Dallas

[_Cramer_]

Dallas will most likely be hosting the 2026 World Cup Final: https://www.axios.com/local/dallas/2...nal-2026-texas

They really need DART or at least a southern TEXRail line south from DFW Airport out to Arlington along I-30 or close to. No mass-transit options are going to make travel for attendees a nightmare.

IIRC, Arlington opted out of DART and the tax in order to build the sports stadiums

Good grief that's a lot. I hope most of them will be built and not just end being being empty announcements......

I'm thinking we'll see at least half end up getting built.

I don't think this makes sense. The tower could make a pretty cool centerpiece of a rail station. Redevelop the hotel into a more multi-use project. Is this a means to Hunt trying to get some government funding?

I definitely see that as a possibility

Most likely Hunt is just pushing to get the rail line built via tunnel. I don't disagree that if it's an elevated line that it would do nothing to help that area of downtown. They are most certainly being dramatic about having to 'tear it down' if the line is built but that's one way to light a fire under random people and city leaders though is to threaten that.

I lived a few blocks north of this area for a while and have stayed in the hotel several times. It's already cut off from the rest of downtown due to the current rail lines, adding elevated tracks would be terrible for the west end of downtown. Plus having the massive highways just to the west. It would make more sense to bury the tracks than do elevated through downtown Dallas.

Dallas is creating a new Texas stock exchange. Hoping to make the city the "financial center of the South". They will be in competition with NYSE and Nasdaq.

I Rode DART Earlier this week. It is pretty solid and they need to bring commuter rail to okc

TIAA to move over 1,000 jobs, corporate office to Frisco. The New York City-based financial services company will be shuttering the doors to its Denver offices to make way for its North Texas move.

The financial firm is reportedly closing its downtown Denver offices in 2026 as it prepares to move its offices to The Star in Frisco, close to the Dallas Cowboys’ training facility, and potentially adding 1,000 jobs to the area.

TIAA did not immediately respond to an interview request from The Dallas Morning News.

TIAA is one of the largest financial firms in the country as it manages $1.3 trillion in assets for 4.7 million people and 12,000 institutional clients like universities and nonprofits. It’s a move which will force TIAA to end its Denver lease before it was supposed to in 2029, but is expected to save the company money.

“Closing TIAA’s Denver office in 2026, instead of when the lease ends in 2029, will provide substantial savings in rent and operational costs — savings which TIAA can then invest in business needs and serve the best interests of our clients,” TIAA said in a statement.

TIAA currently employs approximately 1,000 people at its Denver office and many will be given the option to relocate to North Texas if they’d like.

“We made this announcement now to give our associates as much notice as we could,” the company said.

Another California Exodus to DFW, specifically Plano, TX. DFW is on fire with these moves. Texas is not afraid to court business to their State!

Looks like last year the DFW area surpassed Houston as the fourth largest in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago). Wouldn't surprise me if it just Chicago in the next five years.

Although, I miss living in DFW, family obligations brought me back to OKC, I do not miss the traffic. It is quite brutal and is getting worse by the year and is taxing their infrastructure in a big way.

This is very bad for Denver which is being played down as significant. I know several who work there and are hoping to get a full move package to a less expensive location. TIAA is traditionally a spendthrift employer so everyone is holding their breaths.

What metric did you get this from? if you look at the official US Census data, DFW surpassed Greater Houston in 1980 and hasn't looked back since. And the 2023 Census estimates placed DFW at 8.1 million and Greater Houston at 7.6 million.
