    Midway Hollow: A blend of home styles with a strong sense of community

    There are so many great places to live in Dallas that it helps to have an expert on your side. The Neighborhood Guide presented by Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty gives you insider access from the agents who live and work there, providing in-the-know info about your possible new community.

    ---

    Looking for a mix of more established homes and new-builds? You'll find it in Midway Hollow, just north of Dallas Love Field Airport and west of Preston Hollow.

    Real estate agent Jennifer Shindler has lived there for seven years, enticed by its central location and nearby amenities. However, she has been introducing others to the neighborhood for nearly 17 years.

    "I love the sense of community, character, large lot sizes, mature trees, and the different types of architecture throughout the neighborhood," says Shindler.

    Shindler offered up a few of her personal favorites about life in Midway Hollow. Here's her guide to the area:

    Where to eat & drink
    The neighborhood is conveniently located to a wide range of restaurants in Preston Center, Preston and Royal, and Lovers Lane, with Claremont Neighborhood Grill being a particular favorite. There is also a nearby Central Market for convenient gourmet groceries.

    Where to play
    "Midway Hollow is definitely a nice place to go on neighborhood walks under a canopy of trees," says Shindler. "You'll see plenty of kids out playing and dogs being walked. It’s also fun to cross Midway Road and walk the hills of Old Preston Hollow."

    Being so close to Dallas Love Field Airport means easy access to the Frontiers of Flight Museum, and Bachman Lake is also nearby.

    Where to live
    Shindler points out that most of the neighborhood's original homes are 1950s ranch-style, with some midcentury modern homes sprinkled in here and there. There is also a lot of new construction that runs the gamut from traditional to transitional to contemporary.

    One such transitional is 3924 Gaspar Dr., a recent sale by the agent.

    The open floor plan has abundant natural light with views of the pool and landscaped yard — ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features marble countertops, an eat-in island, six-burner range, and a walk-in pantry. The primary suite has views of the pool along with an oversized shower, double sinks, and vanity area.

    Downstairs reveals a guest bedroom with ensuite bath, a study, powder room, utility room, and dining room that can double as a second seating area. Upstairs opens to a game room with views of the tree-lined street. Adjacent to the game room is a media room with a built-in bar area and beverage cooler.

    Jennifer Shindler lives, works, and plays in Midway Hollow. For more information on buying and selling a home in the area, click here, email jshindler@briggsfreeman.com, or call 214-215-5181.

    Dallas Arts Tower downtown to get a re-do and new all-day cafe

    Dallas Arts Tower

    A downtown Dallas building is receiving a big-dollar renovation: Fortis Property Group has broken ground on a re-do at Dallas Arts Tower, a 55-story office building at 2200 Ross Ave. in the Dallas Arts District that will include updates, valet service, and a new cafe.

    According to a release, the multi-million-dollar capital improvement project broke ground in late June, and consists of modernizing building components. Renovations include:

    • transformation of the main lobby, with new flooring, lighting, furniture, upgraded elevator lobbies, and interiors
    • new all-day café in the northwest corner of the lobby, offering breakfast, lunch, craft coffee, and bar service during happy hour, with indoor and outdoor seating
    • new elevator interiors throughout the tower
    • enhancement of a second-floor mezzanine lounge area with updated flooring, lighting, and furnishings

    On the exterior, a new LED lighting package will be installed to enhance the building’s nighttime presence.

    Valet parking service will also be introduced in the building’s motor court, as part of the project.

    Fortis Property Group Chief Investment Officer Terrence Storey says that the renovations "reflect our vision to offer an elevated, amenity-rich environment in one of Dallas’ most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods."

    Stream has served as the exclusive leasing agent for Dallas Arts Tower since 2016, and Executive VP & Partner J.J. Leonard says that the renovation plans have already "sparked tremendous interest" resulting in new leases signed or in progress.

    The current renovation follows a 2019 capital improvement plan that introduced a redesigned front plaza, an 8,000-square-foot fitness center, a 150-seat conference facility, and a reimagined Sky Lobby on the 40th floor with conference rooms, executive boardroom, and lounge areas.
