Sic'EmBears Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current rendering looks a little different and is not as tall, either in floor count or relative to the KPMG Plaza building. Looks to be about 27 stories (which comports with the latest news items: 2-story base; 11-story hotel; 14 stories of condos.)

Sic'EmBears Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 D-FW's office building leasing market leads the nation, and construction ranks second Steve Brown October 6, 2016 Quote 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. Quote Overall rents in the area are up more than 13 percent in 2016, behind only Brooklyn (14.5 percent) and San Francisco (13 percent) in total rent gains.

Sic'EmBears Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dallas Holocaust Museum to begin capital campaign to build new museum Candace Carlisle October 20, 2016 Quote The Dallas Holocaust Museum and Center for Education and Tolerance plans to kick off a large capital campaign to fund a new museum in downtown Dallas next week. Quote "We wanted this to be an engaging facility," Scott Hall, principal and director of design for Dallas-based Omniplan, told the DBJ in 2015. "We want to share a very personal story that gets people's attention and shows you the real people impacted by the Holocaust." The design of the new facility — which could find a permanent home in the West End, across from the museum's current location — will help create a narrative that shows the journey of the many who experienced the Holocaust, he said. The U-shaped building will include an exhibition area that turns into a reflective area in the courtyard outside the museum in the neighborhood bounded by Ross Avenue, Houston Street and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit light. The building will include an approved metal for the West End, which will set it apart from the other buildings in the neighborhood that are primarily brick, Hall said. Quote The museum also plans to unveil new renderings of the facility next week.

(NYSE: JEC) has been in the works to move its global headquarters from Pasadena, California to downtown Dallas for months, and now it's official.

Sic'EmBears Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Another potential relocation to Downtown: Goldman Sachs shops downtown Dallas for move that could bring hundreds of workers Steve Brown October 25, 2016 Quote Goldman Sachs & Co. is in talks with building owners to relocate hundreds of workers from an office in Irving to downtown, real estate brokers who are tracking the deal say. The New York-based investment giant is planning to rent more than 100,000 square feet of prime downtown office space in what could be one of the largest recent deals in the area. Goldman Sachs has zeroed in on the 50-story Trammell Crow Center on Ross Avenue as a location for the office. Quote The landmark downtown skyscraper is about to undergo a major renovation that includes adding retail space and construction of additional parking across the street. Quote If the relocation happens it would also be one of the biggest such moves to downtown with the potential for more than 500 new jobs. "That size lease would make an enormous difference downtown in perception and reality, particularly based on who the tenant is," said John Crawford with the economic development group Downtown Dallas Inc.

Not very impressive. Please come to HTown were the Texas Medical Center is larger then Downtown Dallas. In a few years Houston will have a huge downtown when Midtown, Downtown, Greenway Plaza, and of course the Galleria Uptown district will be combined.
