    Historic West End Dallas mixed-use complex gets familiar new owner

    A historic building in Dallas' historic West End has a familiar new owner: Five Smooth Stones, a real estate company that specializes in renovation, just acquired Market Ross Place, a mixed-used combination of three buildings located at 1701 N. Market St.

    Five Smooth Stones is led by Owen Hannay, Dallas native and West End enthusiast who first began investing in the neighborhood in 2000, and is now making a return to the historic area to breathe in new life.

    “We have had a lot of success in the West End over the past 25 years but, like many other districts, it tends to be cyclical, so we find ourselves with a lot of opportunity to improve the West End — again," Hannay says in a statement.

    Market Ross Place consists of three buildings connected by a five-story atrium, comprising four restaurants and office space totaling approximately 142,000 square feet. It was built in 1905 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Hannay also bought three retail buildings across from Market Ross, a parcel that includes the Museum of Illusions; the former Gators restaurant; and a building containing Mas Tacos and Cannon Bakery. He also bought the West End Parking Garage, which includes 35,000 square feet of retail and more than 650 parking spaces on six levels.

    These acquisitions closed in March 2026.

    Hannay, who also owns Dallas ad agency Slingshot LLC, first began investing in the West End when he acquired the Awalt Building at 208 N. Market St. in 2000. He went on to buy other West End properties such as a three-building portfolio at Elm and North Record streets, giving him one of the largest stakes in the neighborhood, with ownership of nearly one quarter of the 1 million square feet of office space in the area.

    Over the years, Five Smooth Stones has purchased and renovated almost 1,000,000 square feet of historic office and retail space in The West End.

    One of their most high-profile purchases was the Landmark Center, the six-story building at 1801 N. Lamar St. that was formerly a regional center for the FBI and also served as the first office HQ for CultureMap Dallas when the site launched in 2012. Five Smooth Stones bought it in 2004, renovated it, sold to Argus Realty Investors LP in 2006 — then bought it back again in 2023.

    The Landmark Center is one of many properties in the West End that has undergone multiple ownership changes, bouncing from local companies like Five Smooth Stones to institutional companies like Granite Properties — often with less than ideal results.

    “When we sold our holdings in the West End in 2015, office occupancy in the district was probably over 90 percent," Hannay says. "We intend to get there again by proving that businesses want high-quality, well priced, centrally located historic space that exists in a genuine neighborhood that provides a human scale to live in, work in, and play in."

    To that end, Five Smooth Stones has signed several new lease agreements in the Landmark Center, as well as facilitating the comeback of Ellen's Restaurant into its old space at Market Ross.

    The new office tenants at Landmark include:

    • The Law Offices of Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP, a leading law firm, leasing almost 16,000 sq ft
    • HighLevel Inc., a marketing technology company with 15,700 sq ft on the fifth and sixth floors
    • Benchmark Group Architects, with 7,500 sq ft on the first floor
    • The Houston Room, an event venue occupying 6,000 sq ft on the fourth floor

    … along with several smaller tenants including Corgan Architects Model Studio, Wildcat Investments, Cravens Brothers, JF Depetris, Jr., CPA and Collabridge Solutions, Inc.

    The new leases bring The Landmark Center to more than 50 percent occupancy, with additional build- to-suit leasing opportunities available ranging from 2,000 to 30,000 sq ft.

    "I believe that the leases we have already signed are indicative of demand,” Hannay says.

    Fielding offers

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer lists McKinney mansion for $3.8M

    Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is selling his home at 6101 Crystal Cove Ct. in McKinney.

    Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is fielding offers for his estate in McKinney. Listed at $3.8 million, Schottenheimer’s 5,751-square-foot, custom-built home sits on a heavily wooded one-acre lot in master-planned Stonebridge Ranch.

    Tucked behind a secluded cul-de-sac, the GG Cain-built stone facade home, at 6101 Crystal Cove Ct., is a stone’s throw from Gray Branch Creek.

    Fitting for a football coach, the one-acre lot is nearly the size of an NFL regulation field, but arranged differently.

    “Inspired by the Texas Hill Country and finished to resort-level standards, this home has never been publicly offered for sale. There is nothing else like it in McKinney,” says the listing, offered by Carrie Himel of Compass’ sports and entertainment business.

    A private front courtyard with a tranquil fountain greets visitors upon arrival at the four-bedroom, five-bathroom estate, built in 2021. Once visitors step inside, they’re treated to soaring ceilings and walls of glass.

    “The chef’s kitchen is both a statement and a gathering place, featuring custom cabinetry, elevated finishes, a butler’s pantry, and a designer-tiled built-in bar that is equal parts function and showpiece,” says the listing.

    The primary suite doesn’t disappoint, offering a spa-caliber bath, a soaking tub, separate vanities, a walk-in shower, a custom closet, and a private outdoor shower.

    Outdoors you’ll find an infinity-edge pool, a yoga and relaxation garden, a grassy dog run, and pet fencing.

    Other features include:

    • Dedicated movie room (perhaps where Schoettenheimer sometimes huddles with players to watch film)
    • Private office
    • Lodge-inspired flex living space
    • Three-car garage and extended parking

    “This is not just a home,” the listing says. “It is an experience. A private retreat. A place that feels like a vacation every single day.”

    Team owner Jerry Jones hired Schottenheimer as the Cowboys’ head coach in 2025 following two seasons as offensive coordinator. A 29-year NFL coaching veteran, Schottenheimer has football in his genes. His late father, Marty Schottenheimer, and one of his uncles, Kurt Schottenheimer, collectively spent more than 40 years as NFL coaches.

    Brian Schottenheimer shared the McKinney home with his wife, Gemmi, and their two children: Sutton and Savannah, but no longer live there, according to a Compass spokesman. (The home was briefly under contract, but reports that it sold were incorrect, the spokesman adds.)

    The family moved out so Schottenheimer could live closer to AT&T Stadium in Arlington and the Cowboys’ headquarters in Frisco. Their Frisco home is 18 miles northeast of the Boys’ HQ in Frisco, or the equivalent of about 260 end-to-end football fields.

    Although the Schottenheimers don’t lead a wild life, they’ve spotted their share of wildlife on their property. Last year, for instance, an owl swooped into the house on an apparent hunt for some unwelcome snakes.

    Schottenheimer, who was away from home at the time, recalled the kerfuffle in an interview with ESPN:

    We’re not very outdoorsy people and so [my son] wasn’t really quite sure what to do, so he called my soon-to-be nephew … and the two of them together, Frick and Frack, tried to figure it out. They couldn’t do it. All they did was p*** it off. And so … in typical coaching fashion, I called my wife and I said, “Honey, I’m going to stay at the condo tonight, you got this.” But they got the owl removed. The owl … returned to its safe domain. But you can’t make this stuff up, man. So, it’s real.

    And who dealt with the owl?

    “They called animal control,” Schottenheimer said. “A gentleman came with a net, like a pool net. I might have to look at that as another job. Just kinda become an animal control guy. I’m so experienced now with wildlife in and around Dallas. Can’t make it up.”
