Bummer that this will block the w hotel which i think is a beautiful building.. its cool this and amli fountain place are being constructed to add to the skyline, its just stinks they are going to block two amazing buildings. Skylines are to be enjoyed at different angles. Adding another building e...

Here's an up and coming LA based Female R&B that I really dig. Check her out:

This is very exciting- but are they partnered with KDC? :D :lol: I'm hoping this developer can pull it off, but I've never heard of De la Vega Development. I hope they have more moxie and wherewithal than Beck or the Spire group. Well they applied for construction permit. So some sort of financing ...

Another movie theater?! Why so many... Geez.

Pshhh.... A Sam's Club would've been cooler.

Haha. Good laugh this article.

I've always loved this building. Great character.

Woo-Hoo! Im really excited for this project. The sidewalks look fabulous!

Beauty bar should stay in Henderson. They've been a staple for a while now. But I guess construction will force them a way.

Tivo_Kenevil

Also, this development is much more fitting for the suburban, middle-class Hispanic population around the area than a trendy, $6 juice bar or coffee shop or "luxury" apartments. And hopefully, it'll take some of the traffic from Cockrell Hill. Totally missing the point. No one cares that ...

Tivo_Kenevil

Oh thank god. When you wrote “taking the bus lane away” I thought you meant remove rather than move. Do you know if they’re taking out a travel lane or the parking lane, or just narrowing all the remaining lanes? Just because DART/the City is bad about enforcement, that doesn’t mean the dedicated t...

They had to keep the buildings historical contetx. That's the original stucco color from the 60's. Blame the guy put the stucco on there in the first place.

I don't like "i". A capital letter would look better imo.

Did this building used to awnings? It looks like it is missing something..

I like it. To bad I don't think this will spur any Development

Tivo_Kenevil

If Hertz set up a rental place at the Bullet Train station; it would be cool if they added it to the Development.

Tivo_Kenevil

Why again would they not allow this type of thing. Utterly ridiculous.

Tivo_Kenevil

Does anyone know what the final product will be like?

Tivo_Kenevil

It's such a small park, that I was hoping this would be one of the first they finish. Maybe this news does indicate things might start moving sooner rather than later. Dallas sure does love over-doing it when it comes to their parks. I do like Klyde Warren and Main Street Garden, but it'd be nice t...

The side walks are fine. What they really need to do is remove the poles obstructing the foot path.

Whatever happens to the mocking bird station redevelopment? Those lots near SMU and the Phoenix apartments would br ideal for mixed use purpose.

^only as much as Las Colinas was the new downtown 20 years ago. Downtown Fort Worth has stagnated for decades, it a small employment center compared to Las Colinas and Plano/Frisco, but it's an actual downtown with actual downtown amenities.... just because a lot of people work there doesn't mean i...

Cool. I wonder Dallas finally will get to 4K in pop. density.

Definitely would like to what downtown looks like.

The hostel seems to be getting ready to open as they have posted a Craigslist ad looking for front desk help. It will include 14 rooms and a bar. I wish them plenty of success and look forward to trying the bar and meeting visitors from around the world! https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/fbh/d/deep...

.15% difference... We'd need more data to see if that's even significant or not. Inconclusive at best.

I don't know if the driver can get the blame. Sure you would like them to stop but what if the person at the wheel did not see the person...their job is to test is it not?..how can they test something or prevent something at night.... it's a very delicate situation. I wish the human intervened. Aft...

Also, these vehicles need to be tested at 25 mph. Why even go 40?

I'm shocked the Lidar didn't pick up the pedestrian at night..not a good look. But to be fair, the pedestrian holds a lot responsibility here. She was being stupid; just casually moving along like nothing. She also didn't cross the street at a crosswalk area. She has to cross the street quickly and ...

The building was never under-valued. Sadly, Doug's gym was just outdated and people have other options in downtown. They had an incredible run but the taxes are to high for a stand alone gym to make the owner a favorable margin. Simple.

Young St. Is so nasty. That stupid crater going underground infront of the library is so unnecessary. That street is so wide, 6 lanes, why not incorporate some bike Lanes to Farmers market? Connect them to the Houston st. Viaduct bike track. This whole area has a Cold War Soviet Union like hostility...

Was this lot part of the Amazon HQ2 bid? I know Hines was a partner. I wonder if this means VP bid wasn't good enough. Is it too soon to ask for renders...

Maybe they should change the name of the area to rebrand. Nothing about that area is park-like anyway. Victory Heights fits better. Yeah, I'm totally for that idea. Victory Park is definitely a misleading name. I've had a friend think that Klyde Warren Park was actually called Victory Park, and ano...

It was listed as a requirement on the HQ2 website, along with their requirements about international airport, being adjacent to transit, etc. Link? Quote? Anything?
