"We have some pretty dramatic changes coming at Chase Tower," said Jonathan Landau, CEO of building owner Fortis Property Group. "We want to deliver something that gives you better access to the building."

"We are going to make the plaza in front an extension of the Arts District," he said. "Right now, it's not very appealing for arrivals. The building has so much to offer by repositioning the plaza and creating an art component."
A more open plaza area, landscaping, walkways and a motor drop off at the base of the building are part of the plans for the Ross Avenue side of the tower.

"It's going to be a pretty dramatic change," he said. "We are going to strip clean the entire plaza and start from scratch."

"We plan to bring in a top tier restaurant to the rotunda which it was initially designed for," Landau said. "It's a prime location and absolutely beautiful space."
Landau said he's almost done with the designs for the plaza renovations and plans to start construction in the coming months.

Trump airport stimulus could speed construction of 6th terminal at DFW International (http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2017/02/09/trump-airport-stimulus-could-speed-construction-of.html)

For DFW Airport, an increase in federal aviation dollars could permit or speed the construction of a sixth terminal, Hegarty said.

The airport is in discussions with its largest tenant, American Airlines, about possibly building a sixth terminal, DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue has said.

With the area’s population and economic growth, the airport’s existing 165 gates will not be enough to handle the region’s projected growth, he said. The proposed Terminal F could add about 30 gates. Donohue said in past discussions that he hopes to open a new terminal early in 2020 or soon after.

A sixth terminal would put DFW “at the forefront of international airports,” Hegarty said.

“The intent would be to would make DFW one of the premier airports in the world,” Hegarty said, “taking (ideas from) some of the more recently built facilities, such as the airports in Singapore and Abu Dhabi, and applying them here.”

The Obama administration never took action on the issue, but U.S. airline executives have asked Trump to consider doing so.

You probably haven’t heard the term Woonerf unless you are in an architect/city planner-type. Or Dutch.

Her new unique neighborhood called Urban Commons, to be located off Forest Lane near I-635, was unanimously approved by the Dallas City Council Jan. 11.

“Neighbors will live their values and connect with what they love: modern architecture, living green with access to the outdoors and to urban amenities,” she says.

These will run about $200,000-$600,000.

The project consists of 75 – 80 single family homes will be built by architect/builder teams in groups around landscaped common areas. Homes will be smaller, from 600 square feet to 2,800 square feet.

“Modern architecture and national green building standards will apply. A limited, carefully selected palette of materials will ensure cohesive design, low maintenance and durability. Expansive front porches on each residence will reinforce a sense of community and provide a proven eyes-on-the-street approach to security,” the developer notes.

“The 10-acre site will place a priority on the natural attributes of the property, through visual and spatial connects between the building clusters and the wooded environment of a creek and water branch that traverses the property. Outdoor amenities, including a pond and a walk path engage the existing nature through the plan. In contrast to the re-wilded creek, residences front on cultivated landscapes and professionally maintained commons areas that are connected to garages and parking by accent paving.

“Streets will incorporate Woonerf [ʋoːnɛrf] details; an urban planning strategy that creates shared streets where pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles travel together without traditional safety infrastructure to guide them.

The Seattle-based online retailer has signed a lease for five floors, or roughly 100,000 square feet, which will basically double Amazon.com's regional office within the Galleria Towers property, multiple real estate sources told the Dallas Business Journal.

The expansion of the regional operations center was likely needed to help support the online retailer's growing presence in North Texas, said Susan Arledge, president of site selection for Dallas-based E Smith Realty Partners.

A Dallas-based development group, Larkspur Development LP, has started its latest urban-style home project and its first in West Dallas, which will bring 16 townhouses within walking distance of the Bishop Arts District.

The project, called The Row on Elsbeth, will bring red-bricked townhouse with divided light warehouse windows and gooseneck lighting to would-be residents starting at $450,000.

The nearly half-acre of land will be home to the $16 million townhouse project and will bring the only new 'for sale,' product to this neighborhood, he said.

This latest project will give homeowners access to 60 nearby boutiques, shops and restaurants, as well as be right across the street from the new streetcar that will provide direct access to downtown Dallas.

The townhouses near the Bishop Arts District are slated for completion by the end of the year.

Massive upgrade to Highland Park Village gets underway (http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2017/03/14/massive-upgrade-to-highland-park-village-gets.html)

https://media.bizj.us/view/img/10378385/hp-village-building-g-renderingjpg.jpg


The multimillion-dollar revamp to the tower along Preston Road — on the eastern side of Highland Park Village — includes remodeling and re-tenanting the second and third floors, as well as redoing the ground-floor lobby.


The upgrades will create a 6,100-square-foot rooftop terrace and will expand the third floor by about 19,000 square feet. It will also convert roughly 21,000 square feet of office space on the second floor into retail space, which, upon completion, will be home to the new William Noble Rare Jewels shop.


The exterior upgrades will reflect Highland Park Village's traditional Spanish architecture, which includes Spanish tile, facade details and wooden balconies.


Dallas-based Omniplan is the project designer.


The redo is slated for completion in mid-2018, with additional tenant announcements expected in coming months.

First look: Six-story apartment/retail complex proposed in Lakewood (http://lakewood.advocatemag.com/2017/03/11/first-look-six-story-apartmentretail-complex-proposed-lakewood/)


The new plans include a retail section on the first floor topped with five stories of residential units, 140 in total at about 975-square-feet a piece. That would mean an uptick in density, current zoning allows for a floor area ratio of 1.5:1, while this project seeks to increase that to 3.45:1.

Two stories of underground parking would support the building, although only one parking stall is provided per unit and the total number of spots has not yet been decided. There would also be “head-in parking” for shoppers on Oram.

Crow Holdings wants to add a final office building at the far north end of the project.

The 96,000-square-foot office development will be between Maple Avenue and Dallas North Tollway, just south of Knight Street, according to plans filed with the city. The project will include six floors on top of a parking garage.

"We are planning to begin excavation next month and we should be ready for the first tenants in the first quarter of 2019," said Crow Holdings' Cathy Golden. "We are 100 percent occupied — a good place to be when you are starting a new building."

"We've put in all new mechanical systems in the building," Hoque said.

He said the exterior of the 27-story 62-year-old office tower will be "all lit up."

On the third floor, Hoque is building a new conference center.

And below street level in the basement, construction is starting on a 7,500-square-foot shared office environment that will be geared toward start up companies and incubator business space.

Hoque - whose DRG Concepts restaurant company owns the Fish Market and Chop House Burger restaurants across the street - plans to turn a former bank branch space in the bottom of the Adolphus Tower into another eatery or retail space. There will also be retail along Akard.

When the $7.5 million project opened in 1955 it was touted as "the most modern office building in the Southwest."

A developer is planning a three-story building in old downtown Frisco that will include two rooftop patios, a rooftop park, restaurants, and an event center as well as retail and office space.

“We’re trying to create the rebirth of downtown, where people can go eat, shop and stay,” Churchman said.

Churchman said his focus on this project is to maintain historical downtown Frisco.

“With the bigger projects happening along the Dallas North Tollway, sometimes we forget what started this city and [what started it is] right here in old downtown Frisco,” Churchman said.

He is set to present the downtown project to the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission on April 11, when he is expected to ask the commission to rezone the property to Old Town Commercial.

If approved by the P&Z and City Council, Churchman said he is expecting to break ground at the beginning of fall.
