Downtown Dallas Inc.

Bishop Arts District

N. Bishop Ave. at W. Davis St.
Mixed-Use Retail District

Evolving from a historic streetcar suburb in Oak Cliff, the Bishop Arts District is an emerging center of the art and culinary worlds in the city and region. Known as "Dallas' Most Independent Neighborhood", the charming low-density historic buildings that dominate the neighborhood are alive with eclectic local stores and restaurants, surrounded by marker spaces for artists and small producers. The recent extension of the Dallas Streetcar to the district's front door has improved accessibility and spurred new residential development.

Preston Center

W. Northwest Hwy. at Preston Rd.
Mixed-Use Retail District

One of the city's largest office centers outside of downtown, Preston Center is located between the Dallas North Tollway and Preston Rd., two of the region's most important north-south connections. Originally developed in the 1950s as a shopping center, the multi-block district has evolved with a growing number of office buildings, including headquarters locations for Energy Transfer Equity, Chief Oil & Gas, Sammons Enterprises, and many financial firms. The three million sq. ft. of office space is supported by nearly 500,000 sq. ft. of retail space, including DSW, Marshall's, Office Depot and Gold's Gym.

S. Lancaster Rd. between E. Illinois Ave. and E. Ledbetter Blvd.
Commercial District

Home to the Dallas VA Medical Center and the historic Lancaster-Kiest Shopping Center, the corridor spanning four DART light rail stations is one of the largest retail districts south of downtown Dallas. The historic shopping center dates from the 1940s, and recent development has added the Lancaster Urban Village mixed-use residential / retail project and the Serenity Place apartment buildings. Much of the corridor resides within the TOD TIF District.

Dallas Design District

Oak Lawn Ave. at Hi-Line Dr.
Mixed-Use Retail District

A unique location northwest of downtown along the original meanders of Trinity River, the Dallas Design District has transformed in the past decade from a quiet mix of warehouses and showrooms emerging from the city's leadership as a trade center to a booming mixed-use live-work-play neighborhood. Filled with art galleries, design showrooms, eclectic shops and locally-owned restaurants, the area now is also home to more than 2,500 residential units. The Trinity Strand Trail follows the riverbed and taps into the city's growing hike & bike network.
