Kroger 86s surface parking in favor of 375 apartments atop 2-floor urban grocer.

Kroger plans new store and urban apartments on the eastern edge of downtown Dallas

Quote:

Early this year Kroger filed plans with the City of Dallas to build just a supermarket and surface parking on the site.

But now the grocery giant has teamed up with a local apartment builder and wants to include 375 apartments with the project.

The development designed by Dallas architect GFF would have four stories of rental units on top of a 2-level Kroger store, plans for the project show.

Dallas-based apartment builder Trinsic Residential Group would build the rental units on top of the grocery store and parking garage at Hall and Flora streets.

Along with the apartments, the area above the Kroger supermarket will include an amenity deck for the renters.

The entire development would be 484,000 square feet and will require city approval.

Great news about Kroger. Maybe the Cedar Springs Kroger will do the same!

Really nice that Kroger decided to add apartments with this project especially considering how close it is to the Cityplace Kroger!

The new $1B Texas Rangers ballpark was approved, as was Donald Trump for President.

I really like the McKenzie's classical architecture style. It's really going to look great and add a great touch to the skyline. I also find it very interesting how architecture is starting to take a trend back to old styles. Great character.

The former Cabana Motor Hotel is under contract (again) but this time to a hotel developer

(Vintage Cabana Motor Hotel, Candy's Dirt)

Quote:

Instead of converting the 10-story, 357-room hotel at 899 N. Stemmons Freeway into a data center or retaining it as a possible county detention center, Dallas-based Circa Capital Corp. has put the mid-century modern hotel under contract and begun its due diligence to convert it back into a hotel.

"We have it under contract and we are doing our due diligence," Fred Aldridge III, president and CEO of Circa Capital, told the Dallas Business Journal."We are enthusiastic about where we are."

Quote:

And, he said, the firm could always convert into a boutique hotel without a typical hotel flag. If all goes well, Aldridge said the firm could buy the building by the end of the year.

The former Cabana Motor Hotel was originally built by developer Jay Sarno as a luxury hotel for $6 million.

History:

1963: The Cabana Motor Hotel opens with the help of an investment from Doris Day. In June, Jimmy Hoffa stays at the hotel and holds a press conference and reception.
1964: The Beatles occupy the entire 9th floor in September when they were in Dallas to play the City Auditorium.
1969: The hotel sells to Hyatt House for $4.35 million and becomes the Hyatt House Hotel. In April, Jimi Hendrix stays at the hotel while he's in Dallas.
1970: Led Zeppelin stays at the hotel.
1984: Dallas County buys the hotel for $9.2 million and converts it into a minimum-security jail, which opens in 1987.
2005: The property provides temporary housing during Hurricane Katrina and Rita.
2015: Lincoln Property announces plans to demolish the building and construct a data center on the site.

"The site has lot of lake frontage," said Legacy Partners' Spencer Stuart. "It will be 17 or 18 stories with a great view across the lake and views of downtown Dallas."

Stuart said the tower will be surrounded by 4-story apartments in the same development.

My wife and I will be visiting soon and were wondering if there are any good urban spots other than uptown, victory park, downtown and deep ellum that we should really check out. If you don't want to answer here a PM is fine. thanks.

If not those spots, then I'd say hit the Bishop Arts District and then Knox/Henderson. There are good restaurants and plenty of bars to hop around to in both areas. The Design District (though it's not super "urban") and Cedars could also be options.

Turtle Creek is neat and worth checking out as well.

Aside from the areas already mentioned, Lower Greenville is certainly worth a stop.

Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum and Lower Greenville. All are smaller and more low-key and very walkable. The Arts District is nice to walk around and has nice restaurants around.
