Two New High-Risers Are in the Works for North Dallas' Preston Center
Developers are detailing plans for two new towers planned in North Dallas’ Preston Center district. Rosebriar Holdings and Burk Interests announced the high-rises earlier this year on almost 1.5 acres they own along Westchester Drive just east of the Dallas North Tollway.
The developers are seeking zoning to build the two towers with residential, retail and hotel space on the site near Preston Road. It’s one of the largest developments in the works for Preston Center — an area where previous new construction plans have drawn the ire of North Dallas homeowners. Rosebriar Holdings and Burk Interests presented detailed plans for their projects to area stakeholders on Thursday night. Dallas architects GFF and HKS designed the two buildings.
“This is a very exciting project that will set the tone for high-quality redevelopment in Preston Center,” said attorney William Dahlstrom, who represents the developers in negotiations with the city. “This will be a landmark development for Preston Center and Dallas.”
The proposed high-rises will replace a three-story office and single-story retail building along the west side of Westchester. One residential tower will have 255 apartments and will be developed by Burk Interests. The other building on the corner will have 240 hotel rooms and 90 condos with ground-floor restaurant and retail space.
“Rather than having additional office on this site, we are bringing in residential and hotel uses,” said Evan Beattie of GFF. “At the center of the site where the two properties come together, there will be a significant open space...”
