    The Last Major Vacant Building in Downtown Dallas Will Undergo Redevelopment. This News Marks a Huge Turning Point for Downtown.

    By the end of 2020, Downtown Dallas will no longer have a single major vacant building, which marks a major shift for the area. In the late 1990’s there were 42 vacant buildings in downtown, but now the tower at 1401 Elm Street, which is the last vacant building in the neighborhood, will undergo a major renovation. Once renovated, the property will be designated as mixed-use, with space for office, a restaurant, hotel, and residential expected. More importantly, this development will serve as a stimulant for bold, new projects that will shift the downtown market’s attention to infill development. Expect the amount of office and retail space in downtown Dallas to continue to steadily increase for the foreseeable future.
