Thread: DTD: 508 Park Avenue

*fingers crossed*

Historic 508 Park Avenue building can't be demolished yet 10:09 AM Fri, Nov 20, 2009 Rudolph Bush/Reporter http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/...enue-build.html On Thursday evening, the city plan commission denied a request to demolish two historic buildings on downtown's east side - the 508 Park Avenue building and an adjacent building at 1900 Young Street. But the plan commission did not entirely slam the door on Colby Properties...

This is really good news. Hopefully a donor will pop up and get their name on a new venue out of the deal.

What a waste. Blaming the homeless is a complete cop-out.

Perhaps this is Glazers way of forcing the city's hand to deal with the Stewpot / homeless problem in that area. Without something greatly changing that area and the vagrant issues, there really is not much that can be done. For some reason I feel like I've seen this property on Loopnet or Costar before, but I can't find it now. I am curious how much they are asking for it.

The Glazers own both lots on either side of 508 Park. In it's heyday, the building at the corner of Young and Park (1900 Young St) was an office and warehouse for Columbia Pictures.

This end of DTD will end up as sea of vacant parking lots until the city figures out its homeless problem... which is a much greater problem on that end of DTD.

I'll write a check for this project who do I make it out to?

Ridiculous. This better not happen.

Nice shots Justin Yes I agree as we get older I think we get les sbrave and stupid. Thats a good thing !!!
