The Committee voted send the proposal forward for presentation to the full council April 27.

The proposal calls for the redevelopment of the historic downtown Dallas building that once completed will include approximately 26,000 square feet of retail space and 66,000 square feet of office space. Redevelopment of this site is an important link in the pedestrian connection between the Latino Cultural Center, Deep Ellum, the Arts District and the Downtown core.

The proposal also creates a pedestrian destination at a light rail station and enhances Carpenter Park. Developers are also in discussions with TxDOT to remove an off ramp from US-75 to improve vehicular access to the site from Live Oak Street.
