kdog08 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Interesting, it seems all three of these, especially two, will be relatively small, but I guess on three separate blocks, or just two?It's on three separate blocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarface Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 why does it seem like its pulling teeth to get ground level retail in Midtown. They only build these luxury condos and apartments with no special walkable amentites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 why does it seem like its pulling teeth to get ground level retail in Midtown. They only build these luxury condos and apartments with no special walkable amentites.First and foremost, retail rents in Midtown kind of suck. Also: operating costs on mixed-use projects are slightly higher; the tight spacial layout can make receiving of shipments or output of trash a chore; and specialist developers of apartments or retail aren't comfortable with the other land uses.

ricco67 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 And it all started with a cell phone tower you have to admit, the place is going to have totally awesome coverage, depending on what service you use. Overall, I think they did quite well building around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree - even sans retail I think the place is an improvement nonetheless...now if the rent was just "slightly" lower I could move in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPHous Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Design district in Dallas is just west of i-35 and is pretty much just 2 streets, Oak Lawn and Hi-Line. There are a bunch of furniture shops, interior decorating type things, and some people have art shops in there. I has a kind of weird feel IMO. The buildings are all warehouse-esque and basically the same thing over and over again. Hi-line is a blvd where most of these shops are.
