There is a large parking lot directly east of the hospital that is a designated free employee parking lot that is for the time being going to be permanent, however there is also a spot where a small fellowship is located adjacent to this parking which would make the most since to possibly sell to allow for more development, but I'm not sure if parkland owns that land or if someone else owns it. North of the hospital or directly north of children's hospital next to 35 is another large parking lot owned by childrens however I'm not what it's regularly used for as most of the time it is fairly empty, but I have seen construction equipment and work on this lot so it could be utilties, a new clinic, or expansion of the hospital, not sure.

EXCLUSIVE: Zales' parent Signet confirms building new office campus at Cypress Waters
Candace Carlisle
April 15, 2016

Quote:

The world's largest retail diamond jeweler — Signet Jewelers — has exclusively confirmed with the Dallas Business Journal that it plans to develop a new Dallas campus at Cypress Waters, which will include a 225,000-square-foot office building and a 31,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.

The two-building campus will sit lakeside in Cypress Waters and will give the Akron, Ohio-based jewelry company the ability to enhance its manufacturing capabilities in the region.

Quote:

"The campus will be newly constructed, allowing us to configure the space to best meet the needs of the business, while providing team members with a modern, comfortable working environment," he added. "The new building will be fully occupied by Signet team members and as Signet continues to evolve, the new campus allows for that transformation to continue."

The new manufacturing building will bolster Signet's manufacturing ability in the region to build diamond bracelets, jeweled rings and other intricate jewelry, with enough space for 150 employees to work. The facility also gives Signet the ability to better control its operational costs.

Quote:

"This will be the first building on the lake edge," Lantz, senior vice president of investments and build-to-suit activity for Billingsley, told the Dallas Business Journal. "We are starting the development of The Sound and the campus will overlook the water and this will be a great amenity for the employees that will office there."

The campus will connect to a six-mile hike-and-bike trail around the lake. Construction will also begin on apartments adjacent to the lake by the end of the year.

Quote:

Construction is slated to begin in June on the campus, with the manufacturing building expected to be complete first followed by the office building. By the end of 2017, Signet will move into its new campus.

Decent design considering it is a high-rise Residence Inn.

Great news for Fort Worth.

The fenestration is clean and modern, but the parapet needs redesigned.

Developers of the $1 billion Bayside project say they will break ground next week on the mixed-use development on Lake Ray Hubbard

Quote:

The centerpiece of the 262-acre Rowlett development is an 8-acre water resort that will stretch along the lakeshore. Inspired by similar Crystal Lagoon projects in Mexico and worldwide, the water feature will include swimming and boating facilities and what planners say will be the largest water show fountain in Texas.

“We should be open by the fall of 2018.”

That's a massive development. Do you guys think they'd extend the DART line from the Downtown Rowlett Station to have a stop near this? It's along the same rail line. Then there could be a future extension to Rockwall or something if it's ever desired.

It's possible. Probably won't even be seriously thought about for 20 years but if this project reaches its potential and DFW keeps expanding East then an extension should definitely be considered.

Agreed. Could be advanced if a private developer puts up the money including the feasibility study. DART (rightfully so) does not make growth plans based on a development rather they base it on a number of other factors. Arlington still has no public rail and that was one of the selling points Jerry Jones made about locating his stadium there. After the fact, there is still no rail and the tax payers are still not moved enough to join DART.

Investors come to the rescue of stalled downtown Dallas skyscraper project
Steve Brown
May 2, 2016

Quote:

A California-based investor has made good on its promise to resurrect a troubled Dallas skyscraper redo.

Drever Capital has paid $65 million to buy downtown’s landmark First National Bank tower at 1401 Elm St. The sale closed Friday.

The new owner plans to move ahead with converting the tower into a combination of apartments, shops, offices and hotel rooms.

Quote:

“There are still more things that need to happen,” Crawford said. “It’s great that we have a big developer put a lot of time money and effort into making this project work.

“Their plans call for something new and different,” he said. “It’s a huge step forward in terms of where we are headed.”

Located at Elm and Akard streets, the First National Bank tower takes up an entire downtown block.

Quote:

“I can’t think of anything that will have more impact on downtown than breathing life back into that project,” Crawford said. “It will fill a huge void downtown.”

San Francisco-based Drever circulated a private investment offer to secure funding for its purchase and development.

The company has been in business since the 1960s, and the principals have invested more than $20 billion in projects.

One of the comments pointed to another article from 2014 about how $230 million could go to this facility, but $160 million isn't available to connect the DART station to Love Field. Here's the referenced article:
