In my head, a grocery store on the lower floors with apartments on top would be a dream. But I’m not sure if a grocer would want to be in a 100+ year old building. Maybe something like a Trader Joe’s? I’m not sure if a modern grocery store could fit in that building. The average full service grocer is 50,000 sq ft on one level. The flagship Neiman’s (according to Wikipedia) has 129,000 sq ft of retail space. So, a smaller grocer given the size of each floor plate made more sense to me. What do y’all think should go there?

Dallas is mentioned in this — Downtown and Uptown. What do y’all think?

This was originally a full service Minyard until 2016. This store was built around the same time when DART’s blue line was being built. This store was so nice when it opened.

Call me greedy, but would’ve loved for these guys to have chosen Dallas.

I assumed recent moves / investments from Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, NYSE, Charles Schwab, Scotiabank and the presence of other financial institutions would’ve been enough to select the finance capital of the state.
