    Dallas-Fort Worth's fast-growing economy has made it the hottest office market in the country.

     

    During the first nine months of 2016, the area led the country in net office leasing with 3.6 million square feet of transactions, according to commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield.

     

    D-FW was second in office construction to New York, with almost 8 million square feet of buildings under construction.

     

    Along with North Texas, office construction is highest in Midtown Manhattan (9.5 million square feet), Silicon Valley (6.3 million square feet) and Seattle (4.6 million square feet).

     

    North Texas' office market has continued to grow this year while other U.S. cities have seen a slowdown.

  5. One huge step towards DART's downtown subway line:

     

    Our civic engagement made a difference. Today—in a dramatic reversal—the Dallas City Council voted unanimously for a resolution that not only called for D2 to be a subway, but established the D2 subway as the city's highest transportation priority, in addition to improved bus service for our most transit-dependent riders and the Dallas Streetcar. That’s right—

    14 council members switched their support from a surface line to a subway.

     

    For more info, register at a Coalition For A New Dallas.

     

    Also, D Mag published a thought-provoking article stressing the importance of the D2 subway line. Read it here.

    United Arab Emirates-based Etihad Airways is expanding its presence at DFW International Airport, with plans to add four more weekly flights starting next year.

     

    The airline plans to begin offering daily flights from DFW to its hub in Abu Dhabi on Feb. 2. Since entering the DFW market in 2014, Etihad has offered nonstop flights to Abu Dhabi three days a week — Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

     

    “Since launching our Dallas/Fort Worth service less than two years ago, the response from our guests travelling between Dallas/Fort Worth and our home Abu Dhabi and beyond has exceeded expectations,” Etihad Aviation Group’s chief strategy and planning officer Kevin Knight said in a prepared statement.

    The airline flies 45 weekly flights to six American cities: Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth.

  8. DART seeks development partner for Mockingbird Station adjacent real estate

    Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is marketing its real estate to a potential development partner with the help of Cushman & Wakefield's Dallas office, the brokerage firm recently announced, for an 11-acre tract of contiguous land along the rail line at Mockingbird Station.

    Quote

     

    DART's executives have begun an initiative to build up the transit-oriented development on rail stations in North Texas, such as Irving's $1.5 billion proposed Hidden Ridge mixed-use development and Richardson's $1.5 billion CityLine development anchored by State Farm Insurance.

     

    The Mockingbird Station tract is especially attractive to real estate developers. Last year, a CBRE Global Investors fund acquired Mockingbird Station at the northeast corner of Mockingbird Lane and North Central Expressway in Dallas.

     

    Quote

    DART is looking for developers to propose an agreement that enhances the quality of life for pedestrians and residents, increase transit ridership and enhance the value of the DART-owned property.

    Quote

    "An aggressive marketing effort to seek developers for the designated areas at Mockingbird Station should provide us with creative solutions benefiting the community and the city, a public-private partnership collaboration and long term economic benefits for the agency," he added.

    Quote

     

    "Dallas is a strong real estate market, and we expect a lot of interest in this property because of its location, walkability and outstanding demographics," said Cooper, a senior managing director at Cushman & Wakefield.

     

    "To participate in the development of such a prominent high-barrier-to-entry site is a rare and exciting opportunity," she said.
