Plano gives thumbs down on Bush Turnpike mixed-use project

The south side of the tract would include the office space and hotel.There was a small park in the middle of the development, according to plans by Dallas-based architect GFF.Attorney William Dahlstrom, who represented the developers, told plan commissioners the project would benefit from the new DART commuter rail line connecting the area with DFW International Airport.“There is no other site in Plano with this opportunity,” Dahlstrom said. “This whole area is transforming.
