    Construction is underway on M-Line Tower, the 20-story luxury residential building going in at 3200 McKinney Ave., where Cafe Express used to be. The tower will house 262 units, plus ground floor retail anchored by a new Cafe Express and a new McKinney Avenue Transit Authority (MATA) trolley barn and executive office.

     

    Joel Behrens, principal of Trammell Crow Company and MATA board member, says that they're thrilled to have broken ground after more than two years of predevelopment work, including working with the nonprofit McKinney Avenue Transit Authority to provide additional space for the expansion of the trolley service in Uptown.

     

    "M-Line Tower is located in the heart of Dallas' most walkable and culturally vibrant 24-hour live, work, and play neighborhoods," he says in a release.

     

    M-Line Tower will take up 1.28 acres at the corner of McKinney Avenue and Bowen Street and will feature one- and two-bedroom luxury rentals. Amenities will include a pool; two-story fitness center; outdoor living space; clubroom; business center; and rooftop sky lounge with views of downtown, Uptown, and Turtle Creek.

     

    The southeast corner of the ground floor will provide a new trolley barn and executive offices for the M-Line trolley. High Street Residential, the residential subsidiary of Trammell Crow, and partner Principal Real Estate Investors will provide MATA with an allowance for a seventh trolley car, 1,730 square feet of space, a build-out allowance for its new space, and new trolley tracks and switch along Bowen Street.

     

    Cafe Express originally opened on that corner in 1996. Vice president John Attra said that the reopening will happen in 2017. There are two other Dallas locations of Cafe Express, at Mockingbird Station and Lovers Lane.

    Inwood Design Center in Dallas Design District due for major makeover

    Inwood Design Center

    A center in Dallas' Design District is about to get a major makeover: M2G Ventures, a DFW real estate investment and development company, is repositioning the former Inwood Design Center, a 14-building 740,000-square-foot complex at 1110 Inwood Rd. into a two-pronged design complex with restaurants and retail.

    According to a release, the rebranding will introduce two distinct identities which will operate "independently but harmoniously."

    • Inwood Design District, nickname IDD, will be for showroom and industrial use
    • Ace on Inwood, AKA Ace, will be for retail and restaurant

    "IDD" comprises 630,000 square feet, with spaces ranging from 2,500- to 40,000-square-foot floorplates for showroom and light industrial use, with up to 24-foot clear heights.

    Ace on Inwood will be a 109,233-square-foot retail building with spaces ranging from 1,193 to 6,000 square feet, for restaurants, retail, services, wellness and boutique concepts, with a focus on home furnishing uses to complement the existing base in the area. Patio space and endcaps will provide further opportunity for placemaking and activation.

    Construction is about to begin with completion targeted for the end of 2025.

    Project enhancements will include upgraded façades and storefronts, branding and signage, enhanced parking, and layered landscaping. Art strewn in unexpected places will include colorful visual moments, 3D illusions, or interactive installations, serving as visual landmarks and encouraging walkability and discovery.

    In a statement, M2G Ventures co-founder Jessica Miller Essl calls it "one of the most dynamic projects we have been a part of."

    “This modern evolution takes the property from industrial to a premier mixed-use campus at a location that bridges the Design District and Brookhollow submarkets,” Essl says. "We anticipate bringing both districts into their new lives. By creating two distinct projects under one collective vision, our team can create two best-in-market projects in their respective peer sets."

    M2G has done similar projects in the past 10 years including the Foundry District in Fort Worth, a creative repositioning of a warehouse district into showrooms, retail, food and beverage, and creative office; and Proto Park in Dallas, a mid-century warehouse transformed into an industrial destination; M2G has since exited both projects.

    The design team for the project includes Ibañez Shaw Architecture as architect, RSM Design for environmental graphics, Paper Kites Studio for landscape architecture, Katie Murray for art curation, Ramble Creative for branding, and SHOP Companies’ Jake Sherrington and Victoria Pappas for lleasing the retail component of Ace on Inwood.
