Keep them coming and I believe this is near the the new Central Market mixed use project as well. The density is starting to bring all parts of the urban city together.

Eataly going to the burbs would be very painful I hope that does not happen.

Cbdallas

Beginning to wonder if Dallas will ever land another big fish downtown. Everyone wants to move here but not to downtown Dallas which is ironic because that is the spoke to our regions mass transit. Oh well suburbia wins again.

The problem with the Gap is that is sits between the low end Old Navy and the upper end Banana Republic and since the middle markets of most retail is vanishing they are hurting and will continue to do so until something can prop back up the middle class consumer. We will see a lot more of this in r...

That is fantastic I wish this type of development was happening at all of the inner urban core DART stations. It would change the city.

Cbdallas

I was just at the one in NYC SOHO and if it ever does come here it will be worth the wait pretty cool place.

Cbdallas

It just needs a new tenant. Would not be surprised to see another large law firm take this and make a presence in the future.

Cbdallas

In the end Amazon had to do what they had to do and grabbing the taxpayer money from 2 sites to end up with a bigger total was pretty brilliant also not overtaxing the infrastructure of just one city which is still going to be an issue in both of those locations. From a non business perspective I ha...

If it ends up NYC DC then not very trans-formative and this whole deal ends up being a whole lot of hot air.

Saturday night at about 7pm I rode the red line from Cityplace uptown station down to the convention center to see the Aurora light installation at city hall. It was nice to see the trains full and standing room only heading downtown on a Weekend night. I can't help but think if we could increase pr...

I think the Hines tower will be the puzzle piece that pulls this entire area together as a whole and in the least contributes to more people living there.

Cbdallas

The restaurant business and the way young people eat out has changed pretty dramatically since the hey day of Cafe Express. It is easy to forget that back in the day there were very few options to eat in that area and they filled that void but not the case today so many options and so much more to c...

I have always thought it made the most sense to have a west east and third coast middle spot (Dallas). We will probably find out in a short while. Once the rumors run rampant they don't want to drag it out and get ahead of the dialogue.

This is not the droid you are looking for nothing to see move along.

Strategic 100 North American Infrastructure Report FYI: Other North Texas projects on the list are the the Cotton Belt Regional Rail, the D2 Subway, LBJ East Interstate 635 and the Trinity Lakes TOD Station. https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/10/30/texas-bullet-train-top-infrastructure-pro...

Apparently everyone needs a room to stay in Dallas. I never thought I would see so many high end hotels be built in Dallas but I am glad that we seem to need all of these rooms. Will be a great addition to Harwood district.

Cbdallas

I was wanting it to go across uptown and oaklawn not Park cities it could then turn north on the tollway and serve the next station at NW HWY. I don't care about any stations in the bubble you can bypass them completely unless they want a Dallas Country Club/Highland Park Village station LOL.

Cbdallas

Why not just an underground tunnel from Burbank Station to the terminal with the same moving sidewalks they use in the parking garages. Simple not near as much money and direct terminal access.

Cbdallas

For me what is really the urban issue is that there is no presence through the uptown area from Victory up to the southern border of Highland Park. If there was a line that cut up through there and then went up the tollway to Frisco and all of that development then I think it could be a fairly robus...

Cbdallas

I am glad to hear that there was another issue. I was on the Green line train downtown and we had no idea why the delay but it seemed strange that the train would stop and sit in between each station until we past PEARL when we went back to normal speed to Fair Park Station. My point was that as Dal...

This also "Never in my real estate career have I seen so many national law firms opening Dallas offices. It is simply unprecedented," Phil Puckett, Executive Vice President and leader of CBRE's Law Firm Practice Group in Dallas, said in a new report. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/rea...

Cbdallas

The train corridor through downtown Dallas this past Sunday was super clogged with the green line taking people to the fair. It took 45 minutes to get from Market center station to Fair park station with most of the delay from West End to Pearl. If we continue to grow as it seems we are we will need...

Cbdallas

Surely that merry go round is just a cut and past place holder until they figure out what to do there. It looks ridiculous. I heard the sky bridge connecting the Perot all the way to the Arts District would be a phase 3 project at a later date.

