    Crow Holding's stately Old Parkland Dallas campus tacks on one more

    Crow Holdings is adding one more building to its Old Parkland development on Maple Avenue in Dallas. It's a six-story office building at its highest point, with a three-level underground garage.

    Positioned at the north end of the 9.5-acre campus, it will be the final office building at Old Parkland. In keeping with the rest of the campus, the building will be classical in design and will include a thematic sculpture in the front plaza. Craig Hamilton, an architect from the United Kingdom, created the design, along with the Beck Group. It's British so it must be good! It's slated to open in the first quarter of 2019.

    The Old Parkland campus incorporates the historic buildings and grounds of the former Parkland Hospital, originally constructed in 1894. The redevelopment of the property began in 2006 and now features 334,000 square feet of master-planned Class-A office space and remarkable amenities.

    The heart of the campus is the 103-year-old Parkland Hospital that Crow Holdings preserved and renovated as its corporate headquarters. Crow also restored the Nurses Quarters, which originally served as the nurses' dormitory.

    Woodlawn Hall and Reagan Place were added to complement the original and historic landmark structures.

    Four buildings, collectively called the West Campus, include the copper-domed Parkland Hall, flanked by Oak Lawn Hall and Commonwealth Hall. Across the courtyard from these buildings is the Pavilion. Its design is inspired by Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and houses a large, underground debate chamber that hosts high school and collegiate debates as well as renowned speakers.

    Crow Holdings chairman and CEO Harlan Crow says that they already have commitments for approximately 40 percent of the office space.

    "We wanted this last building to complement the classical architecture on campus while creating something new and exciting, and we believe Craig Hamilton has done just that," Crow says in a release.

    The Jeffersonian style office buildings of the West Campus gives this corporate community what they describe as a collegial ambience. The buildings were platted in close proximity to foster interaction among tenants and visitors in the outdoor areas and community spaces. A collection of sculptures enhances the exterior experience and invites reflection on our national heritage.

    Crow Holdings’ investments in the Oak Lawn neighborhood also include the adjacent Maple Avenue District, which includes new restaurant concepts as well as extensive street and landscape improvements.

    Dallas makes Santa's nice list as 2nd most festive U.S. city in 2025

    Dallas sparkles and shines for the holidays.

    In merry and bright news, Dallas has landed a coveted spot near the top of a 2025 ranking of America's most festive cities.

    Home services platform Thumbtack analyzed holiday light installation requests from customers from October 2024 to 2025 to determine the most festive U.S. cities. Rankings were based on the "relative frequency" of requests after being adjusted for the population of each state and metro area.

    Dallas comes in at No. 2.

    Dallas has been resting easy at the top of Santa's nice list since 2022. But the city's festive spirit has yet to dethrone Austin, which has held on to the top spot for four years in a row.

    There's plenty of dazzling shows illuminating Dallas-Fort Worth for the holidays, including drive-thru light parks and CultureMap's very own ice rink at Main Street Garden in downtown Dallas.

    Other festive holiday events happening around Dallas include many more local ice rinks, pop-up bars, plus volunteer opportunities to give back to the local community. Readers can also keep up with all of Dallas' holiday happenings in CultureMap's season-long editorial series.

    Other big Texas cities like Houston and San Antonio also all landed top-10 spots, proving the Lone Star State is much more festive than the rest of the country.

    "From Texas to Florida, the South is setting the standard for holiday spirit, and in true Texas fashion, bigger is definitely brighter," the report said. "Mild winters and a strong sense of community keep the Lone Star State shining at the top."

    Thumbtack's top 10 most festive U.S. cities in 2024 are:

    • No. 1 – Austin, Texas
    • No. 2 – Dallas, Texas
    • No. 3 – Seattle, Washington
    • No. 4 – Las Vegas, Nevada
    • No. 5 – Sacramento, California
    • No. 6 – Houston, Texas
    • No. 7 – San Francisco, California
    • No. 8 – Charlotte, North Carolina
    • No. 9 – San Antonio, Texas
    • No. 10 – Atlanta, Georgia
