The law firm decided to lease two floors at PwC Tower at Park District totaling about 56,000 square feet of office space and building signage rights. Winston & Strawn, which was founded in Chicago, has been looking for a permanent home in Dallas since February, when the firm announced it had lured nearly two dozen prominent North Texas partners from eight different area firms to open the new office. A former federal prosecutor who is recognized as one of the leading trial lawyers in the nation, Melsheimer said this office could be one of the most successful law firms in Dallas. "There's a trend of law firms going to Uptown or on the north side of downtown Dallas as Uptown remains tight," said Puckett, an executive vice president in CBRE's Dallas office. The high-quality office buildings are attracting prestigious law firms wanting to build their brand and identity in Dallas, he added. "Dallas is such a major focus in the United States right now, with law firms wanting to brand their firms on the buildings in a tasteful manner; and we've never seen this in the past," he said 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Texas on tap for new U.S. Cricket stadium with help of JLL Dallas-Fort Worth could get another major sports team added to its roster as part of a $2.4 billion venture to launch another U.S. sports league, which would be the biggest pitch since Major League Soccer. Global Sports Ventures LLC, which announced it planned on establishing a professional cricket league in the United States, hired JLL's sports and entertainment group to find attractive development sites in eight U.S. cities, including Dallas-Fort Worth. If the sites are found, these cities could be home to a cricket-specific stadium and a mixed-use development as early as 2020. Dallas-Fort Worth will be a big contender for the planned Texas charter location. Other charter cities or regions include: New York, New Jersey, Florida, Washington, D.C., Georgia, Illinois and California. Upon its launch in 2020, the U.S. Cricket League plans to expand in four to six additional markets. The first eight stadiums and their surrounding developments are expected to cost Global Sports Ventures $2.4 billion and create 17,000 jobs. Each development could have a cricket stadium, club house, restaurants, hotels, retail, residential and office space. JLL's International Director David Demarest said the brokerage firm has already begun its site selection and is reviewing multiple sites within the targeted cities. The stadiums are expected to cost $70 million to $125 million, with ancillary costs of $80 million to $100 million for the mixed-use developments accompanying the cricket stadiums. 11 Alive 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The development would include sites for construction of townhouses, apartments, retail, office and hotels. A preliminary site plan shows that the retail and commercial construction would be concentrated at the south end of the property near I-20. Townhouses and apartments would be built at the north end of the heavily wooded tract near the DART light rail Blue Line. Centurion American's planned development is just southeast of the University of North Texas' southern Dallas campus and is adjacent to a DART commuter rail station. Homes in the project would be within walking distance of the transit line, according to city planners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 DFW places second, only behind NYC, in apartment delivery for 2017. Via Rent Cafe: Dallas-Fort Worth, the job-centric Texas mega-hub that has seen the largest population increases in the entire country, adding approx. 143K new residents from 2015 to 2016, is second when it comes to new apartment supply. No less than 25,000 new units are planned for completion this year, making Dallas even more desirable for renters who seek affordability and variety in their housing choices. The local rental market is relatively stable with rent growth at a moderate 3.5% y-o-y. Average rents in the Metroplex hover around $1,094, significantly lower than the national average and half of what New Yorkers shell out on rent on a monthly basis. Moreover, with a diverse economic sector and steady job growth, the employment picture is rock-solid in D-FW, so it’s no wonder young professionals are arriving in droves.

