Work Begins on Development on Former ‘Leaning Tower of Dallas’ Site

De La Vega Development and StreetLights Residential broke ground on a 27-acre mixed-use development between Carroll Avenue and Haskell Avenue along U.S. 75 on the former site of the Leaning Tower of Dallas. 

Phase I will have a park in the center of the site and a 321-unit apartment building called The Oliver that will have studio and one-and-two-bedroom floor plans.

Amenities will include a pool, fitness center, coworking space, resident lounge, and dog park.

Steve Williamson, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Retail and Urban Land Services at Transwestern, facilitated the land sale between De La Vega Development and Streetlights Residential.

The multifamily community is being developed with Mitsui Fudosan America.

Phase I will deliver in December 2023.

Future phases of The Central will include more than 4 million square feet of office, residential, retail, and restaurant space with dedicated open green spaces and event areas.
