Not sure if this has been mentioned (haven't seen it here), but Rich's is re-opening at 2401 San Jacinto this summer.
Wonderful

The former Mia Bella place I hope gets a tenant soon because if the plumbing/electrical issue really is a nightmare then I would hate for the city to find a reason to lose this place all together.

Interesting
I wonder how much they can handle? Looks like they have a widely distributed system
The only thing I wish that building would do is updgrade the sidewalks. Those things look hideous downtown.

No I'm speaking more on if it affects his ability to even look over any lawsuits filed. Like how does this effect him being able to do his job?

Feds file fraud charges against Ken Paxton
Not sure how big of an impact this has on anything but curious if anyone knows.

^^^ oh no my pal j_cuevas713, should it began construction immediately, then all of the construction apparatus shall be in the way of all dallas street patrons for the forthcoming SUPERBOWL LI. that particular street shall need to be completed, cleaned, and cleared leading up to the big downtown event....
I feel like I just read a verse from the Bible. But yes you are right Monarch. I mean but still, I think it would look good to visitors for them to see construction.

My problem with this development has always been the location. If it was in downtown, or on that light rail line (as in the train passed in front of the building and you stare down at the station from your loft) then I would already have a deposit down. As is, I find it hard to justify buying the small space where I'd still have to walk 1/2 a mile to the train or drive to places. It is the most affordable places for sale in downtown, but still - this would have been perfect where the Days Inn is, or even across the street from the new high school. I hope that this is just the first of a few of these developments, and one will go in downtown, and the med center.
Why couldn't you just take the bus and transfer? Any rail system is simply a compliment to its bus system. I'm sure you could still use public transportation and not have to use your car.
The good thing about the location is it will force development in this area even more. So while I agree that this would be nice downtown, I think in order to speed up the process this is what's needed.

Doesn't look like this is gonna happen guys. The original sign that was on either corner of the block with the revised rendering has been taken down. There are new signs that say RETAIL SPACE FOR LEASE on the half block where that Vietnamese restaurant was.

What would be awesome is if both lots were filled with residential, that would def make up for demoing this building.

I really hate seeing this building go... I'm actually right next to it now... I mean we will have a crater on this side of DT... right next to the massive Chase tower... idk, just hope something replaces one of these lots soon because this is depressing... you have a boom and to replace all the great construction you have Skanska build a garage and the Chronicle building coming down.

Be a little hard for the City to develop that as a grid, given the property was privately owned for the most part. Unless you think it's OK for the City to force a developer to put in a grid, rather than what the developer thinks will actually sell.
No I'm not saying that nor am I saying it needs to be a grid. What I am saying is that when the city approves a particular development, they need to fully consider how it interacts with pedestrians. And unless the developer can meet those needs, then the project should be postponed, etc. The problem is every project is approved. Developers seem to run this city and the city does little to create a standard for development.

Does the city build or maintain any sidewalks? Around my house they've all been built by homeowners or businesses. The only time you get new or updated sidewalks is when the city forces a developer to build them.
Yeah I know but the city pump so much money downtown and then neglects the neighborhoods around it. Why doesn't the city just take over all infrastructure. If business owners have to create their own sidewalk, then all you're gonna get is a bunch of patchwork sidewalks trying to fit together.

It's largely because there's nowhere to walk from. As these large tracts became available, starting with the Target several years ago, instead of extending the street grid into these formerly industrial areas, they were/are being developed as standalone big-box centers.
Imagine what kind of neighborhood would emerge if the entire area bound by Houston Ave, I-10, Studemont and Washington was laid out as a street grid with lots (of various sizes) sold off piecemeal, some for retail, some for multifamily, some for single family. You'd have a walkable neighborhood (with a built-in transit right-of-way) within minutes of downtown. Instead we'll get 4-6 large commercial developments, each with their own large surface parking lot.
And I totally get that, but even if an area is not on a grid, why can't the city at least develop it to meet the needs of the average walker?

I think they'll have to change something for Super Bowl because this weekend has shown that we've already outgrown DG for larger events like this. It was nuts Downtown and really cool... but they maxed out capacity quickly. Perhaps multiple stages around town is the solution?
I say an other stage a Buffalo Bayou Park. Force people to check out that side and they will flood Montrose, etc

Thank goodness, cause that thing is horrendous. Good to see a change.

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
in Midtown

I hope not. That Art Supply store has some character and it would be nice to have that in Midtown permanently.
