Sic'EmBears Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dallas Holocaust Museum to begin capital campaign to build new museum Candace Carlisle October 20, 2016 Quote The Dallas Holocaust Museum and Center for Education and Tolerance plans to kick off a large capital campaign to fund a new museum in downtown Dallas next week. Quote "We wanted this to be an engaging facility," Scott Hall, principal and director of design for Dallas-based Omniplan, told the DBJ in 2015. "We want to share a very personal story that gets people's attention and shows you the real people impacted by the Holocaust." The design of the new facility — which could find a permanent home in the West End, across from the museum's current location — will help create a narrative that shows the journey of the many who experienced the Holocaust, he said. The U-shaped building will include an exhibition area that turns into a reflective area in the courtyard outside the museum in the neighborhood bounded by Ross Avenue, Houston Street and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit light. The building will include an approved metal for the West End, which will set it apart from the other buildings in the neighborhood that are primarily brick, Hall said. Quote The museum also plans to unveil new renderings of the facility next week.

Sic'EmBears Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Another potential relocation to Downtown: Goldman Sachs shops downtown Dallas for move that could bring hundreds of workers Steve Brown October 25, 2016 Quote Goldman Sachs & Co. is in talks with building owners to relocate hundreds of workers from an office in Irving to downtown, real estate brokers who are tracking the deal say. The New York-based investment giant is planning to rent more than 100,000 square feet of prime downtown office space in what could be one of the largest recent deals in the area. Goldman Sachs has zeroed in on the 50-story Trammell Crow Center on Ross Avenue as a location for the office. Quote The landmark downtown skyscraper is about to undergo a major renovation that includes adding retail space and construction of additional parking across the street. Quote If the relocation happens it would also be one of the biggest such moves to downtown with the potential for more than 500 new jobs. "That size lease would make an enormous difference downtown in perception and reality, particularly based on who the tenant is," said John Crawford with the economic development group Downtown Dallas Inc.

I know there is a Steve Brown column out there that says it is 40 stories, but Steve let his cheer-leading get ahead of the facts. The tech drawings indeed show a "Level 40", but that is because there is no Level 13. Hence, the building is still slated to be 39 stories. On what basis do you make the claim that AMLI is highly probably [sic] to get the go ahead? At the last report I am aware of, they had not even bought the property. At this point your 40 story AMLI tower is little more than a rumor pumped by Steve Brown and nothing more has been heard since June. Be sure to let us know when there is a 40 story building under construction in Dallas. But please check your facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 $50M gift from Simmons family makes way for Dallas' new Trinity River park Candace Carlisle October 31, 2016 Quote Annette Simmons, in honor of her late husband Harold Simmons, announced Monday she has donated $50 million to The Trinity Trust and for the benefit of Dallas to build a new Trinity River park. This is the park's largest single gift of its kind from a private donor. The gift launches the initial phase of development and construction on the 285-acre park, which could become one of America's greatest urban parks. Quote "This gift will begin the creation of a great public space in our city that will be a place to gather, to enjoy nature and promote health and well-being," she said. "I cannot think of a more lasting and meaningful way to honor Harold's memory and legacy." With the donation — and with city council approval — the park will be named The Harold Simmons Park. Quote The funds needed to build the remainder of the park could be raised over the next few years. The park also will be operated as a private entity with the help of The Trinity Trust until an entity is established to oversee and manage it. The Simmons' donation will be used to further the design of the conceptual renderings and fund the construction of the park near downtown Dallas. The concept plans include putting pathways and trails along the natural river landscape with sites for five elevated parks that will extend from inside the levees into the adjacent communities. Quote "My hope is that in the near future we can begin a series of public input meetings to start building out the design of the park," he said. "By next year, we want to be building America's next great urban park." Full Article 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Developer eyes hotel tower for Uptown site near Maple Avenue Steve Brown November 1, 2016 Quote Alamo Manhattan Corp. proposes to build a hotel - not more apartments - on a half-block site off Maple Avenue near Turtle Creek. The 19-story, 220-room hotel would sit on a site now occupied mostly by a condominium complex. "It's a great opportunity for a full-service hotel," said Alamo Manhattan CEO Matt Segrest. "Everybody loves Uptown and there is a demand for this hotel. "We are looking for something different with this project." Quote He said the hotel would be created using Marriott's new luxury modern design program. WDG Architecture designed the brick and glass building, which will include a ground floor restaurant and about 12,500 square feet of meeting space. "Our sweet spot is the professional business traveller," Segrest said. "One thing Uptown is lacking is good meeting space - the demand is huge." To build the hotel Alamo Manhattan must obtain increased development density from the city. Segrest said the firm is starting to meet with neighborhood groups and city planners about the project. If everything goes as planned, construction would start in 2018 with an almost 2-year building period. Full Article Project location 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners already converted a 19th-century firehouse in Austin into a hostel three years ago. "We really want to reflect the culture of Deep Ellum and highlight the unique history," co-owner Collin Ballard says. "It's always been a melting pot." The building itself is part of Deep Ellum's history. Built sometime between 1901 and 1911, 2801 Elm is on the National Register of Historical Places. According to a record of tenants, it was home to a saloon back in 1911 and a syrup manufacturer in 1922. By 1938, the building was an auto repair shop called the Long Machine Tool Company. Quote The original old-world charms inside, which include wooden ceilings and exposed brick, will be highlighted. The exterior will be changed as little as possible, Ballard says. Quote Deep Ellum Hostel will also include a restaurant and lounge, the owners say.

