It is anecdotal, but I just helped someone move out of a large apartment complex this past weekend in the Deep Ellum area and she told me that apparently the complex wasn't raising rents this year b/c of all the new product that is recently opened and currently going up. There are maybe 6 tower cranes on the east side of DT Dallas right now, the phrase "Don't Uptown My Deep Ellum" is popular down there and I hope that ends up staying true. A development like this with a number of affordable units will help to keep that side of the city attainable for people that don't fit Uptown and make Deep Ellum the unique neighborhood it is.
Agreed.

Deep Ellum has the most potential out of any neighborhood outside of Uptown.

The removal of I-345 and the contiguous grouping of preserved buildings will continue to be a draw for peripheral development.
