    First look: Next Deep Ellum high-rise on the drawing boards

    Project Location



    Westdale and StreetLights plan to build two new apartment buildings next door to the landmark Adam Hats building on Canton Street.

    A four-story building would stretch along Canton at Crowdus Street. Behind that, the plan is to build a 17-story apartment tower next to the elevated highway behind the Adam Hats Building.
    “It will be primarily clad in brick masonry with cast stone detailing, and partially clad with metal panels,” according to the Landmark Commission filing. “The overall design is intended to be a contemporary interpretation of the Adam Hats building design.

    “A rooftop sign, inspired by the billboards on the historic structure, is also proposed,” according to the report. “The area between the Adam Hats building and this new construction is intended to be a courtyard for the tenants of the buildings.”

    The more than century-old Adam Hats Building started out as a manufacturing plant for the Ford Motor Co.

    Groundbreaking set for Oak Lawn high-rise this week

    Project Location



    Construction will kick off this week on the 20-story Novel Turtle Creek apartment tower near the intersection of Oak Lawn and Avondale avenues.
    “We look forward to welcoming our first residents in early 2022.”

    The high-rise will have 24-hour concierge services and onsite pet facilities. There will be a fifth-floor amenity level with a landscaped outdoor deck, a swimming pool and outdoor kitchens.

    The building will have a fitness center, a resident lounge and two guest suites.

    WDG Architecture designed the building, and Rogers O’Brien Construction will be the general contractor.
    Crescent Communities’ Turtle Creek project is one of more than a dozen high-rise residential buildings on the way in North Texas.

    New McKinney Avenue tower will rise from block occupied by Truluck’s, Gold’s Gym in Uptown

    Project Location



    The 27-story office and retail tower will sit on a prime corner on McKinney Avenue, Uptown’s “Main Street,” making it the tallest building on McKinney Avenue.

    Trammell Crow Co. plans to build the 2401 McKinney tower on the block between Maple Avenue and Fairmount Street.

    The more than 2-acre site next to the Crescent is occupied by Truluck’s restaurant and Gold’s Gym.

    “It’s in the heart of Uptown,” Trammell Crow senior managing director and principal Scott Krikorian said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to transform this underutilized site with a world-class office development with a significant amount of street retail.

    Truluck’s will be the anchor retail tenant for the project.

    “They had a 20-year lease,” Krikorian said. “The key was to work out a deal with them to provide for a new restaurant in the building.”

    Crow Co. has been working on the site for years.
    Plans for the building call for 670,000 square feet of offices, 15,000 square feet of retail and underground parking.
    Crow Co. selected Connecticut-based architect Pickard Chilton to design the project, and Dallas’ HKS will be the architect of record.

    “In January, we did a design competition,” Krikorian said. “We had five world-class architects come in and give their vision for the site.”

    Landscape architect James Burnett will also work on the 2401 McKinney project.

    Krikorian said Crow Co. wants the new tower to be worthy of a neighborhood that already has high-profile buildings by architects Philip Johnson, Robert A.M. Stern and César Pelli.

    “The buildings are all here along McKinney, from the Crescent to the Ritz-Carlton go McKinney and Olive — incredible architecture,” he said. “We wanted to do something that would be different but also in the same genre of great architecture.”

    The 2401 McKinney tower will have landscaped plaza areas on the street and terraces on cantilevered sections of the building’s floors.

    “We’ve tried to maximize the open space and push back from the surrounding buildings,” Krikorian said. “We set the building back along Maple so that we could create a connection of our plaza that aligns with the Crescent’s motor court.”

    Crow Co. plans to start construction on the tower early next year with an opening in mid-2023.

    New Uptown Dallas tower is in the works on Maple Avenue

    Project Location



    Crescent Real Estate plans to build the more than 30-floor luxury residential tower on Maple Avenue between the Stoneleigh Hotel and the Crescent.
    The high-rise is set to go up at 2811 Maple Ave., just north of Cedar Springs. The tower would replace a low-rise commercial building.
    “It could have been office or hospitality, but after some analysis of the market, luxury multifamily became the obvious and logical choice.”

    The building will have about 220 rental units that average 1,200 square feet in size, which is significantly larger than the typical new Uptown apartment.

    “We thought the market needed a project really geared to a different clientele than other buildings in Uptown we have seen,” Pitchford said. “There is a place in the market for a higher-end project.
    Dallas architects GFF designed the residential tower.
    The masonry, glass and metal tower will have a third-floor pool deck and underground parking.
    “That’s a tall order — five levels of underground parking,” Pitchford said. “But it’s something we committed to do.”

    The Maple Avenue side of the building will be heavily landscaped with 10-foot sidewalks and outdoor seating areas.

