The Dallas City Plan and Zoning Commission is expected to vote Thursday on an $800 million development proposed near Preston Road and Royal Lane, which has drawn opposition from several Northwest Dallas neighborhood groups.
Project Details
The project would include retail, restaurants, condominiums, apartments and a five-star hotel. Its tallest building would be a 19-story condominium tower reaching 240 feet.
Nearby residents have organized through a coalition called D13 Together, arguing that the tower is too tall for an area where current zoning limits building height to 54 feet. Opponents said they support development at the site but want the height reduced.
Developer Leland Burk said the development team responded to community concerns by lowering the project’s maximum height by 85 feet.
“We appreciate the many supporters who shared their enthusiasm for this quality development and we look forward to presenting our case to the Dallas Plan Commission on Thursday,” Burk said.
If the project advances, it would later require a vote by the Dallas City Council. No council vote has been scheduled.