Cbdallas

This looks like they might exceed my expectations for this development. So excited to see this get done.

Cbdallas

If you really want to see this effect and the routing out of a city visit San Francisco. It feels like Blade Runner with the really rich behind closed doors and the rest on sidewalks with empty run down store fronts. I really don't know what the answer is to this as the online shopping and now food ...

They could at least run a Haunted House in the building to generate some cash for October.

Winner will be announced at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with an extra 10% off for Amazon Prime members.

I noticed that the truck had moved around doing multiple samples so maybe progress is happening.

Cbdallas

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 t...

Cbdallas

With the improvements coming to the building and the new park nearby coming hopefully they can secure a new lease to absorb this loss. That part of downtown is on the move so I hope this doesn't stifle that energy.

Cbdallas

I am afraid their restaurant model is from decades ago and does not attract millennial types. Maybe it is time for something new and fresh there. I tried the new model on McKinney and used to eat at the old one for many years but I don't see many people there. I thought it would do well there but th...

But will they be able to sell alcohol not just beer and wine.

Cbdallas

Will be exciting to see this area once all of those apartments being built are filled with people. This are should be very energized even on Monday evenings and will end up a cool destination on the streetcar.

Cbdallas

If they would just put 8 stories of apartments above all of this I would be ok. I just don't understand why that would not be feasible for that area with Cityplace and Uptown right there. I said the same thing with Turtle Creek Village why did they not build it up with living mixed into the retail.

Cbdallas

Will this actually be called the Cotton Belt line or will it be given a color based name as other DART lines.

Cbdallas

My biggest challenge with the current DART system is that there are not enough urban stations serving Dallas. Every line inside of loop 12 should have more stations especially as you close in towards downtown. We have made it easy to live in the burbs and work downtown but not easy if you actually l...

Cbdallas

I walked from Deep Ellum down through Farmers Market down Harwood and through East District then on through the Arts District on Sunday and I can feel how this entire part of downtown is about to merge into the feel of one cohesive area. I would even include going down to AT & T discovery area a...

Cbdallas

At this point this would be considered low density use in Allen. Why can't they put apartments above the retail. What a joke they are and apparently have zero interest in doing what is right for Dallas.

Cbdallas

This would be a great spot to put condos for sale on top of that mixed use tower as there is not any high rise condos for sale in the West Village area just rentals.

Cbdallas

I really would have thought that Kessler Pies would have some business with the apartment people or even getting some from the office tenants. Not sure what is going to happen down there it seems the people that live and work there eat and shop elsewhere which is odd considering they can walk out th...

Cbdallas

If nothing else we need to build this park just for all the instagram photo opportunities.

Cbdallas

I am starting to get concerned that if they don't announce the mixed use development soon for McKinney and Lemmon for the Central Market that it could be delayed even more due to the upcoming slowdown in a year or so.

Cbdallas

Both Oak Lawn and Lemmon Ave. both retain much of their 1970's to 1980's suburban character sadly.

Cbdallas

I think the real challenge in DFW today is that you really are making a personal decision to ride the train and streetcar. Maybe once in a while an event like the OU Texas game or a huge event downtown or at Victory pushes more people onto the train that want to avoid the hassle of traffic and parki...

Cbdallas

If we make the final short list I say we give them everything they want if they commit to going downtown. It would set a new course for Dallas for the next 50 years and secure us as a top business city.

Cbdallas

I am not too concerned about these parking garages. Around the world in urban centers I have already seen very cool adaptive reuse for these spaces to become office, living and retail/restaurant spaces. The car will die at the very end in the USA so meantime we will still be using these for a bit mo...

425 sq. ft. for 1350 per month. Micro mini size for NYC pricing. They better hope we get Amazon.

Cbdallas

I am so glad to see this area finally get some new urban development. especially since the Midtown development is stuck in lawsuits. I would love to see this entire area become dense and fully developed out.

Cbdallas

I still think they will pick a top 2 or 3 and then milk the incentives and go where they get the most.
