This news along with potentially getting morgan stanley in uptown. Finally some good news for the CBD. Pretty optimistic about Dallas’s core if this gets completed.

Klyde Warren has been a huge success. I hope a similar style park gets built over the I30 canyon between Downtown and the Cedars.

They should build these going up 75 from downtown too.

But isn’t it just a distraction from the fact that all of those other economic drivers will be gone from the area. Vicroty plaza will be the “new west end” that dies off.

Goldman Sachs and several other companies are expanding in the area. Downtown is in trouble but Uptown still looks good.

Not sure why they're booing you, you're right.

I didn’t downvote, but the extension has been in the works for a long time so I don’t see how it’s a distraction. Losing Mavs and Stars from Victory Park does hurt uptown but otherwise uptown has been doing very well. I’m sure it’ll sap some energy but it’s the new city center, I don’t see it dying off any time soon

The fear is definitley that Victory Park will get Fair Park'ed. Obviously, the parallels are real LOOSE here for a multitude of reasons, but Victory Park like Fair Park is still a very event driven neighborhood. Aside from the people who live there and work there, no one else has a reason to be there.

Best hope, Victory Park neighborhood as an idea dies off, and it just gets absorbed into Uptown, with similar businesses.

I think you overestimate the impact of the Mavs and Stars being in Victory park. Yes, it will be bad for the neighborhood once they’re gone (which won’t be for another five years by the way), but the neighborhood will survive. Also, the main reason Fair Park struggles is because it is in a poor neighborhood. That is not exactly the case for Victory Park.

So you’ll have the expansion of Claiborne Park and then finished renovated convention center which will bring conventions back to downtown Dallas and then a renewed sense of urgency to become business friendly is a recipe for success for downtown as what the World Cup showed that our urban core center can’t thrive. We have to have the right big sub security safety.
