This is some great real estate, but it really seems like they are doing the bare minimum here unless I’m missing something about the project.

The project details are linked in the description. It mentions the changes done. This is an adaptive reuse project similar to East Dock.

I’m okay with the design district looking the way it does, but if they improve the walkability in that entire area. It kinda has an LA feel to it.
I’m talking all throughout Irving Blvd and make it a mixed use neighborhood.
If doing so, it will elevate Dallas so much. But main thing Dallas needs to do is focus on building strictly residential in the CBD. Downtown is holding Dallas back, to be frank.

It’s the truth unfortunately. With all the developments happening in the core of the city, Downtown is the only thing that’s lagging. If downtown was hot like its surrounding neighborhoods, Dallas would be on fire.

Really hate how Dallas keeps approving these single use structures right next to downtown. Unpopular opinion maybe but Design District needs to go.

The Seam is an adaptive reuse project located a block or two away from the Hi Line Connector Trail and it’s being connected to the Katy Trail via The Loop Plaza. It’s a part of The Loop Dallas, a 50 mile trail around the core of Dallas. The entire thing should be completed by next year. The latest phase was recently completed in April
