Sic'EmBears Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Henderson Avenue project would remake popular East Dallas strip Quote Dallas' Open Realty Advisors, which owns the Henderson real estate in partnership with Los Angeles-based CIM Group, is asking the city for zoning to construct a combination of retail, office space and a community garden and park at Glencoe Street and Henderson. The 4.5-acre project would bring the most significant new construction to the street in decades. And most important, it would add much-needed parking with an underground garage. Quote "We want to create a real sense of place here." Quote The buildings that would line Henderson Avenue would be a maximum of three levels with two levels of underground parking. Quote He said that although the land is zoned to allow commercial and apartment construction, homeowners in the adjoining neighborhood didn't want more rental housing. "The other thing was they said, 'Please limit the amount of bars in the community,'" Masinter said. "So we've said no more new bars. "We will have 12,000 square feet of restaurants but no bars," he said. Quote Where the project joins the next-door neighborhood, the developers plan to construct two parks and small residential-type buildings on Glencoe Street. Quote The planned buildings will be pushed back 40 to 60 feet from the adjoining neighborhood and screened with trees. The developers are working with the city on traffic solutions for Henderson, Masinter said, including new paving and center turn lanes. Quote Developers hope to get planning approval for the project early next year and start construction sometime during the year.

Sic'EmBears Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Boutique hotelier Thompson Hotels has chosen The Drever project, former tallest building in Texas and west of the Mississippi, for its latest hotel. Thompson Dallas will be the fourth Thompson hotel in the nation, following Chicago, Nashville, and Seattle. The group also operates hotels in New York City, Mexico, and Toronto. Via DBJ: Quote "Bringing a Thompson hotel to the mixed-use development is going to deliver a hospitality experience that will complement the standards of top notch service and amenities offered throughout The Drever," said Frank Marro, president of Drever Capital Management, in a statement. Quote The 216-room boutique hotel is slated to open in fall 2018. It will be called the Thompson Dallas hotel at The Drever. Downtown Dallas Inc. President Kourtny Garrett said having a hotel located off the DART rail line that extends to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport will be a coup for the city's central business district and the property. The Thompson Dallas hotel, which will sit on floors 11-22, will also feature a 49th floor restaurant and a ninth floor amenity deck within the 50-story skyscraper.

Sic'EmBears Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 A multi-level corporate office building is rising on the same block as The McKenzie. Project Location Via GFF: Quote This company selected a half acre site adjacent to the Katy Trail near Highland Park to build a 15,000 SF headquarters office. GFF was charged with creating a design that would serve multiple generations, with humility and good stewardship. The resulting building is three stories with a limestone base which conceals secured ground level parking. A mostly glass box, protected from the sun by a steel brise-soliel, enjoys treetop views across the trail toward Highland Park. The vertical circulation core anchors the glass box to a taller stone clad element. The resulting composition is regionally and climatically appropriate, modern yet timeless. Construction began in September 2016. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Limiting development along Blackburn was of particular concern. Gables Residential also agreed to avoid any vehicular entry to or from Blackburn. There will be three underground parking garages spread across the complex Other significant concessions include more green space. Initially, the size of a public plaza positioned to face West Village was 21,000 square feet. It has increased to 27,000 square feet. Other open green spaces throughout the development increased from 75,000 square feet to 93,000 square feet. Gables hired The Office of James Burnett (OJB Landscape Architecture) to design the plaza and other green spaces. OJB is a renowned national firm known for its work on Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, The Park at Lakeshore East in Chicago, and the Arboleda in Monterrey, Mexico, among others. (This sketch of a section of Travis Street at Blackburn illustrates the concept of an exclusive, landscaped drive.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Downtown Dallas tycoon creates two new restaurants in Design District (The Joule, Facebook) Quote Because colonizing downtown Dallas with hotels, shops, and restaurants is not enough, developer Tim Headington has two new restaurants in the works, this time in the Design District. Headington Companies will open two new eateries inside a 10,000-square-foot complex designed by Seattle-based Olson Kundig: Wheelhouse, a modern gastropub Sassetta, an Italian restaurant The company describes Wheelhouse as being inspired by the modern American gastropub, with an urban atmosphere. The plans are for it to be open for lunch and dinner, with a menu that pays homage to bar culture, with distinctive takes on contemporary pub fare. Design will be a mix of stylized industrial elements that include guillotine-style floor-to-ceiling windows which are mechanically operated. Sassetta is both a picturesque village in Tuscany as well as the name of a 15th-century painter. In Dallas, it will be a multidimensional Italian restaurant that draws on a range of Cal-Italian flavors. The menu will reinterpret Italian dishes, including a pizza program, which they already feel certain will be "amongst the best in town." The dining room will be relaxed yet elegant, with a mix of contemporary design with nostalgic, whimsical finishes. The goal: to function like an all-day cafe for those looking to linger.
