September 4, 2009

The CEO of a local homebuilding company has purchased a two-building office complex on Turtle Creek in Dallas with plans to hold the property for a future residential high-rise project.

Randall Van Wolfswinkel, CEO of First Texas Homes, bought the former Republic Insurance buildings at 2727 Turtle Creek Blvd. from an affiliate of Trammell Crow Residential. Crow Residential had owned the 5.5-acre property since 2005 and had designed two residential towers for it.

But the recession and housing downturn put an end to those plans.

Cowboys, Paul McCartney tickets help Dallas Cowboys Stadium retake number one in venues rankings

By Kelly McWilliams / Ticket News
August 18, 2009

Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX made a resurgence this week as it once again took number one in TicketNews’s exclusive venues rankings for the week ending Sunday, August 16. The Stadium, home to the popular Dallas Cowboys, (at number three in this week’s Top Sports Events rankings), is scheduled also to host a game between the Texas Longhorns (at number five in Top Sports this week) and the North Carolina Tar Heels in December. Surely boosting the numbers this week is an appearance by Paul McCartney set for later this week and an upcoming date for U2 (at number four in TicketNews’s Top Concert Events) in October. Dallas Cowboys Stadium finished the week with a power score of 3.14.

Ticket sales for the long running hit musical Wicked kept the Gershwin Theatre in New York City strong in the rankings this week, up three to the number two position. With a power score of 2.67, the Gershwin benefits from the show’s ability to bring in impressive receipts, and this week found Wicked once again dominating TicketNews’s Top Broadway Events, Top Theater Events, and Top Combined Events rankings.

Construction is under way on the security gate in George and Laura Bush's Preston Hollow neighborhood, and the former president is going to pay the tab – although the cost is unclear.

The project comes about six months after the Bushes moved into their newly renovated home and made visible efforts to become part of the neighborhood.

They took Barney on walks – and picked up after him. They visited students at nearby Pershing Elementary School. They posed for pictures with Boy Scouts.

A Texas-Size Stadium

By Richard Sandomir / The New York Times
July 16, 2009

ARLINGTON, Tex. — Jerry Jones, tour guide, was showing off.

Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, gestured as he drove his Lincoln Town Car around his billion-dollar stadium with the sloping glass exterior that reflects the colors of the sky, his team and his eyes.

He pointed out the views of the field and the gargantuan, 72-by-160-foot dual video screens fans will discover as they approach the gates. He explained how the retractable glass end zone doors were designed to slide away and — in mere minutes — allow in the Texas air.

Newsweek names HPHS among best in U.S.

Highland Park High School is listed this month among the top high schools in the nation by Newsweek magazine. Newsweek includes HPHS, ranked number 23, for its students' participation on Advanced Placement exams.

This is the sixth year Highland Park High School has made Newsweek's "Top 100" listing. HPHS is the highest ranked comprehensive high school in Texas, outscored only by magnet and charter campuses.

Newsweek's article, "America's Best High Schools," compiled a listing of 1,500 high schools, with public schools ranked according to a ratio that divides the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests taken schoolwide by the number of graduating seniors in the school.

Using that ratio, Highland Park High School scored a 6.108, up from 6.035 in 2008, and 5.727 in 2007.

"We are excited to be named to Newsweek's list of the best high schools in America once again," said HPHS Principal Patrick Cates. "This recognition validates the work our students and teachers do every year in our Advanced Placement program. Our program is one of the largest in the country, and we believe that it prepares students for success in any college or university anywhere. This ranking brings honor to our school, our school district, and our communities."

Going Modern in Texas

By NANCY KEATES

Dallas

Some residential suburban communities insist on tiled roofs; others dictate color palettes and lot sizes. Often, the goal is to capture the look of a time in the past, before modern living and high housing costs changed tastes and materials.

But a small number of new developments is taking the opposite tack. Here, buried amongst a middle-class community and near the Central Expressway, is a street where the construction of Colonials and Tudors is expressly forbidden. Even mid-century modern is considered passé. "Make no mistake. It's a dictatorship and I make the rules," project developer Diane Cheatham says half-jokingly.

The result is Urban Reserve, a 13-acre development devoted to contemporary design. Pass a neighborhood of standard issue brick tract ranches and turn onto Vanguard Way and suddenly one confronts what looks like scene from a science fiction movie.

North Texas waterways anchor cities' pride, vision

May 15, 2009

By JUDY WILEY / Special Contributor to The Dallas Morning News

One is a beloved historic river with a brilliant new attraction incorporating 12 art installations and parks designed for soothing reconnection to the waterway. The other is a smartly designed canal created out of optimism for a prairie city with a tragic past.

Luckily for North Texans, both the San Antonio River Walk and Oklahoma City's Bricktown Canal are less than a day's drive away and also accessible by train – ideal for a long weekend. They're as different as a slice of tres leches cake and a wedge of apple pie, which adds to the fun of planning summer getaways.
