Here’s how GFF describes the design:
The architecture and material palette are reminiscent of West Dallas’s industrial history but the implementation is done with a modern approach. Brick detailing, alternating window patterns, and facade indentations provide the modern building with rich architectural texture while meeting the stringent zoning requirements of the site; additionally, the roof forms of the restaurant and retail buildings draw inspiration from historic structures in the immediate West Dallas area
The buildings currently are under construction and could be finished in 2021.
