The Dallas development thread I started on HAIF (Houston Architecture) really took off and thanks to all the contributors is one of the most active threads on that site. Seems one on here might be a good idea to keep things organized. Instead of also having a Dallas Exurban thread for Plano, Frisco etc.. all together here might be just fine for simplicity. There's a lot of development going up. This thread is not intended to brag or gloat but to inform those in the Fort Worth area who are genuinely interested in what's going on over yonder. Feel free to add any Dallas area development news.😎

With all due respect. I simply go to the Dallas Forum. And often go to read up what is going on in Dallas. I mentioned not long ago I liked the old Dallas forum format better. But whatever. I notice a lot of Dallas postings from you. And that is fine. You can read up on my past postings and my sometimes complements of Dallas developments.  But I must say. I am a bit unnerved due to what we here had to deal with about 10 years ago. We had a very hardcore very extreme Anti Fort Worth hater here from Dallas. I would go far as to say he was militant in his anti views of Fort Worth. I hold nothing back about my love and allegiance for Fort Worth. Especially in a Fort Worth forum site. So you can see the conflict. But I welcome you and hope your time hear can be a positive and learning experience for me to learn about Dallas.

Thanks for replying NID. The old Dallas forum...are you talking about DFW metropolis? The new format is okay. Im not a member over there but I lurk.

Truthfully I believe HoustonArchitecture and this site have the best layout. I wish DFWmetropolis would do this format instead of the new one.

No I'm not a Fort Worth hater or anything like that. In fact I'm glad FW is getting some good towers now with the Frost and River towers. And more should be coming in the future.

I'm just trying to contribute to this site and I will invite others that I know to turn the wheels of this place a bit.

Welcome to the forum. We discuss Dallas projects from time to time, but I'm sure a lot of stuff gets missed. I'm looking forward to seeing what's happening to the east.

The AMLI link is a dead one, but there are several images in the thread you linked. That's a nice looking building. Very complimentary of Fountain Place.

Is it safe to return to the Dallas metropolis forum?

 

The last two times I tried to visit (two or three months apart a couple years ago), I was redirected to a virus & spam-filled website.

I am not a member of the DMF. But I saved the link to it. And visit the forum that way. And if the link is down? I let it go at that until its back up again. As of now it is ok.

JasonDTX I don't hold your view about Fort Worth getting many new towers I am sad to say. That has been a ongoing topic in various post here. I don't let my love for Fort Worth blind me of my dislikes of Fort Worth development. But that is for another time. I also am just a Luker at DFW metropolis. But I will check out the Houston/Arch site. I think I did visit that site many years ago ? But Welcome again. I look forward to your post and opinions about Dallas and other topics. :smwink:

That's going to be a great companion piece for fountain place. I remember reading somewhere that fountain place was supposed to have a twin when it was built. Guess it got a little brother instead.

There's a lot of development going up. This thread is not intended to brag or gloat but to inform those in the Fort Worth area who are genuinely interested in what's going on over yonder.....

 

 Just a precursory look inton HAIF suggests that "really took off" is an overly benign description of how it was received.  I'm not saying that I have read the comments of all the  "Dallas Development Thread" on the Houston site, but it did apparently evoke the administrator to remove some very heated comments and to issue a reminder to its members about city v city food fights.

 

http://www.houstonar...worthmetroplex/

 

Posting a "look at me", or "my grass is greener than your grass"  thread into another city's forum can be seen as invasive;  whether it is Houston or Fort Worth, it has the potential to become controversial. Fort Worth, by its nature, is feverishly given to boosterism because of its position. it is an elusive feeling that for a number of factors other cities can not match.  Amon Carter would surely agree.

 

As for the notion that Fort Worth is in complete darkness as to what is going on to its east is untrue.  If there is a need to be informed, one would be free to visited that or any other city's social forum site. What is true is what I believe is an indispensable need for Fort Worth to have a Forum, this Forum, so as to focus on topics that are of themselves about this City;  regardless of a need to know what is going on elsewhere. Unless and only unless, if what is going on elsewhere has a tangible and impactful bearing upon Fort Worth, then the need to know may be justifiable.

