Sic'EmBears Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Developer eyes new high-rise residences for Dallas' popular West Village Steve Brown September 6, 2016 Quote One of the first apartment projects built in what is now Uptown is being considered for redevelopment. The Gables Turtle Creek rental community at Cole and Lemmon avenues was built in 1994 and is across the street from the popular West Village retail complex. Quote Developer Gables Residential wants to start tearing down its 22-year-old apartments to replace part of the complex with taller construction. Quote "Currently the site is entitled for 378 units," she said. Quote Gables is asking for city approval to build a tower of about 20 stories on part of the 7-acre site. The block fronting Blackburn Street would remain low-rise construction. "It's zoned for residential, and we'd be happy to keep it that way or go mixed-use if that's what the community wants," Slade said. "Phase one of our redevelopment would be along Lemmon, where there is heavier traffic." Gables has already begun meetings with residents in the area and is talking with potential architects.

The block fronting Blackburn Street would remain low-rise construction. Another high rise is cool but Im tired of these 20 story squatters. Theyve built so many of them you'd think they'd come together and build something at least 30 stories for this Cityplace area. Heck, Cityplace tower is 42 stories/560ft you'd think the FAA would at least allow a 400footer right there. Re-zone the area. Tower must be AT LEAST 30 stories.

Sic'EmBears Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Dallas Midtown's 20-acre focal point begins to take shape Candace Carlisle September 6, 2016 Quote The proposed centerpiece of the Dallas Midtown evolution will be unveiled at a town hall meeting next week. This 20-acre focal point will tie in the rest of Dallas Midtown and could be a big draw to investors, developers and companies, said Bruce Bradford, president and CEO of the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce. Quote MIG, a placemaking firm based in Berkeley, Calif., conducted the three-month study on Dallas Midtown. Bradford declined to disclose the cost of the study, but said, "We got far more bang for the buck than the bucks we paid." This study takes the proposed 20-acre park to the next level to anchor the Dallas Midtown site, which is a 40-block, 430-acre mixed-use development bounded by the Dallas North Tollway, LBJ Expressway, North Central Expressway and Spring Valley Road in North Dallas. Quote Other developers and investors are also eyeing Dallas Midtown, though Bradford declined to mention the names of would-be stakeholders. To be built, Bradford said philanthropic dollars would likely need to be raised to develop the park in partnership with an earmarked $36 million in tax increment financing funds designated for public infrastructure. He said Dallas' philanthropic nature could mean there would be enough money for the Dallas Midtown park and the proposed extension of Klyde Warren Park. Quote Beck plans to begin the tear down of Valley View Center by the end of the year. The developer has done some environmental remediation and pre-demolition work in preparation for the demolition. MIG CEO Daniel Iacofano will unveil conceptual renderings of the new Dallas Midtown park and speak to the community on Thursday, Sept. 15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at a ballroom within the Westin Galleria Dallas hotel in North Dallas.

"As a Dallas landmark and international destination, it will help reflect the movement to understand more about our food and where it comes from. A Tasteful Place will provide the opportunity for visitors to talk about resources and learn urban gardening firsthand with both modern methods and sustainable practices."

Sic'EmBears Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Luxury office tower in Harwood District to begin soon Candace Carlisle September 7, 2016 Quote After months of planning, Dallas-based developer Harwood International plans to begin construction on its newest luxury office tower. The 22-story, 226,778-square-foot office tower, called No. 10 Harwood, at 2850 N. Harwood St. in the Dallas is expected to get underway Thursday morning with an official groundbreaking ceremony. Quote During the planning, Harwood executive Jihane Boury, who oversees the developer's leasing efforts, said the firm would like to have about 65,000 square feet of the building pre-leased by a corporate tenant before beginning construction, which could mean Harwood could feel bullish on its chances to snag a key tenant. Quote The ground floor of the tower will have more than 9,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space with adjacent gardens and outdoor seating. The gardens will continue up the building to the 10th floor with 17,214 square feet of green roof terraces, as well as a 10,485-square-foot boutique office penthouse with two private green roof gardens. Last we spoke to Harwood about this project, the developer was looking for a restaurant partner for a ground-level concept within the tower.

Sic'EmBears Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Northwest Highway project one of the largest new retail centers planned in Dallas Steve Brown September 9, 2016 Quote Demolition crews have cleared a high-profile property in Northeast Dallas to make way for a major retail project. The 275,000-square-foot High Point Crossing shopping center is to be built on the site of the old Steakley Chevrolet dealership on Northwest Highway at Abrams Road. Quote Preliminary designs being marketed by commercial real estate firm CBRE/UCR show a two-level, urban-style retail center with garages and room for a dozen retailers. The stores will be in a central complex and in two freestanding buildings along Northwest Highway. That makes High Point Crossing one of the largest new shopping centers in the works in Dallas. CBRE senior vice president Jeff Kittleson said construction could start next year. "Preleasing with retailers takes some time," Kittleson said. "But this is the vision we are working on." Quote About 8.5 percent of the area's retail space is empty — the lowest vacancy in more than 30 years. Full Article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Exclusive: Dallas group ready $85M project on city's Pacific Plaza Park Candace Carlisle September 9, 2016 Quote A Dallas development group says it's ready to move forward with the project to transform Pacific Plaza in downtown into a lush park above a seven-story, below-grade parking garage. Dallas-based 4P Partners LLC plans to ask the city of Dallas to approve a lease on Pacific Plaza, currently a 3.46-acre surface parking lot , to make way for a proposed $85 million development. It will bring a programmed park (much like Klyde Warren Park) with an adjacent restaurant and retail space, as well as a food truck courtyard at no cost to the city. Quote The closure of Live Oak Street between Harwood Street and St. Paul Street also will be discussed at the meeting. Quote "Dallas is under extreme budget pressure with a lot of people looking for city money," Lusk told the Dallas Business Journal in an exclusive interview. "We aren't asking for TIF money or for the city to pay for the maintenance of the park. It's a very solid gift to the city." The estimated annual cost of maintaining the future park is $600,000, which Lusk says will be paid for through revenue generated at the park. It includes would-be leases for a restaurant and grocery space developed on what is now Aston Park, which sits adjacent to Pacific Plaza. The closure of Live Oak Street would help connect the two pieces of city park land and bring a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare into the park, which was designed to resemble Bryant Park in New York with a large activities lawn designed by Kevin Sloan Studio in Oak Cliff. Quote Construction could begin as soon as the end of this year if the lease is approved this month, and could take an estimated 30 months to complete the proposed development.
