Quote The Walnut Hill Lane office tower, which was originally built in 1986, has undergone a number of renovations over the past several years, but Foundry Commercial plans to spend $4 million in capital improvements to upgrade and reposition the office building into a modern Class A tower. It is 83 percent occupied. Quote The North Central Expressway submarket has a vacancy rate of 12.9 percent, which is lower than the market average of 17.5 percent, according to CBRE's latest research.

Sic'EmBears Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 400 Record will garner an LED lighting system and a chef-driven restaurant Chef Bruno Davaillon, who's transferring from The Mansion Restaurant at Rosewood's Mansion on Turtle Creek, will lead the restaurant. Davaillon's prior experience includes the St. Regis Los Angeles. An inside look at City Electric Supply's new U.S. headquarters; transformation of 400 Record Candace Carlisle September 19, 2016 Quote A massive redevelopment is underway on the former Belo building at 400 S. Record St. — now called 400 Record— transforming the dated 17-story office tower in downtown Dallas into a modern workplace. The drive behind the transformation is coming from building owner Thomas Hartland-Mackie, who is CEO of City Electric Supply. This year, he brought the company's U.S. headquarters into the building. "We're elevating a great downtown building by bringing modern aesthetics and amenities to an already great location," said Hartland-Mackie, in a previous interview. Quote 400 Record is more than 60 percent occupied, with City Electric Supply's U.S. headquarters anchoring the 17-story office tower. The United Kingdom company's headquarters sits on five floors with about 65,000 square feet of space within the tower and oversees 418 retail locations throughout the United States. The corporate office includes a training center with classrooms and a mock-up store to train hundreds of U.S. City Electric Supply employees. The office also includes a store for employees in a stable-like setting that pays homage to the inception of the England-based company in 1953. Quote The transformation of the office tower, which sits near Union Station and the West End, will give 400 Record a new front door with a restaurant on the street level of Young Street. The restaurant concept is being conceived by Chef Bruno Davaillon and is still under design. Passersby can walk underneath the mezzanine-level of the restaurant, which also features a scaled canopy exterior designed to catch the sun and offer shade to restaurant goers. The paneled canopy will resemble fish scales and will be built with over 25,000 pieces of fabricated metal pieces. Quote "You'd be hard pressed to miss the restaurant because it will look so iconic," Cavazos told me. That scaled look will continue skyward to the top floor of 400 Record includes a solarium that will have the same canopy structure as the building's restaurant to provide shade for workers in the building. Quote "From downtown Dallas, you'll see the building on the skyline with a picture frame that's outlined with an LED light," he added. The LED light will likely have a static color of white, but would have the ability to change colors like other office buildings along the Dallas skyline.

Sic'EmBears Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Two Dallas Midtown stakeholders step up to help build centerpiece of $20B project Candace Carlisle September 23, 2016 Quote Two Dallas Midtown stakeholders have stepped up in a big way to help build the proposed centerpiece of the evolution of Dallas Midtown, which is expected — if all plans come to fruition — to be the $20 billion answer to Frisco's $5 billion mile (which actually now totals $6.4 billion). Dallas-based Beck Ventures has pledged $1 million towards the $15 million privately-raised match proposed by the Dallas Midtown Park Foundation. The foundation has asked the city of Dallas to earmark $15 million of the upcoming 2017 bond referendum, which is capped at $800 million. Quote Another stakeholder in Dallas Midtown — EF Properties — has also agreed to sell a 5-acre parcel of land on the east side of Montfort Road in the Dallas Midtown vision to the city at a $1.9 million discount to market value. EF Properties would be one of five property owners that would need to sell acreage to the city of Dallas to create the 20-acre park. In all, it will take $30 million to acquire the land to build the proposed park. Quote "The park is an integral part of the Dallas Midtown project," Beck, who also sits on the Dallas Midtown parks board, told the Dallas Business Journal."It's on the city's vision plan and office tenants, retailers and restaurants want to know the park is happening. It's important to stakeholders that the city will make good on a commitment that happened two years ago." Land for the Dallas Midtown park would need to be acquired sooner rather than later since market values on the land is likely to rise as Beck Ventures begins the initial $400 million phase of its portion of the mixed-use development, he said. "Now is the time to acquire the land for a park before you have escalating prices due to inner city development," he said. Quote "Dallas needs to step up and allocate $15 million of its bond money to create a centerpiece of this $20 billion development."

Sic'EmBears Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 DART seeks development partner for Mockingbird Station adjacent real estate Candace Carlisle October 6, 2016 Quote 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.
