New Dallas architecture firm lands high-profile project in West End
805 Elm St.
A newly launched firm, Line Design, has been selected as the design architect for the 805 Elm Street redevelopment by Sycamore Development, the project’s lead developer.
805 Elm is the $103-million adaptive reuse and new two-block redevelopment project in downtown Dallas that will bring 154 new multifamily units, a public landscape plaza, and ground-floor retail to two historic buildings and three adjacent parcels in the West End district.
The project will convert the historic Emerson-Brantingham building and adjacent lots into a transit-oriented community that includes:
- the adaptive reuse of the historic 805 Elm structure
- the rehabilitation of the 711 Elm parking garage
- a new six-story building
The project also features nearly 26,500 square feet of commercial space and a 25,700-square-foot public pedestrian plaza.
The Dallas City Council approved a $49 million incentive package for the project in December 2024.
Line Design was founded by architects Adam Jones, RA, and Taylor Cell, who bring a combined 40 years of experience to the practice. This will be their first company project, and they have support from Zachary Krochtengel of Sycamore Development.
“We have a huge appreciation for Line Design's commitment to preserving the history and character of our West End buildings while bringing modern innovation to this project,” Krochtengel says.
