I cannot find an official number online, maybe we'll get a fun PR piece updating the numbers in 2016. There have been a bevy of projects that have now opened that were in construction or being drawn back in 2010 so 10K is a safe bit. There is also a group of several hundred units opening in 2016 that have been under construction / development for the past 2-3 years. FYI - 10,000 was the key number the experts like ULI stated was key to get downtown to be a true neighborhood that would sustain its own retail. Well..... there is a number of retail outlets opening in the next few years including the very upscale 4510 across from the original Neiman Marcus.

Yes this is about right. I don't know the last time these links where updated but you can find a map where you can look at each neighborhood in the Dallas core to get an idea of where it is and where its going in regards to population.

This is the spreadsheet of just the CBD for example.

Assuming a 7% vacancy rate, the current population can be estimated to be 9,014. When current units under construction are complete it will be about 11,833. Looking at all downtown plus surrounding neighborhoods (Victory, Uptown, etc), the population is estimated at 39,884 and projected to be 48,601 when current projects are complete.
