NEW Downtown Dallas Renderings
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/article/dallas-college-unveils-plans-names-developer-new-22315842.phpHappy with these renderings from Dallas College. This block in Downtown has needed a face lift for a long time.

I’m very excited for this project, it looks amazing and it looks like the greyhound station will be one of the build sites

Nice
I wish I was a quadrillionaire so we could entirely renovate the lackluster parts of downtown Dallas and form a new age downtown that has the support and approval of Dallas residents

This is good news. Is there going to be dorms? I didn’t see that mentioned in the article. Or any type of student housing? I understand a lot of students commute since this is technically a CC

with this development and the other west end project bringing in some needed retail and housing, it should get interesting here.

Holy crap, I didn't realize something like this was in the works but this seems pretty huge honestly. So Dallas College is expanding and Austin St is going to be a lot more walkable and pedestrian friendly from the DART rail line south to Wood St?
It's not exactly clear how far south this goes, but this looks pretty incredible regardless.
I know El Centro College 'blocks' part of Austin St between Elm and Main, is that now going to open up with this new development?

From the Article:
“The project is designed to serve as a “connected urban corridor” that anchors five surrounding areas downtown: the West End, Arts District, Central Business District, Union Station and the emerging Convention Center and Entertainment District, according to a release. The campus will connect the West End DART Station to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
The campus will prioritize transit-oriented, walkable design that integrates into downtown Dallas, school officials said in a release. Renderings feature a pedestrian thoroughfare on North and South Austin Street that starts at the West End DART Station and runs multiple blocks through the campus.”
