    Exhibit A Downtown Connection Tax Increment Financing District Project Plan & Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan ADOPTED – AUGUST 29, 2005 AMENDED – OCTOBER 19, 2005 AMENDED – MARCH 8, 2006 AMENDED – DECEMBER 12, 2007 AMENDED – OCTOBER 22, 2008 AMENDED – DECEMBER 10, 2008 AMENDED – FEBRUARY 11, 2009 AMENDED – APRIL 22, 2009 AMENDED – MAY 22, 2013 AMENDED – SEPTEMBER 11, 2013 AMENDED – DECEMBER 14, 2016 Section 1: Project Plan Background The Downtown Connection TIF District represents the outgrowth of the City of Dallas’ effort to create a downtown neighborhood with 10,000 plus residents, supporting retail establishments, adequate parks and open space, an attractive employment environment, and a variety of arts venues. The City of Dallas created the first tax increment financing (“TIF”) district for downtown, the City Center TIF District, in 1996. Its purpose was, and is, to create a fund for public capital improvements in the core of Downtown essential for redevelopment of key spaces and buildings. The City Center TIF District has collected $52 million, all of which has been spent or allocated, creating the beginning of a vibrant downtown. This existing TIF zone is expected to generate tax growth to fund approximately $29 million of remaining improvements from a total budget of $87.6 million (total budget includes parking revenue and interest earnings). City Center TIF District projects relying on future increment for reimbursement include Republic Center Tower I, the Interurban Building, Eureka/Joule Hotel, Fidelity Union Tower (Mosaic), 1200 Main, 1608 Main, Dallas County Plaza and affordable housing. In May 2003, the City Center TIF District Board of Directors attended a workshop to assess the direction in which unallocated TIF funds should be spent.

  • 2008 Transit-Oriented Development News Media Articles
    Dallas Morning News January 11, 2008 Transit-oriented developments spring up near DART stops By STEVE BROWN / The Dallas Morning News Off Walnut Hill Lane in northeast Dallas, demolition crews are making quick work of a sprawling neighborhood of crummy apartments. In place of the crime-ridden units, developers will soon put up an urban village centered around a new commuter rail station. In years past, that Lake Highlands property might have wound up being used for just more apartments or a strip shopping center or even single-family homes. But that was before developers caught on to the benefits of mass transit. "One of the most important aspects of our overall project is having the ability to have mass transit in the development," said Vance Detwiler, managing director of Prescott Realty Group, which is building the new Lake Highlands Town Center. "In theory, you can build your projects more dense and have a little less parking." In just over a decade since the commuter rail system opened in Dallas, real estate projects that have sprung up around some of the stations have gotten bigger and more complicated. They are called transit-oriented developments, or TODs. And these projects are the real estate development's version of the iPod. They are the hot gadget that's remaking the business of building retail, residential and commercial space. Early TODs like Mockingbird Station and even West Village in Uptown showed developers that these complexes resonated with consumers. The two newest such developments take the idea to the infinite degree. The 33-acre Park Lane complex under construction adjacent to DART's Park Lane rail station will cost three-quarters of a billion dollars to complete.
