Sic'EmBears Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Can little apartments fit urban Big D lifestyle? Historic hotel hopes so Steve Brown June 30, 2016   Quote The Ambassador opened in 1905 as the Majestic Hotel, and was touted as the city's "first suburban luxury hotel." Quote  The 111-year-old Ambassador Hotel just south of downtown Dallas was bought last year by a partnership headed by local real estate developer and investor Jim Lake Jr.  Lake plans to convert the one-time luxury hotel overlooking the downtown skyline into about 100 apartments that range from 340 to 650 square feet in size. The average will be less than 500 square feet.  Quote  The average new apartment being constructed in North Texas runs about 965 square feet, according to the latest numbers from analyst MPF Research.  And those new apartments have an average citywide rent of almost $1,450 a month.  Lake said his apartments in the Ambassador Hotel will start at less than $1,000.  "It's a more affordable product than what you see in Uptown," said architect David Farrell, who is working with Lake to redo the six-story hotel building.  Most of the apartments will fit inside the building's original hotel rooms, with a few expansions for kitchens.  Quote  Lake said part of the ground floor of the Ambassador -- where many of the original lobby features survive -- will be used for restaurant, retail and event space.  He's looking at a rooftop deck and a swimming pool on the ground floor.   Full Article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Exclusive: Goff, Crescent Real Estate buy luxury Uptown hotel; $30M in upgrades planned Candace Carlisle July 5, 2016   Quote Billionaire John Goff and Fort Worth-based Crescent Real Estate LLC has closed on one of Dallas' ultra-luxurious hotels in Uptown, with plans to spend $30 million in upgrades. Quote  The real estate magnate and Crescent acquired the Rosewood Crescent hotel through a recently established invitation-only real estate fund, called GP Invitation Fund I, with an investment capacity of $4 billion.  "Hotel Crescent Court is a timeless and iconic asset in the best location in Dallas," said Goff in a written statement. "I believe this is a very unique opportunity — one of which I have a personal passion."  This is a return home for Goff, a longtime Uptown developer that was previously an owner of the hotel in the early 1990s. As part of the ownership group's return, the new ownership group plans to return the hotel to its historic name, Hotel Crescent Court.  Hotel Crescent Court anchors The Crescent, an 11-acre mixed-use development in Uptown that is in the midst of its own $33 million transformation.  Quote   The development includes the 220-room hotel (29 of which are suites), Nobu restaurant and a 22,000-square-foot space. Hotel Crescent Court also include The Crescent Club.  The $30 million in upgrades is planned to include renovations to guest rooms, meeting and banquet spaces, the spa and to improve the hotel's customer service. Dallas-based waldrop+nichols studio is the project's interior designer.  Upon completion, Goff said the Hotel Crescent Court will offer the amenities of a newly built hotel with the classic design associated with the Texas landmark.   Full Article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 2000 Ross Avenue / Trammell Crow Center renovation update: * Renderings were originally found and posted by myself on another forum  City-block project on Ross Avenue on track to get underway soon in downtown Dallas Candace Carlisle July 7, 2016   Quote A city-block development project meant to transform downtown Dallas' Ross Avenue adjacent to Trammell Crow Center is on track to get underway by early 2017, with plans to unveil the design of an upscale boutique hotel, ground-floor retail and an apartment tower this fall. Quote  Stream Realty is the master developer of the project on behalf of the ownership group 2000 Ross Avenue LP out of New York, which is a fund advised by JP Morgan Chase.  By developing 32,000 square feet of new space for restaurants and retailers, March said there's an opportunity to transform the Ross Avenue corridor. Plans for the ground-up development includes a 200-key upscale boutique hotel and a 350-unit apartment tower with each tower sitting on a podium of 2,600-stall parking garage and the retail space.  The hotel developer and residential developer have yet to be named, with an official announcement slated for this fall. HOK is the architect designing the ground-up project on the 2.6-acre tract.  The new mixed-use development is in the design process and is being dual-tracked with the renovations at Trammell Crow Center, a 1.2-million-square-foot office tower. Upon completion, Trammell Crow Center will have 10,000 square feet of added retail space to the ground floor of the building.  "This will be a real comprehensive renovation of Trammell Crow Center, which has never been altered in a meaningful way since its original design in the 1980s," March told me.  "We want to do something there and expect it to be a dramatic design intervention."  Construction on the dual-tracked projects — the tower renovation and ground-up development — is expected to begin in early 2017.  Dallas-based Retail Street Advisors' Aaron Stephenson and John Giesler have already begun marketing the retail space to potential tenants.   Full Article 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