Sic'EmBears Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 New York-based shared office concept to put Texas hub in Arts District Hall Arts A New York-based shared office concept is bringing its first upscale coworking concept to the Dallas Arts District with the help of Dallas developer Craig Hall, who recently invested an undisclosed sum in the company. Along with being an investor, Hall will be the landlord for Serendipity Labs Coworking, which plans to open its 29,000-square-foot Texas hub on the 17th floor and ground floor of KPMG Plaza at Hall Arts. The hub-like office in the Dallas Arts District will serve as a launching pad for other Serendipity Labs Coworking offices in North Texas. Last year, the company announced plans to open nine locations in the region. "We think there is enough pent-up demand in Dallas-Fort Worth to justify eight really good locations," said Doug Denman, president of Worth Coworking. "We have begun looking at the markets we will want to be in." The 17th floor at KPMG Plaza will give Serendipity's initial North Texas location views throughout Dallas' skyline and will help solidify the coworking concept's upscale brand in the region, he added. Construction is slated to begin by the end of next month. Serendipity has yet to select a general contractor. Officials say they expect to be up and running for members by this November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Via DMN - DFW places second in North America data center absorption: Still, Bond said D-FW had Chicago beat by a metric that’s even more important than raw supply: absorption. That’s how much of that storage capacity is actually booked up by data tenants, or the companies that don’t want to house giant servers for all the information they need to run their businesses. And Bond said that as more and more data center ecosystems hit their stride, it’s a better indicator of how well-balanced regional markets are. D-FW’s absorption in the first half of 2017 was a 50 percent increase over the same time in 2016. “The story on Dallas is we have a great demand pipeline and the ease to build,” Bond said. Bond said that part of the reason D-FW is, in a way, playing catch-up to other markets is that its fast-growing business base is more diverse than Chicago’s, Northern Virginia’s or Northern California’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the proposed plans include: Convert the emergency room tower into a hotel to cater to the Medical District. A hotel flag has yet to be selected and a hotel study is being conducted to determine demand for rooms. Build small condos that can be sold at a price point ranging from the $200,000s to the $750,000s. Develop micro-unit apartments by combining two patient rooms into a 500-square-foot apartment that can be rented at a discount compared with Uptown rents. Retrofit rooms to offer a wide range of senior living capabilities from assisted living to memory care. Bring in a variety of amenities ranging from valet services, a high-end workout facility, eateries such as a 24-hour diner called Scrubs, a grocery store, high-end 7-Eleven store and other amenities doctors, nurses, patients and residents might need to stay in The District. Convert a two-story underground MRI facility into a parking facility to add up to 900 parking spaces to the campus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Oak Cliff's Wynnewood Village owner Brixmor plans upgrades for the 1940s shopping center Project Location Wynnewood was built in 1949, decades before enclosed malls were built. It was laid out like a village with one-story buildings and parking around the streets. A plan is taking shape to spend about $30 million to make the shopping center “more relevant to the community,” said Matthew Berger, president of the West division of Brixmor. "Their team has flown in three times in the last two months and we've had other conversations," Griggs said. "We welcome their vision and redesign. The addition of new tenants will benefit all of Oak Cliff and southern Dallas." He said it will take at least another 60 days before leases are signed, but said the prospective tenants are services that aren’t in the center now. Architectural renderings provided by Brixmor show a theater and a fitness center. “This is a project we’re ready to start tackling now,” Berger said. The core shopping center will get new landscaping, façade and parking areas, Berger said, and a section near an existing roundabout will be a new focal point of the shopping center. Brixmor is still working on plans, he said, but a second phase will include the large vacant field in the middle of the center where a Montgomery Ward store once stood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis lost the second most manufacturing jobs nationwide. And the county that lost the most? Harris County, home of Houston, which lost 19,000 manufacturing jobs. Dallas' neighbor to the west, Tarrant County, didn't fare well either, losing more than 2,000 manufacturing jobs last year.

Major League Lacrosse eyes Dallas for potential team as Cowboys' Star set to host championship game An expansion or relocation in Dallas would be a move toward bringing the game west, as seven of the league's nine teams are on the East Coast. "West is the direction we want to go," Ventresca said. And Dallas "checks all the boxes from the league's perspective." Gross said several groups are interested in owning a team in Dallas, but Jerry Jones' camp is not one of them. "The Cowboys will not be an owner," Gross said. "They’ve made it clear their focus is on the Cowboys, but they’re very supportive of what we’re trying to do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 New Dallas office tower on the way at Park Lane development on North Central Expressway The owners want to build an office tower with up to 11 floors and as much as 340,000 square feet of space. "The motivation behind this new building is we've seen serious upward movement in the rents in our existing offices," Spurgin said. "We think we'll garner significant interest with this building." Northwood hired architect Gensler to design the tower. The office tower would be one of the largest such developments along U.S. 75 in years.
