New development in Uptown Dallas will embrace beautiful old building

Construction has begun on Maple Terrace, a new mixed-use development in Uptown Dallas that will be home to a Chicago-bred steakhouse, along with office space, luxury apartment building, and various outdoor amenities.

The project is from Hines, an international real estate firm, along with partners Mitsui Fudosan America and McNair Interests, and is anticipated to open in 2023.

The centerpiece will be Maple Terrace, a century-old apartment building at 3001 Maple Ave. that has housed celebrities such as Judy Garland, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, and Liza Minnelli. Hines bought the building in 2020 from Dallas-​based Exxir Capital, which had been the owner since 2010.

The 1925 seven-story building will be carefully restored by Dallas-based architects, 5G Studio Collaborative, while two new glass-encased levels will rise behind it, with an open-air rooftop lounge and terrace and a nine-story glass curtain wall system that overlooks a 9,000-square-foot urban garden.

Hines Managing Director Ben Brewer says in a statement that the company is honored to reimagine this Dallas landmark into a multi-faceted Uptown destination.

"Maple Terrace's timeless architecture will be celebrated and merged with state-of-the-art design, luxury amenities and dining options to create a place for everyone to experience," Brewer says.

The Offices at Maple Terrace will feature spacious floor plans complete with ceilings up to 17’ and amenities such as a lobby lounge and library bar, fitness center, boardroom, Trackman golf simulator, valet parking, and lush green spaces, including a park and a special events garden lounge.

The location also offers walkable access to restaurants, retail, and hotels, as well recreational sites such as the Katy Trail and Reverchon Park.

Adjacent to The Offices will be The Residences at Maple Terrace, a 22-story residential tower with 345 luxury apartment homes ranging from 601 to 2,879 square feet, and its own set of amenities that include a fitness center, pool deck, outdoor dog park, and 22nd floor conservatory and rooftop terrace. Parking will include a partially subterranean, seven-story garage.

Maple Terrace will also be home to Maple & Ash, the steakhouse from Chicago hospitality group What If Syndicate, with plans for an additional restaurant forthcoming.

Hines Director Corbin Eckel says that "Maple Terrace presents a unique opportunity to create an all-encompassing live, work and play destination in the heart of Uptown."

"Delivering future-proofed, sustainable, buildings has been deeply rooted in the firm's DNA for six decades, and we’re honored to be able to preserve the legacy of Maple Terrace, while bringing a modernized experience that’s relevant for hopefully another 100 years," Eckel says.

Retail boom in fast-growing Forney fueled by massive mixed-use development

The Village at Gateway is a booming retail complex in Forney.

Frisco's not the only North Texas city experiencing a retail explosion right now. Forney's getting in on the action, too.

A Dick’s Sporting Goods store will join EVO Entertainment and other new tenants at The Village at Gateway mixed-use development in the booming Kaufman County city, according to a release.

Dick’s hasn’t announced an opening date for the 60,000-square-foot store. The retailer operates more than 10 locations in DFW.

The 82,000-square-foot EVO location will be an all-in-one entertainment venue. Think Dave & Buster’s meets Alamo Drafthouse. (Fun facts: Dave & Buster’s headquarters is in Coppell, while Alamo Drafthouse is based in Austin.)

The Forney venue will feature:

  • Nine movie theaters, including one IMAX auditorium and two EVX auditoriums
  • A full-service bar and restaurant
  • An upper-level lounge area
  • Event and conference spaces
  • 22 bowling lanes
  • More than 125 arcade games
  • Rock-climbing walls
  • A multilevel ropes course
  • Bumper cars
  • Laser tag

An opening date for the EVO location hasn’t been set, although EVO previously said it would be ready this fall. It’ll be the first North Texas venue operated by Austin-based EVO after locations in Addison, Southlake, and Waxahachie rebranded as Hooky Entertainment under new ownership.

Construction of the EVO venue kicked off in January.

Developed by Dallas-based StreetLevel Investments, the Village at Gateway also will welcome other new tenants such as:

  • Luna Grill, a Mediterranean restaurant (October opening date).
  • Forney Nail Bar (October opening date).
  • Handel’s Ice Cream (future opening date).
  • Costa Vida, a Mexican restaurant (future opening date).

“The Village at Gateway is an exciting milestone for Forney, bringing new jobs, shopping, and dining opportunities while continuing to strengthen our local economy,” Forney Mayor Jason Roberson says in the release.

Tenants already open at the 152-acre development include:

  • Target
  • Home Depot
  • H-E-B
  • BJ’s Wholesale Club
  • Five Below
  • Burlington
  • Ross Dress for Less
  • James Avery
  • Bath & Body Works

“Forney is one of the fastest‑growing communities in the Dallas area, with exceptional schools, strong employment, and a rapidly expanding population — yet it has long been underserved when it comes to convenient, high‑quality retail and dining,” says Brian Murphy, managing principal at StreetLevel Investments.

From April 2020 to July 2025, Forney’s population soared by 79 percent to nearly 41,700, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas and the U.S.

A report released in January 2025 by OpenDoor revealed Forney’s 75126 ZIP code claimed the No. 6 ranking as the hottest U.S. housing market in 2024 for the second year in a row. It was the only North Texas ZIP code to make the top 10.

Forney failed to crack the top 10 in OpenDoor’s 2026 report, though. The only DFW ZIP code appearing in the latest top 10 is McKinney’s 75071, landing at No. 8.