    “We are taking exactly the same approach here we took at our McKinney and Olive building and in the repositioning of the Crescent that the frontage of the property has to be treated right,” Pitchford said.

    Two new high-rises are in the works for North Dallas’ Preston Center

    Project Location



    Developers are detailing plans for two new towers planned in North Dallas’ Preston Center district.

    Rosebriar Holdings and Burk Interests announced the high-rises earlier this year on almost 1.5 acres they own along Westchester Drive just east of the Dallas North Tollway.

    The developers are seeking zoning to build the two towers with residential, retail and hotel space on the site near Preston Road.
    The proposed high-rises will replace a three-story office and single-story retail building along the west side of Westchester.

    One residential tower will have 255 apartments and will be developed by Burk Interests.

    The other building on the corner will have 240 hotel rooms and 90 condos with ground-floor restaurant and retail space.

    “Rather than having additional office on this site, we are bringing in residential and hotel uses,” said Evan Beattie of GFF. “At the center of the site where the two properties come together, there will be a significant open space.”

    A landscaped court between the buildings, wide sidewalks on two sidesand lavish plantings of trees and greenery are part of the development plans.

    Beattie said the developers are “significantly committing to planting areas and new open space.”
    Most of the parking will be in underground garages.
    “As a neighbor, we understand our great responsibility of getting this site right,” said investor Leland Burk. “We view this as a legacy project for our family and our partners.”

    But before a groundbreaking, the developers must get zoning approval from Dallas’ city plan commission and city council to allow greater height and density for the buildings.

    New Park mixed use district in DT Dallas

    http://https://rejournals.com/new-mi...wntown-dallas/

    A joint venture between Hoque Global and Lanoha Real Estate plans to construct a nearly 40-story high-rise at Newpark Dallas, a 20-acre development project on the South Side of downtown. Construction on the project is slated to begin sometime next year.

    Designed by Merriman Anderson Architects and Pickard Chilton, the mixed-use property will feature office, hotel and residential space, with retail and underground parking occupying the lower levels of the building. The developers have tapped Moss Construction as general contractor.

    Dubbed One Newpark, the tower will feature 225,000 square feet of offices. When completed, the Newpark Dallas district is expected to have over 1 million square feet of office space. The first phase of the master planned project also calls for a 245-key hotel and 268 apartments. As currently envisioned, The Newpark “Smart District” will also include a 1-million-square-foot educational campus.

    Designed by Dallas architect firm HKS, the JW Marriott Hotel is valued at more than $85 million, according to permits.

    Korean fried chicken restaurant Bonchon moves global headquarters to Dallas

    Korean fried chicken franchise Bonchon announced it will move its global headquarters from New York City to Dallas on Jan. 1. With the move, company execs will be able to put a greater focus on growing the restaurant brand in Texas. It will also allow New York employees to work remotely or move to Dallas.

    CEO Flynn Dekker was drawn to Dallas because it’s affordable and is situated in the middle of the country, he says. He also likes that the headquarters at the Dallas North Tollway and Arapaho Road is accessible to an international airport

    Dallas joins foodie elite with opening of massive Eataly Italian market-cafe

    196483_original.jpg
    IMG_4600-677x451.jpg

    As thrilling it is to see a sweeping, 46,000-square-foot marketplace brimming with Italian food open in Dallas, there is something else that Eataly’s arrival does. It confirms that Dallas, and the greater area in which local farmers and producers sow land and raise animals, is a bona fide slow food city.

    No, it’s not surprising; it’s something that has been growing for many years. Yes, we’ve been abuzz from being named Best Restaurant City of the Year by Bon Appetit. But to have a thriving restaurant scene, a city needs to have an even richer agriculture environment. Look no further than the microgreens at Profound Foods and the pasture-raised beef from local ranchers. It all goes hand in hand, which is why Eataly’s decision to open in Dallas is more than just exciting, it’s affirming.

    Eataly is pretty good. I’ve always hoped they would open on in OKC. I eat at the one in Century City often. Not sure why that restaurant alone though makes a city something unique on the food scene.

    Dallas council approves light rail subway project



    Dallas City Council approves $1.7 billion ‘D2’ subway project

    The Dallas City Council has approved building a new light rail route through downtown including a subway section with three underground stations. WFAA-TV reports the council also said it would support Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s effort to obtain an $800 million Federal Transit Administration grant to help fund the $1.7 billion project. The new segment, known as the “D2” project, would be served by both the Green and Orange light rail lines, could see the start of construction after 2022 and be operational in 2028. In all, the 2.4-mile line would include five new stations.

    I'm the opposite lol. Jollibee is the worst fastfood ever, maybe it's better quality here as I've only ever had it in the Philippines. Bonchon I've also only ever had in the Phils and would much rather see that here.
