Gables McKinney Ave | Uptown | 8 Stories | 239 Units w/ Whole Foods at the bottom | Under-Construction
Gables Residential has broken ground on its newest Dallas development located in the prominent Uptown district at the intersection of McKinney Avenue and Routh Street. Anchored by Whole Foods Market®, Gables Residential plans on opening the mixed-use community in early 2015. On approximately three acres, the community is located on McKinney Avenue, one block from The Crescent, two blocks from the Ritz Carlton and surrounded by restaurants and retailers. In addition, the community is a quarter mile from Downtown Dallas, Klyde Warren Park and the Arts District.
Sue Ansel, CEO of Gables stated, “Gables is pleased to begin construction on our exciting new development which is designed to complement the neighborhood. We believe our community, with the addition of the Whole Foods Market, will enhance the amenity offering in the Uptown area. We are excited Whole Foods Market chose Gables to showcase their next store within the Dallas city limits.”
The community will be comprised of 222 apartment homes and 17 townhomes totaling 239 residences. The eight story high-rise and three story townhome style apartments will feature Whole Foods Market as the sole retail tenant occupying 39,500 sf on the main floor of the building. The eight story concrete high-rise will offer top quality finishes and amenities along with garage parking incorporating separate garages for Whole Foods Market and residents. The design is a contemporary warehouse aesthetic to complement the townhome portion of the community, which is located in the State-Thomas Historic District. The three-story townhomes will have internal garages and are designed to be historically contextual brownstones in the Queen Anne Victorian architectural style.
The community design is focused on the pedestrian experience, including patio seating along McKinney Avenue, and the Whole Foods Market entry adjacent to the McKinney Avenue Trolley. The garage will provide easy access for Whole Foods Market’s customers to enter the store for ease of shopping. Gables will be adding historic markers for the State-Thomas Historic District, open space for neighbors to enjoy green space, brick crosswalks and other enhancements for the neighborhood. In addition, Gables donated $85,000 of mature trees to the nearby Griggs Park renovation.

Toyota Relocation Update
Hundreds of outside contractors will make the massive move to Toyota’s new headquarters in Plano, joining the 4,000 regular employees asked to relocate.
A company spokesman said Monday that Toyota has not determined how many additional people — or jobs — will be part of the move.
“It’s just a finger in the wind at this point, but I think ultimately we will hire several hundred people and up to 1,000 for these jobs,” spokesman Scott Vazin said.

Old Texas Stadium Site Redevelopment
The former Texas Stadium site took center stage at Thursday's Irving State of the City Address, with a three-dimensional model showcasing the possible redesign of the high-profile acreage.
A San Diego firm, OliverMcMillan, has been working on a redevelopment plan of the 78-acre former Texas Stadium site for the past year, hoping to turn the acreage into a corporate magnet and high-end retail destination for Irving residents.
The tract could hold millions of square feet of corporate office space and house thousands of corporate employees, fueling speculation that Fort Worth-based American Airlines Inc. could be wooed to the property.
Mayor Beth Van Duyne wouldn't comment on American Airlines Inc., but said the property could attract a major corporation. She also said details of the project on the former Texas Stadium site are still being developed.
In the past, she's said she can't comment, citing a non-disclosure agreement with a real estate broker representing an undisclosed company. Previously, Troy Barron of Weston Commercial Realty has represented American Airlines in its real estate deals.
"I can confirm there's a lot of interest and a lot of negotiating, but it's too soon to speculate on who the future tenant will be," Van Duyne has said.
Texas Stadium hasn't existed since it was imploded in 2010. The land is being used to hold highway construction materials for the expansion of State Highway 183.

PluPan, you have Dallas on the brain today!
Thanks for all the information. They sure are doing a bunch of stuff down there. It's mind-boggling.
Haha always! I love Dallas. Haven't posted any good updates in awhile. There is still tons more to post.

Thanks for a wonderful doctoral dissertation written about Dallas.
I've always been one to feel lucky we live just three hours from one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country. I don't see any kind of comparison with OKC as you can't compare a metro area that has a population of...what...seven of ours? Many parts of Dallas I like a lot, but to me Ft. Worth is one of the most underestimated, overlooked cities in the nation.
Didn't realize it, but this is being built around it.

I went to Nebraska Furniture Mart last weekend.....it's like IKEA on steroids, size wise. It's incredibly large and we didn't even make it through the entire store...after 2.5 HOURS.
If you're ever in DFW and looking for some cool neighborhoods or districts to check out, I highly recommend Near Southside Fort Worth along Magnolia, Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff, downtown Grapevine, and the TCU/Berry area.

I just for the life of me don't understand why they'd want to locate in a sprawled out, cookie cutter, highway infested, un walkable, city like Dallas where the traffic is so bad people like adaniel can't even go out.
If you can figure that out maybe you could also tell us why the line is always so long for the McDonalds drive-thru.
