Sic'EmBears Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Target to open its first small-concept store in Dallas-Fort Worth Project Location Target is bringing its first small-format store to the Dallas area next summer. The store will open in Preston Center in Dallas near upscale shoppers in Preston Hollow and the Park Cities. The 54,700-square-foot store will open in July on the west side of the shopping center in the Pavilion building at Westchester Drive and Berkshire Lane. The Preston Center store will sell beer and wine and serve as a pickup point for online purchases, said Mark Schindele, senior vice president properties at Target. Online orders are usually ready in an hour, Target said. Merchandise will be tailored to the area, Target said. Groceries will be focused on fresh produce and grab-and-go items, snacks and meal solutions. The store will stock smaller selections of home décor, beauty, apparel and accessories, some consumer electronics, toys and sporting goods. Target has been remodeling stores across D-FW. The Minneapolis-based retailer said earlier this year that it will spend $220 million to remodel its local stores. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) to design new science center at St. Mark's: Project Location Winn Science Center The 79,000-square-foot Winn Science Center will organize biology, chemistry, and earth science labs around a skylit central commons. A large glazed entry porch will lead to a double-height lounge, welcoming daily student traffic and evening visitors to public exhibitions; a Maker Lab and lower-school lab will stand to either side of the lounge. The new two-story building will also provide a 250-seat lecture hall and a research greenhouse. A planetarium, visible from Preston Road, will serve as a symbol of St. Mark’s position as a leader in science education. The new building will open to a south-facing teaching garden dedicated to the flora and fauna of Texas. The Center will complete a quadrangle with the existing Green Library and Lower School, extending the pattern of small courtyard gardens that is characteristic of the St. Mark’s campus. The adjacent McDermott-Green Hall will be renovated as part of this project to accommodate physics and general science labs. The Winn Science Center will carry forward the palette established by architect Charles Tapley in the 1960s with St. Joe’s brick and cooper roofs. The project is targeting LEED Gold certification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 High-rise mixed-use project will replace old Sears store at Dallas' Valley View Project Location A New York real estate investor is teaming up with Dallas developer KDC to build up to 1 million square feet of office space as part of a mixed-use project in Far North Dallas. The planned development by Seritage Growth Properties and KDC is part of the 430-acre Dallas Midtown district along the north side of LBJ Freeway. The 23-acre development will include two office towers, retail, a cinema and more on the site of the closed Sears store at the old Valley View mall. "This project will stand out as an iconic landmark while still blending into the surrounding community, creating strong connectivity and pedestrian access in a sustainable environment." KDC is North Texas' busiest office developer, building projects including Toyota's new North American headquarters in Plano and the huge State Farm Insurance regional campus in Richardson. The commercial property company has been working for several months on a plan for site of the old Sears store, which shut down earlier this year. Early plans call for a complex of shops, restaurants, apartments and a hotel as part of the high-rise development. A park sits in the middle of the complex, which was designed by Omniplan and 505 Design. "The Preston Road frontage begs for some retail," Guthrey said. "We are looking at two- to three-story urban retail, and there is multifamily planned to the west and midrise apartments or condos. "It is a very mixed-use plan." "Seritage's plans are going to be a transformational project that converts the Sears site into a highly productive office and first-class retail, dining and entertainment destination," James Bry, Seritage executive vice president of development and construction, said in a statement. Developer Hillwood Urban and EF Properties LC are working on plans for office buildings and mixed-use construction on the site of the old Macy's department store at Valley View. And Beck Ventures is planning additional development on the rest of the mall site. Other developers are building apartments, hotels and retail space on surrounding properties east of the Galleria. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Old strip buildings in Deep Ellum will give way to high-rise with apartments and shopping Project Location Construction will start in the next few weeks on an urban style mixed-use development in Dallas' popular Deep Ellum district. The 7-story development will bring apartments and streetfront retail to an area that's seeing widespread new development. "I think there is an opportunity to bring some basic neighborhood services there," Blackwell said. Designed by Baltimore architect Hord Coplan Macht, the building mimics early 20th century industrial and commercial properties. Blackwell said the project — called Novel Deep Ellum — "borrowed from Deep Ellum's Continental Gin buildings and Henry Ford's Model T plant a block away. "It's appropriately gritty for Deep Ellum." The new complex will include 230 apartments and 10,000 square feet of retail space. Access to the interior of the development would be through an open area in the middle of the block, providing easy access to the rest of the shops. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Dallas, Austin are among 20 finalists for Amazon's coveted HQ2 Two Texas metro areas made it on Amazon's list: Austin, a perennial favorite and the home of Whole Foods Market, which Amazon now owns. And yes, Big D. Houston didn't make the cut, and San Antonio didn't enter the competition. Both Austin and Dallas "have proven themselves to be among the most sought-after locations for companies looking to grow and thrive," Abbott said. He said the state's "low-tax and limited-regulation environment will appeal to a company's bottom line." Abbott also noted the state's workforce, calling it "one of the best — if not the best" in the country. Abbott played no favorites and said he believed "either Austin or Dallas" is an ideal fit for Amazon. While other cities are naming big rewards to attract HQ2, Texas is still keeping specific financial incentives secret. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 New Knox Street district apartment plans include affordable units Project Location Developer Alliance Residential plans to build the 335-unit project on a 2-acre site at Cole and Armstrong avenues. It's just across the street from the 17-story Highland Park Place office tower. And the new Trader Joe's grocery and apartment block is on the opposite corner. "This will definitely will be the most high-profile location we have done," said Alliance development director Nick Wilhelmson. "It's one of the best neighborhoods in Dallas." Dallas architect GFF designed the new rental community with seven levels stepping back from the street across from the office tower on the north side. The building will be five levels at the other end near Oliver Street. "We want to open up the sidewalks and make it feel walkable," Wilhelmson said. "We have two large courtyards off the sidewalk, too," he said. "There is no ground floor retail — it's pure residential." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Apartments, live theater planned for former Bishop Arts medical building Project Location A developer plans to reuse a medical building in the Bishop Arts area as part of a 135-unit residential complex. The five-story former hospital is on the east side of Madison between Ninth and Tenth. It consists of two buildings, which are connected by a skybridge, and the developer plans to construct an additional building on the north side of the hospital. A zoning variance is required for the developers to reuse the existing skybridge, zoned for medical use over the alley between Ninth and Tenth, for residential purposes. The main building has a 5,000-square-foot basement, which they’re planning to turn into an actual theater, to be leased to a theater company for live plays. “We want to make it look old-world as much as we can. The project is a unique opportunity,” he says. “We’re designing it to look like an old theater that was converted to apartments.” The first apartments could be delivered in late spring or early summer 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Grateful the developers worked to preserve the main building. Plans for former Dallas ISD Ross campus show new apartment community Project Location Developers who are knocking down parts of the former Dallas Independent School District campus on Ross Avenue are saving the central building. "We're planning to incorporate the interior core of the original building into our leasing office and amenity area," Leon Capital Group managing director David Cocanougher said in a statement. "The balance of the architecture of the new construction will be set back from the existing structure to increase the prominence of the preserved component. "It also incorporates design that blends the style of the existing structure with the ongoing transformation occurring along Ross Avenue." In December, Leon Capital filed plans with the city showing the preservation of the central building at the DISD complex, which dates to the 1950s and was added onto and remodeled for decades. The 2-story mid-century modern building is the most recognizable among the hodge-podge of structures built on the site. Leon Capital began knocking down parts of the campus this weekend. The developer plans to start construction this summer on a 4-acre luxury rental community it's calling "The Academic." The developer said it worked with the Dallas Landmark Commission to "identify the most historically relevant aspects of the existing building and to incorporate them into the design. "As a result, Leon Capital will preserve the main entrance facade and structure of the original building and make it a fully functional aspect of the development," the builder said in a statement.

Sic'EmBears Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 New apartments will replace bit of old England in Northwest Dallas Project Location A new rental community on Northwest Highway is going on up the site of a storied Dallas apartment community. The recently demolished Sherwood Forest apartments were built in the 1960s in faux historic architecture with an old England theme. Apartment builder Trinsic Residential Group knocked down the old rental units with their turrets and half-timbered gables and is putting up a modern apartment project, to be called Aura Bluffview. The new project will have 473 apartments and townhomes designed by Dallas architect GFF. "We sold off about 3 acres to Green Brick to build for-sale single family homes," said Trinsic Residential's Adam Brown. Green Brick Partner's Centre Living Homes is one of Dallas' busiest townhome builders with projects throughout the city. Brown said Trinsic's first apartment units on Northwest Highway will be ready late this year.