Sic'EmBears Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) The former Cabana Motor Hotel is under contract (again) but this time to a hotel developer (Vintage Cabana Motor Hotel, Candy's Dirt) Quote Instead of converting the 10-story, 357-room hotel at 899 N. Stemmons Freeway into a data center or retaining it as a possible county detention center, Dallas-based Circa Capital Corp. has put the mid-century modern hotel under contract and begun its due diligence to convert it back into a hotel. "We have it under contract and we are doing our due diligence," Fred Aldridge III, president and CEO of Circa Capital, told the Dallas Business Journal."We are enthusiastic about where we are." Quote And, he said, the firm could always convert into a boutique hotel without a typical hotel flag. If all goes well, Aldridge said the firm could buy the building by the end of the year. The former Cabana Motor Hotel was originally built by developer Jay Sarno as a luxury hotel for $6 million. History: 1963: The Cabana Motor Hotel opens with the help of an investment from Doris Day. In June, Jimmy Hoffa stays at the hotel and holds a press conference and reception. 1964: The Beatles occupy the entire 9th floor in September when they were in Dallas to play the City Auditorium. 1969: The hotel sells to Hyatt House for $4.35 million and becomes the Hyatt House Hotel. In April, Jimi Hendrix stays at the hotel while he's in Dallas. 1970: Led Zeppelin stays at the hotel. 1984: Dallas County buys the hotel for $9.2 million and converts it into a minimum-security jail, which opens in 1987. 2005: The property provides temporary housing during Hurricane Katrina and Rita. 2015: Lincoln Property announces plans to demolish the building and construct a data center on the site.

Sic'EmBears Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Deep faith: Deep Ellum update brings more restaurants, bars, hope Quote Following an impromptu tour of a new restaurant-filled project in Deep Ellum, developer Chuck Hixson dropped subtle hints that he's ready to move beyond the neighborhood's spotty history. Quote The project, Westdale's 2800 Deep Ellum, represents a mixture of city funds, developer determination, and neighborhood resilience as the community east of downtown Dallas labors toward its latest rebirth. "We are surrounded by success," said Hixson, noting the burst of development in downtown and East Dallas. "And there will be success in this location as well. We think it's going to be successful in the future because of the new things that are happening and the [nearby] mass employment base. Quote The development, which is still in its formative stage, carved nine new spaces from five existing buildings, some of them 80 years old. All are in the 2800 block of either Elm or Main streets near the corner of Malcolm X Boulevard. The total project measures 30,000 square feet. Seven spaces already have been leased to barkeeps and restaurateurs including Cindy and Jim Hughes, owners of the popular Bread Winners chain. Opening soon: Hide Bar (2816 Elm Street) Harlowe MXM (2823 Main Street) Baker and Company (2820 Elm Street) Idlerye (2826 Elm Street) Quote Hixson estimates the total cost of the project at more than $8 million, not counting funds each restaurant operator will spend to get their locations ready for showtime.

Sic'EmBears Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Bike lanes, trail extension planned in Stevens Park area Quote A big developer recently announced plans to redevelop a 12-acre site on Fort Worth Avenue at Plymouth, and the city wants to spiffy up the streets, sidewalks and bike lanes in that area. Recommended enhancements include extending the bike lanes on Fort Worth Avenue, which now end at Edgefield, across Hampton all the way to Bahama Drive. The bike lanes would be physically separated from traffic, although the means of separation haven’t been determined, according to City Councilman Scott Griggs. Bike lanes also would be installed on Bahama Drive, from Fort Worth Avenue to Plymouth. That stretch of Bahama also would get wide sidewalks. The Coombs Creek Trail, which extends through Kessler Park to Plymouth and Hampton, would be extended to Bahama, and that would include bridge work. Finally, there are plans to improve the intersections, including crosswalks, ramp and curb reconstruction, pedestrian crossing signals and short bike lane extensions into neighborhoods.

Quote Dallas has more of these projects than anywhere else in Texas, with 23 developments since 2002 totaling almost $371 million in value, the study found. Some of the biggest historic preservation projects that included the tax credits were the Fidelity Union Life Tower (now Mosaic apartments) at $86 million, the Davis Building at $28.9 million and the Continental Building at $37 million. Some major Dallas preservation developments haven't even made the list yet, including the LTV Tower, Statler Hotel and the former First National Bank tower redo. After Dallas, Houston had the second-most historic credit projects with 13 developments. Fort Worth and San Antonio were tied with a dozen each. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
