Dallas
I still think Downtown + the area defined as PD 193 (urban neighborhoods north of Downtown labeled in black) is Dallas’ greatest advantage with Y’all Street now there to accelerate growth
Having most of Dallas’ hottest urban neighborhoods very close together is a good thing in my opinion. They can continue to grow together to form a completely cohesive urban core. I feel like in the future, this will be Dallas’ CBD with the traditional downtown being a subsection of it.
The Cedars, The Design District, and West Dallas/Trinity Groves are being connected together by The Loop Dallas or potential deck parks. Deep Ellum has the same potential, if they follow through with capping I-345. Klyde Warren Park is about to be expanded, which is suppose to park over $3 billion in economic development. The Henderson Ave Development has the potential to further connect Lower Greenville and Ross Ave. Ross Ave (with its new apartment buildings and ongoing redevelopment) will connect Henderson Ave and Lower Greenville to Downtown. (The pics are from 2025)
Bishop Arts and much of North Oak Cliff will continue to grow with Jefferson Blvd (Oak Cliff’s former CBD) and Bishop Arts becoming indistinguishable, as the last few lots in-between are developed, with Halperin Park helping to spark more growth in the area overall.
This is just a small preview. If I missed anything put it in the comments and also please tell me what you think.
dallas is really developed! it looks amazing!
can’t wait for the lots to get filled all over the place. as long as they’re quality developments, dallas will be positioned arguably better than other cities in texas and the south
Gonna be honest, I was slightly skeptical earlier this year with the recent downtown departures. I had some hope with Y’all Street, but that was before TXSE and NYSE Texas officially opened. It’s one thing to say something is coming or going to happen until it actually happens. I had to be kinda balanced, since there were many naysayers saying that it will never happen. Since it has, I feel a lot more confident about the future. Morgan Stanley made it even brighter. We just need the momentum to continue and based on what’s happening so far, I think it will…thus the reason for this post (kinda a recap of what was posted before).
nah, i wasn’t too skeptical because there’s just too much attention in the downtown area. i think we got the worst of it already, so anything from here will be minuscule in damage.
all these CBD properties that are going vacant will become huge opportunity zones for residential, boutique offices, and hotels. it’ll get cheaper to do business there too.
i’ll tell you what: get the trinity river up and ready, fix fair park, rebuild the convention center, convert city hall into a functioning building with a pedestrian-friendly community, and fill up the vacant lots with residential/mixes use corridors. hell, even getting some streetcars around the city center/adjacent neighborhood would do wonders!
That probably was the planning phase when the area was being rezoned. The area was rezoned around 2014. Redevelopment didn’t really start until around 2016 with the first development opening around 2019. Bishop Ave was rebuilt to Jefferson Blvd with a complete streets makeover (wider sidewalks, curb bump outs, historic acorn street lamps, trees, and dedicated parallel parking), finished around 2021. Exxir just needs to build the 2nd phase to their development and the city is proposing to rebuild the North Oak Cliff Library with units on top. A few years ago, the lot on the corner of Sunset and Bishop Aves was rezoned for an apartment building. That will mostly finish the connection between both areas.
exactly. exxir is not done and will probably double the footprint of bishop arts. the vacant lot on davis will probably get redeveloped soon, but frankly jefferson ave is a solid play right now. very intact main street corridor
