Downtown Dallas Office Space – More Affordable than you think

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Downtown Dallas office space is very affordable compared to other areas of Dallas. Some of the newer buildings are definitely more expensive but some of the towers such as the Bank of America Plaza and Renaissance tower with prices ranging from $17.00 to $23.00 per square foot are on par with office space throughout the Metroplex.

Some of the buildings in downtown offer much lower rates such as the Republic Center, One Main Place and 1700 pacific have rates as low as $12.00 to $14.00 per Sqft.

There’s a lot of office space available in these areas and Landlords are always willing to negotiate. For information about Downtown Dallas office space contact Richard @ 214-295-4888 or Do a Custom Commercial Real Estate Search.

Trinity River project in Dallas, Is it going to happen?

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Is the trinity river project going to happen? They’ve been talking about it for over 40 years but it really seems like it might happen very soon. That’s what a lot of developers are banking on. There’s still a lot of unknowns such as how big the park will be and if and where the tollway will go but that hasn’t stopped them from buying up land.

A lot of developers are holding off on starting anything until the Nov 6th vote about the tollway happens. Many large developers have been buying up the land around the trinity river including the City of Dallas. Over the past decade and especially more recently the city has been buying land through condemnation or eminent domain. This basically means that the government has the right to take over property at fair market value for public use. This gives you some clue of what’s about to happen. The Dallas housing authority and the city of Dallas are the largest land owners of the trinity river at a combined estimated value of $103 Million.

Here’s a list of the top 10 land owners of trinity river property: Source Dallas Morning News
1. Dallas Housing Authority $56,200,000
2. City of Dallas $47,351,560
3. Kessler Park Ltd Ps $32,617,000
4. Asian Lavalencia Ltd $28,625,000
5. Dallas Twin Towers LLC $28,214,120
6. Cowperwood Dallas LLP $24,239,810
7. Elman Stemmons Assoc LP 416,188,230
8. H2O Warehouse Lp $16,188,230
9. Mobil Oil Corp $15,419,290
10. Westvan Properties Ltd $14,866,180

Right now one of the biggest obstacles until anything gets started, is the parcel of land that happens to be the electrical transmission right away owned by Oncor. These transmission lines send power to the city. It also happens to be right where the $69 Million Santiago Calatrava Designed bridge is supposed to go.

Oncor and the city have been going back and forth on negotiations because the city wants the transmission lines to be moved under ground and Oncor doesn’t want to pay for it because it’s going to cost a lot of money. Neither side really wants to pay for it. Although this has been going on for years they don’t expect any delays and an agreement should be reached soon.

We’ll see if anything happens anytime soon but if it does it will change the face of Downtown and Oakcliff real estate forever.

Dallas

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Despite the economic difficulties affecting the country, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area continues to flourish. The region offers some of the best residential housing values in the U.S. and a ready availability of well paying jobs for the career minded. Research indicates that over six million new residents will populate the Metroplex area over the next two decades and nearly three million new housing units will be added.

Furthermore, it is expected that some 70,000 jobs will be added annually at least through 2009. In fact, 78,000 jobs have materialized in the area through August, 2007, primarily due to the high concentration of corporate giants located within the Dallas/Fort Worth region, and the fact that Dallas/Fort Worth is an important international trade and foreign investment center.

Currently, the average price of a four bedroom, 2,200 square feet, two-and-a-half bath pre-owned single family home, with family room and two car garage in Dallas is $302,198. Although lower in price than most similar homes in quality neighborhoods of major cities, which average prices of over $400,000, Dallas is still more expensive than Fort Worth, where the same home