Sic'EmBears Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ride the 50-mile urban bike trail as soon as 2021 The Dallas Circuit Trail, also known as The Loop, will cost $56 million and make critical connections in Dallas’ fragmented bike trails. When those are finished, it will create a 50-mile loop that touches all 14 Dallas City Council district. Real estate executive Jeff Ellerman and oilman Larry Dale came up with the idea because they were frustrated by the city’s trails-to-nowhere. They created the Circuit Trail Conservancy and raised $10 million in private donations, plus millions more from Dallas County and the Regional Transportation Council. “We’re hard at work on the design component of The Loop,” Ellerman says. A final design is expected in a year, and the whole project is expected to take up to three-and-a-half years, Ellerman says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dallas to get money to extend Bishop Arts streetcar to downtown Omni Hotel HDR Inc. Dallas will soon have the money to send its streetcar to the front doors of the downtown Omni Hotel. The City Council is scheduled to vote Wednesday to accept $8 million in state funds to complete a long-planned streetcar extension. The money is left over from the McKinney Avenue trolley extension and the Dallas streetcar's construction. Currently, the Oak Cliff streetcar runs from the Bishop Arts District to Union Station. City officials hope to break ground on the latest streetcar extension within about a year and hope to cut the ribbon sometime in the summer of 2019. Eventually, the streetcar line would link to the new $92 million line that is likely to run on Elm and Commerce streets downtown. That project is scheduled to be completed by 2023 and will link the Oak Cliff streetcar and the McKinney Avenue trolley. "We know there's demand," Garrett said. "That's just giving conventioners and visitors one more option." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Big plans for a nearly untouched part of downtown: New gateway to Deep Ellum? Downtown Dallas' sleepy east side getting major upgrades Shawn Todd thinks this forgotten corner of downtown can be Dallas' next reborn neighborhood. He's heading a partnership that's buying about two dozen buildings and land to create a retail and office project that will cater to business entrepreneurs and creative and tech companies. "We view these buildings as true gems," he said. "We want to preserve these buildings and compliment it with new development." Todd — whose credits include renovation of downtown's historic Post Office and redevelopment of the I.M. Pei-designed One Dallas Center — plans to remodel and repurpose buildings that once housed auto dealerships, parts warehouses and the like. Included in his pending acquisition is the pie-shaped Magnolia Oil building at Jackson and Chavez that during the 1960s and 1970s housed radio station KLIF. Across the street, he's buying the old Cadillac showroom that still has the automaker's emblem etched into the floor. In all, Todd Interests is buying some 200,000 square feet of buildings — about 40,000 square feet of which is occupied. "We are buying 22 buildings from four different owners," Todd said. Both preservationists and downtown economic development groups are encouraged by Todd's plans. "This is one of the most remarkable collections of historic buildings in downtown," said Katherine Seale, chair of Dallas' Landmark Commission. "We are fortunate to have a developer amass this type of collection," Seale said. "This is going to be a game changer for the eastern end of downtown." "You have a developer that understands the vision and the value and character of this neighborhood." Todd Interests is putting together a team to tackle the project. He's partnered with Dallas top chef and restaurateur Nick Badovinus to redevelop the Magnolia Oil/KLIF building with a signature restaurant. Award-winning Dallas architect Omniplan is working on designs for the district along with landscape architects SWA Group. The buildings will be remodeled for office and retail space — no residential. The developers hope to kick off the project immediately and bring the buildings online before the end of this year. "We think this is a five-year project," Todd said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 New 309-apartment project planned for Katy Trail condo site in Uptown Project Location Builder Lincoln Property wants to construct a 309-unit rental community along Carlisle Street in Uptown. The apartments would replace an aging condo complex on the site between Hall and Bowen streets. But first Lincoln Property will have to get zoning changes for five- and six-story project. In return for the taller buildings, Hunt said the developers are offering to build new public connections to the Katy Trail, bury power lines and set the buildings back from the popular pedestrian trail. Lincoln's Katy Trail project still faces opposition, especially from neighbors worried about increases in traffic. The Friends of the Katy Trail group recently withdrew its support for the project, Hunt said. The organization previously had written a letter in support of the development, she said. Hunt said the buildings would be a minimum of 35 feet away from the trail — farther back than other apartments recently built along the Katy Trail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
