees were somewhat already pretty grown and they were removed ...this is very stressful for trees. Some don't make it. Sad.

Umm Austin has over 12000 residences downtown. Dallas has a long way to go. Uh... You do realize there were over 11K ppl in DTD back in 2017 right? It's probably at or over 12K now with all the recently completed projects. Source? and what projects have been completed since the date of your 2017 po...

This is what happens when you cut corners and go after "value engineering".

That brewery project looks to be dead.

True & I agree , however there should be more units u/c in the CBD. There's 86 acres of land than can be developed. Maybe there will be a big wave of new developments that come out of nowhere. Who knows. Overall, I'm still excited about all the progress in our urban core. AMLI fountain place is...

So is this tom thumb express going to be separate from the Tom thumb that was planned as the tenant for the city light building?

I just don't know why they would place the express store and the actual store so close together. Why not else where in East Dallas? Over by Columbia or up on Gaston.

The road repair have exposed the old streetcar lines by founders park on Colorado. So beautiful. What a Shame.

Tivo_Kenevil

I'll have to check this out.any electric charging stations? Would be short sighted not to include these in urban areas given the Auto Industry's new direction.

Lower Greenville and this thread are talking about the same thing.

Tivo_Kenevil

What a great addition. Well done.

I hate the color palette.

AMLI's is taller.

This project seems like a mess.

UPDATE: I added some Oak Cliff lines in Green, some of which is an extension of the existing Oak Cliff Streetcar Line. I also added in the existing DART Red and Blue Lines. This helps in seeing where the new streetcar lines would connect to the existing DART rail system. I still need to add the Ora...

^^I agree. Oak Cliff will be more akin to LG.

but why so much disdain towards uptown?

That's arguably the best part of the urban core..why wouldn't you NOT want more of that!

Tivo_Kenevil

It seems like such an easy thing to do, yet it almost never happens. 555 Ross, over in the West End sorta pulled it off... Uh no. Adding stucco to 1/2 of the building does not qualify as making the facade look varied. Every development that tries to save cash does this.. I'm still pissed that the c...

I’m all for redevelopment, but I hope some of the historic homes are preserved and restored. It seems like developers are completely tearing down everything just to build more apartments. As an Oak Cliff native, I don’t want to see people who’ve lived in Oak Cliff for years displaced because of gen...

Wow Pupusas in Uptown. Now if we could get some other Latin food and maybe some Mediterranean options in there as well.

Dallas can be dense all about zoning. Look at LA.

Oaxaca LLC seems to be vested pretty heavily in West Dallas. I like their work. Hopefully this is successful

Definitely would be cool to have more hostels or hotels. Preferably more hostels.

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...

I love ft. worth. Magnolia Ave. and Downtown Ft worth have come a long way. West seventh is growing... All great things for cowtown. Thier plans with Trinity river will be their catalyst for more growth. This is a better, attainable, plan than is Dallas' failed attempt(s) to Integrate the Trinity ht...

What is unfortunate is the smaller building at the corner there labeled 2200 Main in this screenshot will be torn down for parking. I am not sad for the historical quality of the building but because the corner will become another lot. Screen Shot 2018-05-23 at 1.05.15 PM.png That's my biggest comp...

That "no transit" thing is going to hurt them badly when stacked up against other options and they are too far out of the wedge. Since DART was created 93% of the population growth in the DFW metro area has been outside of the DART service area. DART doesn't even serve the entire metropol...

I wish the surface lot next to it would turn into a garage. They could make some money off of the parking there. That's redundant. There's already one two blocks up; West end parking garage. There's tons of parking under woodall as well. I think a new office or residential tower would be great. It ...

Can we just agree that dart sucks? they would be better off devoting these funds (D2 and cB) to making the world's best BRT system.
