Sic'EmBears Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Dallas ranks first among Texas cities for hotel sales Quote Dallas saw the biggest jump in hospitality revenue last year among all of Texas’ major cities. Dallas earned $2.04 billion in hotel sales, compared to $1.88 billion in 2015. Quote He added that the city has the ability to bring in more sales. Though Dallas tacked on 1,600 new rooms between 2015 and 2016, bringing its total number of keys to more than 75,000, its occupancy rate was 71.7 percent. That indicates the market is still undersupplied. “(Dallas is) still below the supply that the demand is wanting,” Vaughn said. “There’s still room for hotels to be built.” Quote But not all of Texas’ cities saw positive hotel sales growth. Oil and gas-dependent areas, like Houston, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo and Victoria saw revenue dips of up to double digits, including a 37 percent nosedive in Odessa. “Houston has been hammered (and there’s) a lot of weakness in the oil and gas areas of the state,” Vaughn added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Doesn't a slowdown produce the opposite of filling up? Houston's port is 16th in the world if you count every ounce of gunk that gets shipped from the refineries. If you don't, it's 64th. Not entirely outside the topic of this thread, though, so thanks for bringing it up, since new Dallas development is what drives a lot of that container traffic on the coast. Speaking of waterways, everybody knows the Harris County water was purely responsible for fueling Tom Brady's rally, so congrats on having it. For those interested, the Bureau of Economic Analysis' 2016 GDP metro estimates will be released on May 11th.

strickn Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I visited an actual world-class city this week. It's striking that urban Texans bandy the term about so much these days without much philosophic thought as to what it would mean. That philosophical void is a central part of why Texas doesn't have any world-class cities yet. Profound thinkers that Texas shaped almost always had to leave to make their contributions; the contributions people come to Dallas or Houston to make, by contrast, are about "who brings in more money," not about humanity. The two are not mutually exclusive, or have not always been, but here, Texas' leading industrialists merely give donations to creative and intellectual organizations rather than really participating riskily in becoming a nucleus of intellectual circles themselves. (Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Society_of_Birmingham for a prototype of a better way of doing things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_invention_in_Birmingham is almost exhausting, but highlights include industrial chemistry, the steam engine, the first rocket engine (by the polymath grandfather of Francis Galton and Charles Darwin), social, religious, financial and educational/pedagogical reforms, modern postal service, the cavity magnetron, and computer scientist Conway Berners-Lee, better known for his son Tim -- which seems a pretty good place to close this web forum parenthetical.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Massive upgrade to Highland Park Village gets underway Quote The multimillion-dollar revamp to the tower along Preston Road — on the eastern side of Highland Park Village — includes remodeling and re-tenanting the second and third floors, as well as redoing the ground-floor lobby. Quote The upgrades will create a 6,100-square-foot rooftop terrace and will expand the third floor by about 19,000 square feet. It will also convert roughly 21,000 square feet of office space on the second floor into retail space, which, upon completion, will be home to the new William Noble Rare Jewels shop. Quote The exterior upgrades will reflect Highland Park Village's traditional Spanish architecture, which includes Spanish tile, facade details and wooden balconies. Quote Dallas-based Omniplan is the project designer. Quote The redo is slated for completion in mid-2018, with additional tenant announcements expected in coming months.

Sic'EmBears Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Glad to see underground parking become commonplace in Dallas. First look: Six-story apartment/retail complex proposed in Lakewood Quote The new plans include a retail section on the first floor topped with five stories of residential units, 140 in total at about 975-square-feet a piece. That would mean an uptick in density, current zoning allows for a floor area ratio of 1.5:1, while this project seeks to increase that to 3.45:1. Quote Two stories of underground parking would support the building, although only one parking stall is provided per unit and the total number of spots has not yet been decided. There would also be “head-in parking” for shoppers on Oram. Project Location 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a height limit there due to Love Field? I believe in many spots yes but the tallest u/c or just topped out are: 34stories 32 31 30 And the tallest existing is of course the 42 story city place. So any height limit seems wishy washy. What is irritating is that it seems that even now they are still proposing more towers in the 20-23 range. Instead of making a hundred of these squatters they could have made half the amount at twice the height or at least in the 30s range. It's okay though. Its all coming together nicely and if you've seen it lately the density is looking impressive. Like a little San Diego. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
