arche_757 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I know Gillette is the thru street… it would have been a boon for this development (and area) if the developers could have bought the land all the way to West Dallas. I wonder if there is any long term thinking on possibly buying that last parcel(s)? Perhaps a little more mixed used will continue to inch along on West Dallas in the next few years?

They own all the land available all the way to the apartments Tinsely on the Park. which front West Dallas. Tinsley on the Park was built within the last decade I believe so I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I realize these are newer apartments and it is highly unlikely these will be torn down and redeveloped. My point was it would have been better for development of this project to continue all the way to West Dallas. I’m just thinking out loud… Edited July 17, 2021 by arche_757 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Quote Does anyone know what is happening with the Pavilion? It seems like there's been little to no construction progress there for some time. there are 3 items that are wreaking havoc on construction schedules right now: mineral wool insulation, metal decking, and roof insulation. Looks like they need all 3 on the little building.... My guess is that they got pinched on schedule and will get to it when they get their materials. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can always look at it somewhat philosophically. People are going to hate something, it seems to be in our DNA. Hating buildings is fairly harmless. I can't stand the Tour Montparnesse in Paris due to its location, but still love Paris. One can adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 it forces one to find a new angle to enjoy.
