Exclusive: Cityplace, Forest City to develop new West Village hotel and apartment tower
Candace Carlisle
January 7, 2016

The group plans to build a nine-story, 150-room hotel with a connected 24-story, 389-unit residential tower that would sit on one of the last remaining tracts between Cityplace Boulevard West and Blackburn Street in the West Village on 2.6 acres.

The walkable aspect of West Village helped sell Hilton on the neighborhood to bring its newly created Canopy flag to the site, Alan Naul, founder of The Javelin Group.

Master developer Cityplace Co. resisted the temptation to build a sky-high hotel looking south to downtown Dallas' skyline to cater to the boutique hotel and give the high-rise views to West Village residents.

If all goes well, Sleeper said the team could select a general contractor by the end of the month. Construction on the tower could get underway in February.

A first look at JP Morgan Chase's new regional campus at Plano's Legacy West

With Toyota North America's $350 million, 2.1 million-square-foot corporate campus underway and Liberty Mutual Insurance readying its $325 million, 1 million-square-foot regional hub for vertical construction, it would appear J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s new regional hub could pencil out to more than $200 million of real and business personal property.

The 800,000 square feet of office space is expected to be spread out throughout a number of buildings. In an early rendering of the campus, J.P. Morgan Chase appears to have four mid-rise office buildings (attached).

Construction on the campus is slated to begin this year. The first J.P. Morgan Chase employees could move into the new campus starting in the second half of 2017.

****, I wish we could land just a few of these deals in OKC.

Heck, a couple of them in a year would be great. DFW gets these monthly, it would seem.

One thing that I'm a little disappointed with is a lack of "significant" high rise development on the current pace of Austin and Houston. I was on SSC recently and was stunned to see that arguably 18/20 (just using a rough estimate) of the proposed highrises in TX right now were in Austin and Houston, and about only two (that I saw) were in DFW and they were both under 500'.

And I say disappointed, as in I would love to see the Dallas skyline expand a little more. Not meant to be an insult.

No kidding. It's unreal. Just the Chase deal alone would have been a tremendous coup for OKC.

You do realize JP Morgan Chase campus is largely a consolidation of their existing facilities down here, correct? Liberty Mutual is the same, although they are going to be adding some new employees if I am not mistaken.

Not an insult...its the truth TBH. I'll say this, I am very thankful to work for a company where the CEO wants to have a Dallas address. My job is not located in Downtown Dallas, but we are in a somewhat dense, walkable area in the Galleria area. We have a lot of younger workers who live in more up and coming areas in the city of Dallas.

As nice as these things are, we are very much the minority as far as this area is concerned. The mentality here is very different. I won't say people are hostile to urban Dallas, but people move to DFW from the coasts so they can get their 4K square foot house in the suburbs for cheap and really aren't too keen on driving too far for work. It also doesn't help matters that the city of Dallas is lousy at attracting jobs and companies and can be flatly anti-development at times. Of course the burbs are more than eager to take advantage of this.

I should note that JP Morgan is pulling 1,000+ employees out of downtown to go to their new campus...really cannot think of anywhere else where this is happening at the level it is here. Its disappointing.

Yes. You do realize they also looked at other cities before deciding to consolidate in north Texas, correct?

**adaniel** · 01-08-2016, 04:47 PM

They were largely looking at cities in this area...in no way, shape or form was Chase thinking of moving 6K workers out of DFW. The article was somewhat ambiguous on that. This move has been in the news for some time and a lot of DFW suburbs have been jockeying for it.

Not really a fan of a company getting $100 million to shift jobs 15-20 miles up the road, but that's another post for another day.

I get that they are mainly consolidating so that wasn't the best example, but the point stands that I would love for OK to start landing some relocations or bigger offices.

As to your second point, I agree 100%, but as you said - another post for another day.
