Wow that's big! West 7th 2.0, coming right up. 

Three other notes I noticed from the zoning submittal

- The architect is Michael Hsu out of Houston: https://hsuoffice.com/

- The total project will cost "approx $850 million

-It looks like the developers will pursue significant street rebuild in the mixed-use areas. 

Also, I didn’t realize Marion Sansom Park had those views. I’ve been missing out.

It's a little slice of Hill Country in the City. I make a yearly pilgramage during the fall.

Sorely needed, the City Council action next week to repair the FWWR crossing at Berry: https://fortworthgov...56-2D6A7C81585B

My understanding is that those are Fort Worth and Western tracks. Does anyone know how much use they even get?

I found myself with some free time this today but not enough time to get a parking pass (I think they sold out anyway) so I rolled into the Marion Sansom Park about 10 mins before the Blue Angels show and watched from there. Did a bit of a hike to find a good spot. There was a lot of people out, the parking lot was full and lots of sections of Cahoba had cars parked alongside them. It was a great spot to watch from, as many of the low passes over the runway were essentially at eye level. 

Mulholland Building zoning change was voted for unanimous approval by zoning commission. It was quite a long discussion at 35 minutes. Parking was a big topic of contention.

In other news, leasing has begun: https://www.loopnet....th-TX/31384967/
Look at all that space!

I also found it "interesting" that a Granbury housing development that targets retirees seemed to be the lead sponsor 

That community even has it's own "air show"!

Also worth noting that Saturday is sold out. Still seem to be some space on Sunday. I don't think they did much advertising because they didn't need to. 

West Bend South has hit TDLR: https://www.tdlr.tex.../TABS2024015828

 

 

Seven story multi-family project with 330 resident units, leasing lobby, two resident lounges, dog spa, fitness center, two story structured parking garage and core and shell retail space.

Got the shot I wanted.

I'll also add that it's great post-tour event for those of you attending the Walking Tour, which is on the Near Southside this Saturday. John will be one of the guides, as usual.

Open Streets on Magnolia is back for the first time since being cancelled by COVID in 2020. Bring your bike, scooter, skateboard, skates, whatever! Always a fun time.

Drama involving banks, Burnett Plaza ownership, and renovation contractors. The current vacant rate of the building is 26%.

That would make a heck of a hotel or apartment building.

 

Of all of the big ofice highrises in Fort Worth, it seems to me Burnett has the easiest floorplan for residential conversion (outside of The Tower, of course!)

TCU says work will start on the stretch of University through campus this Spring: https://www.tcu.edu/...rsity-drive.php

I don't think I realized the project was going to go all the way to Campus. I knew that was part of the vision, but I never really saw any drawings of it. It's listed only as a "future phase" in this presentation: https://www.fortwort...resentation.pdf

So no Chick-fil-A, Starbucks', What-a-burger or In-N-Out drive-thru windows?
