Just to jog anyone’s memory: this is a part of the multibillion dollar The Central development. It’s next to Texas’ only subway station. Jefferson Innova (430 units) plus The Oliver (351 units) is 781 units of the planned 2,000 units planned for this development.

Also, there’s a view of Knox-Henderson as well. The video shows a lot of ongoing infill and the potential for even more. Best video that shows all the areas north of Downtown being connected.

Links that corresponds to the pics are in the reddit comments. I think most of this has been covered already and is just for people who want more info. Too lazy to post all of them here

I had to add the temp location of the Texas Stock Exchange at Weir’s Plaza and the planned Four Seasons Hotel . If no new projects happens, I hope the Four Seasons starts. It’ll really give some height for that area. Also, it’ll be interesting to see where they decide to put the permanent TXSE. The developers of the redevelopment at the BOA Plaza talked about wanting to lure them.

It looks like a 80,000 sq ft Lifetime Fitness with 250 or 350 units (it says both in the brochure) is up next for The Central. With talks of the TXSE I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to lure them too.

Includes more renderings of the restaurants as well

This is a screenshot of the 3rd pic. It’s slightly sharpened so you can see the buildings a little better.

A new article from the Dallas Morning News talks about the definition of Downtown changing because of all of the new development. Eventually, ppl will call this entire area “downtown”.

Your idea of downtown’s location may not be the same as everyone else’s New residents may not know strict definitions, even as efforts persist to connect different areas.

More people today may care about the future of downtown Dallas — but sometimes it feels like many of them have a different take on where the heart of the city is. With over 1 million people joining North Texas since 2010, many ideas are in flux about what sidewalks, buildings and parks are within downtown borders. And that’s not about to change amid our growth.

That said, there are some traditional, agreed-upon limits for downtown with key highways: I-35E, I-30, 75 and 366. It makes for a simple and clear downtown.

But no one’s handing out these maps to folks when they arrive in the city’s core. So, a Plano resident driving through Uptown could see tall, glass-covered buildings and associate them with the core’s skyscrapers. Klyde Warren Park helps connect the two areas as well. Then there’s nearby Deep Ellum.

And don’t forget Victory Park with its modern vibe or the Cedars with some of its developments. The Design District shouldn’t be ignored either.

But while ideas can vary, the development of different areas points to something bigger: “I think what we’re seeing, especially the last 10 years, is the emergence of, really a more urban Dallas,” said Andrew Matheny, senior research manager at Cushman & Wakefield.

These are part of bigger plans that connect the different areas as “Dallas’ city center is a unique collection of diverse, vibrant neighborhoods that have shaped the rich history of the city.”