The reminder at the top of the DFW page on HAIF has nothing to do with any Dallas threads I started. It was there long before. There's a type of big brother vs little brother vibe between the 2 cities on that site. You won't see that on the Austin or SA pages. I find it hilarious.
Sure there are a lot of hostile Houstonians on there but that's part of the fun but there's also some of the coolest posters on the site. I also love the layout like this and enjoy learning about HTown developments.
I'm not looking to start any type of friction on here and will ignore anything flammable trying to do so.
Thanks for replying.

Several posts within this thread have been deleted.  I may have deleted too many of them, but I wanted to keep the discussion civil and I tried to delete all of the posts that had negative comments.

 

One comment was made about the jurisdiction of "Surrounding Cities".  Dallas and its environs are within our metropolitan area, but those parts to the east were deliberately left out of the list in order to discourage what happened on the board today.  Posts about Dallas are permitted, but there are other boards about specific other cities where you can post.  I want all of you to be on your best behavior over the next few days.

Surely you can keep count if you try really hard.

 

Almost any word that I can come up with would be inadequate to express how glad I am that you are so glad.

Dirt is moving on AMLI Fountain Place.
This will make an impact on the skyline at 562ft, a hair taller than Museum Tower. Glad to see the project started.

It's interesting but Bank of America, Cityplace(my avatar) and Fountain Place were all supposed to have twins. I actually like the BOA and FP as singles. It lets them have their individuality but that's just my opinion. Cityplace though would have looked great as a set of twins bookcaseing 75-Central Expy.

I remember when all of those original renderings and models were shown with the twin towers of all three developments.  I do agree with you in that having BOA and FP as singles show their individuality.  The AMLI tower will set itself apart from FP, yet it will also look like it was planned with the development.  The Cityplace twin would have been pretty impressive.

The Smart District 78 story building, and the new Perot tower are both proposed new tallest buildings for Dallas. Hard to imagine BOA being the third tallest building in Dallas. Wonder if either of the new towers will claim the tallest in Texas title.

On the one hand, this is the type of relocation that makes me really frustrated that Fort Worth can't seem to land:

https://www.bizjourn...-campus-in.html

 

I start thinking about the fact that FW has way better bike infrastructure and is generally far more friendly to outdoor pursuits on bicycle vs. Plano.  On the other hand, the whole business model of Peloton is keeping people indoors and attempting to replicate the outdoor experience artificially.  So maybe Plano really is the perfect location...

I bet that Dallas is as frustrated as Fort Worth each time a relocation comes to the region and lands its suburbs instead of in Dallas proper. It  has to be embarrassing to read "Relocating to Dallas when the address is in Frisco, Plano, Irving  or the likes.

I scoffed at the idea of using a Peloton at first, but I know a few people who swear by them.  The convenience would be great.  I just can't see coughing up the money when I have a perfectly functioning real bike that's paid for.  Would have been nice to see Fort Worth get something like this.  It would have fit in great with the "new money" vibe of Clearfork.

You have to admit it.  If you're an out-of-state corporate real estate acquisition person you would probably be more attracted to this Allen, Texas, business park than the relatively unattractive environs of downtown Fort Worth or downtown Dallas.  No traffic congestion, either, especially if you can live and work in Allen.  Article in FWBP.

 

https://fortworthbus...ard-next-month/

 

 Probably like yours, my initial impression was to think of it as appealing, with the asymmetric glassy mid-rise.  Then the bird's eye
view sinks it for me.  I know that it is just opening soon, but for my taste, it lacks natural rural features (water, creek, greenspace,etc) and it does not have the density of a downtown which would make it even more attractive.

 

It is just another drop in the bucket of these kinds of indistinguishable project that sadly are hurting both Downtown Dallas and by extension, Downtown Fort Worth.

