Since I had some spare time over my spring break I thought I'd spend some of it taking some photos of all the construction going on around my old stomping grounds. I've got to say the place has really changed in the two years since I've left.
Here's some condos going up on my street.
Further down the block Exxir Capital's buildings on Bishop are looking amazing.
The detailing done with the mosaic tile is beyond beautiful.
Ongoing construction behind Bishop Ave Building
This building on the corner of Melba and Bishop is supposed to be having a soft opening mid-May from what I overheard some people at the site saying.
Alamo Manhattan's building on Davis is similarly beautiful in the details.
Dallas leads the country with new apartment supply

Apartment construction throughout the country is at a three-decade high with more than 403,000 market-rate units slated to deliver in the next 18 months, and Dallas has more product on the way than any other U.S. city, according to a new report.
Data collected by Richardson-based RealPage Inc. (Nasdaq: RP) indicates that over 29,000 apartment units are set to deliver in Dallas with an additional 7,000 in the works in Fort Worth. More than 5,600 units were completed in Dallas-Fort Worth in the first quarter of 2019.
Hey guys! I just came back from my work trip to Dallas from Monday-Wednesday and I gotta say, you have a beautiful city. I mainly checked out the Reunion Tower, Deep Ellum both day and night time, and used a lime scooter/walked in downtown during my last 2 hours there before my flight.
Dallas has a lot to offer and every area that I checked out were very welcoming. I loved that there were plenty of parking space to check out your bridge and that there's a pedestrian bridge right next to it.
Deep Ellum is very "modern" if I had to give it a word. I loved that there's so many murals, the buildings were brick but still had nice bars in the first floor. It's a very trendy area and aimed for the younger crowd for sure.
Traffic didn't seem THAT bad. I've noticed that you guys have a lot of lanes on your freeways.
Legacy Shops at Plano were VERY pretty.
Downtown is pretty nice. Good amount of shops/restaurants. If I had more time, I would've tried more food! I went to Happiest Hour for a bit. Loved the vibes there a lot. I would definitely go back before a game, which is what happened yesterday but my flight was at 8pm :|
Honestly, I would love to come back to Dallas and see more of it. Probably check out a Rangers game next time I'm here.

I'll post some photos when I'm back home!
Awesome, I'm glad you had a great time. I always enjoy hearing others' perspectives on the city and its progress, good or bad. Where is home for you?
I spend the majority of my time in California but will be moving fully back to Dallas in a few months, so peoples' positive experiences are particularly good to hear in that it helps to validate this decision.

I'm from a small town north of San Jose, CA. Funny thing is, whenever I was in an uber ride in Dallas, no one knew where San Jose was so I had to tell them it's an hour south of San Francisco haha. Speaking of uber rides, everyone that picked me up were very nice and friendly. Hell, even the one who brought me to the Legacy Shops in Plano went out of his way to show me the whole place.
But yeah, I really like that you guys have a good amount of mid-rises along the freeway and onto other cities like Richardson and Plano. There's a good amount of cranes around the area, which is good as it shows Dallas is thriving, even outside of downtown!
I would definitely check out Fort Worth and Arlington the next time I head to Dallas. I actually wish I had a longer trip down there so I could explore more haha.

Can't wait to see it all done next time I visit!
Wow, the development here is top notch in whatever neighborhood this is. I love the photo with the Flatiron building...it kinda looks like a pre-war urban neighborhood. This is how cities should be building neighborhoods.
I mean, I rarely comment on cities other than Atlanta, but the development looks so nice I had to give a compliment.

This would be the Bishop Arts District located in Oak Cliff neighborhood in Dallas and I agree this area has gained some impressive development that has even shocked many local residents not previously familiar with the area. Interestingly enough there has been a mixed response to this new development due to the gentrification of the area however I for one definitely in favor due to the sheer quality of the new development.
Council Report: Planned Texas Health Harris tower could be 14 stories tall
by Rick Mauch FWBP Contributor Apr 3, 2019 Updated Apr 3, 2019
The largest construction project in Texas Health Systems just got bigger - or at least it could get bigger in the future.
At its Tuesday meeting the Fort Worth City Council approved a zoning change for the new Texas Health Systems Hospital Tower at the northwest corner of Terrell Avenue and Henderson Avenue. The change allows the building to now be 14 stories tall.
Texas Health Systems is constructing a 10-story tower, and the zoning change gives them permission to add four more stories in the future, should the need arise.
^^ You guys have a beautiful city. I'm thinking of moving there or Austin in the future haha
Cool pics and video! It's only been a few years since I have been to Dallas but wow has Plano grown in that time, it's really noticeable in your video.
