I could see what appeared to be a floral or Starbucks like booth near the front inside. They appear to be progressing rapidly on the Tom Thumb. Not so much that they can start stocking but I would think they could open this month or just in time for November 1st.

But, I will say this...I took some family from out of town to some of the same places we have been before. It's been years since we have been to VP and it was dead as a doornail on Sunday afternoon. WV still knocks it out of the park and VP doesn't.
Tnexster wrote:Yes it was open Sunday but that seems odd that they were closed a couple days before that. Maybe they had an issue that forced them to close for a day? Maybe?
tamtagon wrote:It's inevitable that a 'convention trade' hotel finds its way somewhere in VP near the stadium, I'm only wondering when. Something along the lines of The Anatole with as much meeting & exhibition space extending use of the arena. The constantly refreshed presence of 800-1,000 super heavy consumers cycling through such a hotel would improve the viability of every retail operation in Victory Park, expand the DCVB efforts and underwrite the variety and vitality of the residential environment.

Under construction now are Ramen, Dibbs, Coworking/Coffee, a liqour store and Hero.
Already open are Imoto, Billy Can Can, Mesero, It’s Sugar, W, Neo, Cinepolis and sundry smaller shops.
So it’s getting there.

The parking lot that was the old Mandarin site, across from the W, is closed. The crew is on site taking down the parking equipment. They say they are there to start work on the new Hines residential tower. 39 stories. From the horses mouth, “This place is going to be one helluva mess come December.”

Why a mess? Are there other current projects underway? I don't see why it would it be problem.

He was just saying construction will be in full swing.

Probably means fewer available hitching posts in the area, which for a horse would be a big issue.

The Victor, with a price tag of more than $150 million, is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, says Houston-based developer Hines. Preleasing will start in the fall of 2020. The average rent will be $3,800 a month.
Highlights of each single-level floor plan will include 10-foot ceilings, private balconies, flexible living spaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as Quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, wine fridges, wide-plank wood flooring, and Italian-made custom cabinets.
“Our work has been largely influenced by the thriving Dallas arts and culture scene, and we have introduced a number of commissioned pieces as a means to experience the work of local and international artists within the framework [of] public living space,” Eric Ragni, principal of Houston’s Mayfield and Ragni Studio (MaRS), the project’s interior architect, says in a release.
Studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments will range from 635 square feet to 2,144 square feet.

It's developments like these that weaken the argument from local Dallas developers that things have to look like sh*t, have near zero pedestrian friendliness, and ample exposed parking in order for them to make a profit.