Awful! I hate that so many new office buildings are being built in transitless suburbia.

 

As far as living and working in Allen... You can live and work in Fort Worth or live and work in Dallas as well.

 

 These are the kinds of developments that have gotten under the skin of Downtown Dallas/Dallas by living off of the Big City.

Repost from DOC Thread -

 

Before we get too far afield, this discussion is good except that it really isn't directly tied to Downtown Fort Worth or Downtown Dallas. I could imagine that if the discussion is centered around the suburbs v downtown, then maybe Okay.  It becomes a ball of yarn trying to untangle and follow the posts when several aspects (transit, downtown office occupancy, suburban projects) get lumped into the same line of discussion like coleslaw.

 

Dylan point about transitless surburbia is on point in regards to Allen.  Allen refuses to joint or support transit; instead it builds $100M High School Stadium.

I heard from an quality insider that after the Amazon 2HQ go round, Dallas would take the money ($1.1B)  that it had planned to offer Amazon to advance its own RFP.   Apparently, KDC+Lahona RE have ceased this commitment by Dallas and are helping Dallas to create it own "smart village" - New Park.

 

Mayor Price, who seemed quite unenthusiastic about bidding for Amazon 2HQ has yet to explained her indifference of Amazon 2HQ  and what she would do with the "$400M" she had promised to Amazon.  Would she spearhead an effort to attract more businesses of that caliper Downtown. It seems not.

 

I think that her leadership has and continues to be really uninspiring.  Sometimes she actually appears to be  part of the problem for not having the requisite nature to lead with bold ideas. Is it that she is being controlled.  She stunned me with her disappointing news and the haste in which she announced that the City would put a hold to the CC Expansion. By halting the long promised CC Expansion, who benefits and who loses?

 

What forces might want to impede more hospitality projects and hold on to status quo share?

Dallas has always been the city that will. Fort Worth has always been the city that could but wouldn’t.

What is so ironic is that the data that Dallas touts is by enlarge the same data that Fort Worth has a right too - DFW Airport, low taxation, excellent road infrastructure, inexpensive land, relatively low cost of living and tolerable weather conditions, etc.

 

Once upon a time, Fort Worth had its champion - Amon G. Carter. 

 

Now it has become a town of low expectations and lacks temerity when it comes to grand ideas; since the creation of the Metroplex,  Fort Worth has been contented to remain comfortably in the shadow. 

 

What is encouraging is that without much of any civic effort to speak of, outside investors have finally begun to recognize the potential in Fort Worth.  As Fort Worth gets more exposure and disassociation with its neighbor, the more it will be viewed as a diamond in the rough and an opportunity that has been overlooked.

Quite a bold proposal here

Developers always produce really good videos of a city.  Dallas' downtown area looks huge, dense and beautiful in that video. 

 

That said, I'm not sure if  this will ever actually come to fruition. ( A similar development has been pitched for the northeastern end of  downtown Dallas, but has yet to see movement)  But Dallas has always been able to capture grand visions of developers - some projects happen; some don't. But since I love watching construction of big developments like this, I would love to see it happen.

It will be interesting to see if any of these developments come to fruition. It is also good to see a development proposed to replace those out-of-place garden style apartments in Victory Park.  

 

These three projects will change the Dallas skyline

That Victory project is INSANE. Really hope these all happen. 

DFW is such a cool place because we can easily experience these developments while living in a city with it's own separate vibe.

Here's another interesting project in Uptown Dallas "The Quad"

 

I like their immersive 360 renderings: https://thequaduptow.../immersive-360/

This could be one of the largest current projects in DFW for the foreseeable future.

 

"Children’s Health and UT Southwestern Plan New $2.5 Billion Dallas Pediatric Medical Campus"
Original RFQ documents call for the hospital to have 532 beds and to begin construction in 2024.

(I gather the total cost of this project could be a lot more than even the D-Mag article indicates)
