Newly renovated The Quad in Uptown Dallas flings open its doors

The restoration is finished, the day has arrived: The Quad, a mixed-use development in Uptown Dallas, is ready to roll, following a major renovation that included the construction of a new office tower plus new restaurants and retail.

Formerly known as the Quadrangle, it was Dallas' first mixed-use development dating back to 1966. It just got a makeover from Dallas-based Stream Realty, who bought the complex in 2019.

Located at 2699 Howell St., the Quad now encompasses a 12-story, 345,425-square-foot office tower complemented by five standalone retail buildings, along with an "urban lawn" and The Quad Club, a penthouse amenity center with full-service bar, lounge, conference center, and rooftop terrace.

It also has the largest indoor high-resolution digital art installation in Texas.

The property will incorporate seven on-site eateries, slated to open in the fall, including Two Hands, an all-day café; LDU, an Australian coffee bar; Written By The Seasons, a spinoff of the Oak Cliff farm-to-table restaurant; Domodomo, a chef-driven dock-to-table concept; Mamani, a modern European fine-dining restaurant; Crushcraft, Thai street food concept; and Bread Club, an upscale bakery.

Stream has already signed four tenants totaling 115,000 square feet, including Revantage, Chicago Title, M Financial, and Berkshire Residential. They offer testimonials:

  • “The amenities at and around The Quad give us the freedom to enjoy a meal with clients, go to a team happy hour, or hit the gym—all at our doorstep,” says Chicago Title ops director Clark Pulliam. “Its central location and accessibility to major thoroughfares make it an ideal choice for our employees.”
  • “We are thrilled to open a new office in the vibrant Dallas market," says Revantage CEO Matt Demonte. "The Quad is the perfect fit for our employees with its best-in-class sustainability, smart building features, and state-of-the-art amenities.”

The credits include: Stream Senior Director Brad Dornak, Senior Director of Design and Construction Jerry Mays, Director of Design and Construction Blake Bell, and Stream Executive Managing Director & Partner Ramsey March. Stream Senior Vice President Ryan Evanich and Vice President Marissa Parkin handle leasing for the property. Other key partners: architectural firm Omniplan and contractor Austin Commercial.

“The delivery of The Quad represents a significant milestone for Stream and underscores our commitment to creating innovative and highly amenitized spaces in prime areas like Uptown,” March says in a statement. “We are thrilled to introduce this exceptional development to our hometown market.”

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.
