Dallas' newest office building in Harwood District will be 27 stories tall

Soon, we will rename the city of Dallas "Harwood."

Harwood District

The ever-expanding Harwood District juxtaposed between downtown and Uptown Dallas has another high-rise building in the works.

Called Harwood No. 14, it's the newest office tower from Harwood International, and will be located at Hunt Street and Harry Hines Boulevard.

At 27 stories tall, it'll also be the tallest, and it already has a tenant: Haynes and Boone, Dallas' largest law firm, has signed a lease and will relocate into the building in 2023. Haynes and Boone will be the seventh Am Law 100 firm in the Harwood District.

According to D, the firm has leased 125,000 square feet. The building will break ground in winter 2020.

"With the District currently at 98 percent leased, we are pleased to keep up with demand for office space in Harwood," says a statement from Harwood International.

Alexis Barbier-Mueller, Harwood International managing director told D that Harwood No. 14 was in response to the demand for office space. Harwood No. 10, completed in 2019, is nearly full at 90 percent leased. And there are plans for a 42-story tower at Caroline and Field streets.

Design
Similar to other Harwood buildings, Harwood No. 14 will feature landscaped plateaux, outdoor pocket gardens, and rooftop sky garden, as well as a two-story lobby and nine levels of parking.

The design and architecture teams behind Harwood No. 14 are Dallas-based HDF; Dallas-based Corgan; and Tokyo-based architect Kengo Kuma and Associates, who built the Rolex Building in 2018.

Amenities
The office tower will present "several avant-garde amenities for tenants" including a fitness center with locker rooms and showers, and a multi-purpose center for conferences and catered events.

There'll be 12,000 square feet for restaurants, joining the ever-growing portfolio of eateries from Harwood Hospitality Group, such established names as Mercat Bistro, Dolce Riviera, The Grove at Harwood, Happiest Hour, Magnolias: Sous Le Pont, Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens, Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar, and Te Deseo, along with new concepts still TK including La Rue Perdue, the street-level "village" that will be home to Harwood Arms Pub.

Haggard Farm news

Massive retail village with restaurant and event barn to debut in Plano

A 180,000-square-foot “retail village” is about to be born in Plano.

The village will debut this fall at the more than $750 million Haggard Farm mixed-use development, along with 350 apartments, 188 townhomes, and a three-acre park. Haggard Farm sits at Spring Creek Parkway and Parkwood Boulevard in Plano.

A farm-to-table restaurant and an event barn will anchor the village, being developed by Stillwater Capital in partnership with The Retail Connection and WoodHouse.

WoodHouse will introduce two original concepts: a farm-to-table restaurant called Almanac and an event space called Haggard Hall. Stillwater says the 17,500-square-foot event barn, made of mass timber, is “inspired by the role Texas dance halls once played as community gathering places.”

Haggard Hall will accommodate more than 600 guests across the main hall, private dining rooms, and event lawns.

“Our history as music venue, club, and restaurant operators has made us keenly aware of the collective chemistry that transforms a neighborhood into a destination,” W. Brandt Wood, partner and director of experience at WoodHouse, says in a release. “Haggard Farm will greet its visitors with immersive, authentic, and interconnected experiences throughout the district.”

Stillwater Capital says more tenants will be revealed soon. Over half of the spaces at the retail village are already leased.

The retail village will offer “a distinctive mix of dining, wellness, hospitality, apparel, and home furnishing operators,” the developer says.

The entire development will span 142 acres. Aside from the retail and residential components, Haggard Farm will feature a boutique hotel and up to 600,000 square feet of office space.

Clay Roby, managing director of Stillwater Capital, says Haggard Farm’s lawns, gardens, and water features will complement farmers markets, seasonal festivals, and community concerts.

“Haggard Farm is one of DFW’s most exciting projects — a curated collection of shopping, dining, hospitality, and residential components inspired by the unique character of this land and delivered as a single cohesive environment,” Roby says in the release.
