Dream Hotel Group is expanding into Texas with a new property in Frisco, at the southwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and U.S. Highway 380.

The 200-key hotel, which is scheduled to break ground in 2023 and open its doors in 2026, will anchor the new mixed-use development Firefly Park. The landmark project calls for 4.75 million square feet of office space, 2,200 residential units (including luxury mid- and high-rise apartments and townhomes), and 380,000 square feet of planned retail space. The project is also set to include a music hall and an outdoor amphitheater.

I wonder if people in Dallas and surrounding areas get as frustrated when projects like this are announced, and don't move for well over a year. Very, VERY similar to the U-Haul lot here.

That's a really cool looking project with the unique looking buildings. I have to say I've given up hope for the Dream Hotel project at the U-Haul lot.

That project is behind the U-haul lot, in terms of on the timeline.

Wow...this may hurt Frontier City more than Six Flags Over Texas. Definitely will pull younger families from across the Red River.

To be honest, that wouldn't be the worst. I would love to see more money spent there or turned over to someone who would invest in it.

We went there a few years ago for a work gathering, rode three rides and all three were terrible. This was prepandemic.

OKANA will change the game for OKC. Will pull a lot of families from North Texas, Southern Kansas, Amarillo, and Tulsa.

OKANA is something fresh and new, different, you only can go to Great Wolf Lodge & Hurricane Harbor so many times. Big win for Oklahoma City metro area.

I forgot the name of it but I love that downtown Dallas skyscraper with the open slot in the upper part of it.

yes, because dear Dallas was a thread about how a particular poster felt about the city. This thread is for pictures and new development related to the DFW area. Since there are announcements similar to the Maywood, Stage Center Tower, Metropolitan etc. . . nearly every week or so, I'll only really get into the major ones.

Well, there are similar threads about various cities in the same area with the other Dallas thread which offer pictures and new development information about those cities. It just seems to be a better area for this kind of thread.

I thought about that, but that thread is branded under Oklahoma Communities. I just didn't know whether or not it would be appropriate or not to place it under that thread.

I understand. It's difficult sometimes to know exactly what is the best place. There are threads in that area about Omaha and San Antonio and the last time I checked they haven't been moved to Oklahoma.

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is pretty cool, I was by there last week.

This thread really puts things into perspective as to how far ahead Dallas really is of OKC. The Stage Center Tower, if built in Dallas, wouldn't even be worth mentioning. It also shows what a true boomtown looks like. OKC, while growing moderately, isn't what I would consider a boomtown at the present time. There is stuff being announced, but nowhere even close to the magnitude that is happening in Dallas or even Austin.

And think on this....that's only half the metroplex. There's stuff the size of the proposed Stage Center Tower going on all over Ft. Worth and many places north and in between. It's crazy, but it's also huge at around seven million people. Here's perspective - "The Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington MSA is, by population, the largest metropolitan area in Texas, the largest in the South, the fourth-largest in the United States, and the tenth-largest in the Americas."

And the economy? "It is also the sixth largest gross metropolitan product (GMP) in the United States,^[8] and approximately tenth largest by GMP in the world."

Why bother comparing? It's truly apples and oranges trying to compare DFW with the OKC metro.

True. There is no comparing a city the size of OKC to Dallas anymore than Amarillo can really be compared to OKC. There is a lot of Dallas-bashing on this forum though and while many people may prefer cities the size of OKC over ones the size of Dallas, when talking about development Dallas is an example to embrace, not bash.

Yeah, Amarillo's close at about 1:5. A better example would be the Tyler, TX MSA right at about 1:6.5 as Oklahoma City. Almost exactly the same as the difference between DFW and OKC MSA. That's even more perspective.

Downtown Tyler....

Excellent way to make a point that so many can never seem to grasp.

I'm not comparing it with OKC. I will say once again, this thread is for posting updates and pictures regarding the DFW metroplex.

Bchris, Dallas is not a boomtown. Like a previous poster said, Dallas has the 10th largest GMP in the WORLD. They're an established global city. They may not have touristy iconic landmarks like NYC, but they're a global city in every sense of the word. Of course OKC is not comparable. Boomtown is a word used for growing cities like Austin/SLC/Portland, not established cities like Dallas/SF/Boston.
