Sic'EmBears Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 New York-based shared office concept to put Texas hub in Arts District Hall Arts A New York-based shared office concept is bringing its first upscale coworking concept to the Dallas Arts District with the help of Dallas developer Craig Hall, who recently invested an undisclosed sum in the company. Along with being an investor, Hall will be the landlord for Serendipity Labs Coworking, which plans to open its 29,000-square-foot Texas hub on the 17th floor and ground floor of KPMG Plaza at Hall Arts. The hub-like office in the Dallas Arts District will serve as a launching pad for other Serendipity Labs Coworking offices in North Texas. Last year, the company announced plans to open nine locations in the region. "We think there is enough pent-up demand in Dallas-Fort Worth to justify eight really good locations," said Doug Denman, president of Worth Coworking. "We have begun looking at the markets we will want to be in." The 17th floor at KPMG Plaza will give Serendipity's initial North Texas location views throughout Dallas' skyline and will help solidify the coworking concept's upscale brand in the region, he added. Construction is slated to begin by the end of next month. Serendipity has yet to select a general contractor. Officials say they expect to be up and running for members by this November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Via DMN - DFW places second in North America data center absorption: Still, Bond said D-FW had Chicago beat by a metric that’s even more important than raw supply: absorption. That’s how much of that storage capacity is actually booked up by data tenants, or the companies that don’t want to house giant servers for all the information they need to run their businesses. And Bond said that as more and more data center ecosystems hit their stride, it’s a better indicator of how well-balanced regional markets are. D-FW’s absorption in the first half of 2017 was a 50 percent increase over the same time in 2016. “The story on Dallas is we have a great demand pipeline and the ease to build,” Bond said. Bond said that part of the reason D-FW is, in a way, playing catch-up to other markets is that its fast-growing business base is more diverse than Chicago’s, Northern Virginia’s or Northern California’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Exclusive: Sam Ware to give new life to former Parkland campus The longtime Dallas developer and business partner Jeff Blakeley of Dallas-based Dreien Opportunity Partners LLC are under contract to buy the 1.4 million-square-foot property, with plans to give it a second life as an amenity-rich destination called The District. "You could not replicate this today for under $500 million," said Ware, who calls this a "once in a lifetime," opportunity. Some of the proposed plans include: Convert the emergency room tower into a hotel to cater to the Medical District. A hotel flag has yet to be selected and a hotel study is being conducted to determine demand for rooms. Build small condos that can be sold at a price point ranging from the $200,000s to the $750,000s. Develop micro-unit apartments by combining two patient rooms into a 500-square-foot apartment that can be rented at a discount compared with Uptown rents. Retrofit rooms to offer a wide range of senior living capabilities from assisted living to memory care. Bring in a variety of amenities ranging from valet services, a high-end workout facility, eateries such as a 24-hour diner called Scrubs, a grocery store, high-end 7-Eleven store and other amenities doctors, nurses, patients and residents might need to stay in The District. Convert a two-story underground MRI facility into a parking facility to add up to 900 parking spaces to the campus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Oak Cliff's Wynnewood Village owner Brixmor plans upgrades for the 1940s shopping center Project Location Wynnewood was built in 1949, decades before enclosed malls were built. It was laid out like a village with one-story buildings and parking around the streets. A plan is taking shape to spend about $30 million to make the shopping center “more relevant to the community,” said Matthew Berger, president of the West division of Brixmor. "Their team has flown in three times in the last two months and we've had other conversations," Griggs said. "We welcome their vision and redesign. The addition of new tenants will benefit all of Oak Cliff and southern Dallas." He said it will take at least another 60 days before leases are signed, but said the prospective tenants are services that aren’t in the center now. Architectural renderings provided by Brixmor show a theater and a fitness center. “This is a project we’re ready to start tackling now,” Berger said. The core shopping center will get new landscaping, façade and parking areas, Berger said, and a section near an existing roundabout will be a new focal point of the shopping center. Brixmor is still working on plans, he said, but a second phase will include the large vacant field in the middle of the center where a Montgomery Ward store once stood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 While Dallas manufacturing thrives, Austin and Houston rank as nation's worst Tony Romo Tribute by Joseph Haubert Texas Job Creation/Loss by County Dallas + 3,200 Travis - (3,000) Harris - (19,000) North Texas Job Creation/Loss by County Dallas + 3,200 Denton + 396 Kaufman + 249 Rockwall + 249 Collin + 225 Ellis + 77 Tarrant - (2,095) Dallas County created 3,191 manufacturing jobs in 2016, according to Headlight Data. That ranked No. 3 in the U.S. for most jobs created. Dallas' success stands in stark contrast to Travis County, Austin's home, which lost 3,000 manufacturing jobs. Travis lost the second most manufacturing jobs nationwide. And the county that lost the most? Harris County, home of Houston, which lost 19,000 manufacturing jobs. Dallas' neighbor to the west, Tarrant County, didn't fare well either, losing more than 2,000 manufacturing jobs last year. "Oil and gas is very tied to metal manufacturing, and of course in Houston that's going to fall," Engle said, citing the downturn in the oil market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wondering about all that construction at the arboretum? Here’s what’s up. Later this fall, visitors will be able to experience A Tasteful Place, a working garden, or “portager” as the French say. The 2-acre space will be populated with fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers, and will include orchards, a picnic lawn, patios and trails that overlook the lake and downtown. You cannot miss the 3,600-square-foot Garden Pavilion, which includes a dining room and commercial kitchen for cooking classes, educational programs and chef-prepared meals. The healthful meals will be sourced from the garden’s produce, which will be grown sustainably. Throughout the year, there will be daily tastings, cooking classes and demos about planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 DFW recently acquired a WNBA team - the Dallas Wings. Now Lacrosse (MLL) joins Cricket and Rugby (USARL) in search for a professional sporting home in Dallas. Major League Lacrosse eyes Dallas for potential team as Cowboys' Star set to host championship game An expansion or relocation in Dallas would be a move toward bringing the game west, as seven of the league's nine teams are on the East Coast. "West is the direction we want to go," Ventresca said. And Dallas "checks all the boxes from the league's perspective." Gross said several groups are interested in owning a team in Dallas, but Jerry Jones' camp is not one of them. "The Cowboys will not be an owner," Gross said. "They’ve made it clear their focus is on the Cowboys, but they’re very supportive of what we’re trying to do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 New Dallas office tower on the way at Park Lane development on North Central Expressway The owners want to build an office tower with up to 11 floors and as much as 340,000 square feet of space. "The motivation behind this new building is we've seen serious upward movement in the rents in our existing offices," Spurgin said. "We think we'll garner significant interest with this building." Northwood hired architect Gensler to design the tower. The office tower would be one of the largest such developments along U.S. 75 in years.
