A typical Yimby introduction to this topic: This thread is designated for miscellaneous low-rise projects of any stage in development. At YIMBY, low-rises are considered buildings of less then 10 stories (100 feet). Projects of 10 or more stories (100+ feet) are deserving of their own thread in the appropriate category. Significant projects of less than 10 stories (100 feet) are eligible to an individual thread. Dallasˋs general development news can also be tracked here. Larger projects over 100 feet in size can also be mentioned in this topic. an example: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/f/4/f4c6c8d43a2454fccbbc629b167d6f8a9faf2a5d.jpeg) > **[Dallas Will Put New Convention Center, Fair Park Improvements on November Ballot](https://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2022/04/dallas-will-put-new-convention-center-fair-park-improvements-on-november-ballot/)** > > The Dallas City Council voted 14-1 to ask voters in November to decide if the city should raise the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent to fund a new convention center and improvements to Fair Park. ---

Why would Dallas be anything like Boston or Philly, when they’re much older cities? Dallas is rapidly building up its core, it’s gonna take time. But things have been improving for years now. Klyde Warren Park and the increased development around it is an indicator. Thousands of units have went up and millions of sq ft of office space. Resulting in increased density. That’s why Goldman Sachs is building a campus in Uptown. Numerous projects are on the way. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/2/4/24ea4313694b17ed1cabf7cdae7f38e9c17e8a35.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/8/0/8041e70579ae76014a114c4e4bf2d52ddd2ae427.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/2/d225cbca8c289f9027703121cd5800eba7a0603c.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/d/7d374b09643dd9e2d64b0e959570c682af796260.jpeg) ---

This is the newly updated renderings of the NewPark development. This development is right across the street from the planned new convention center and entertainment district (you can see portions of it in the video at 0:59). As you can see, there’s an attempt to densify and urbanize the Downtown area. Now, they just need to actually build it.

Nice to have someone to cover Dallas here. That convention center is massive. Looks amazing. If texas high speed rail ever actually starts construction (Unlikely, hopefully brightline takes it over or Texas gets its head out of its ass), then it would be nice to have a large modern station nearby this whole area. ---

Amazingly the only new passenger rail actively being built in Texas is in the autocentric suburbs of Dallas! Here is the Silver Line, an absurd boondoggle that will connect Dallas-Fort Worth airport with Plano. Yes, it will have connections to some of the DART light-rail lines, and it will be possible to change trains at DFW to connect to the line that goes to Fort Worth. But given this is Texas, this is sure to become one of the less-used commuter-rail lines in the country once it opens for service in 2026. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/f/6/f6fc0ef6035aba03cd05b352dfeafbd6069286ae.jpeg) [https://dart.org/about/project-and-initiatives/expansion/silver-line-project](https://dart.org/about/project-and-initiatives/expansion/silver-line-project) [Next page](https://forum.newyorkyimby.com/t/dallas-general-development-news-construction/22323.md?page=2)
