THE CRESCENT MARKS 30TH YEAR WITH $33 MILLION UPTOWN REDEVELOPMENT
DALLAS – The Crescent – the anchor of what is now known as Uptown Dallas — is marking its 30th anniversary this year with the completion of $33 million in renovations that touch every exterior edge of the mixed-used development. The work involved removing barriers and making the area more pedestrian friendly.
Coinciding with the 30-year milestone, The Crescent recently opened Ascension Coffee, the popular coffee house and wine bar that originated in the Dallas Design District. In early fall, The Crescent will welcome the American debut of Moxie’s Grill & Bar, the Canadian-based restaurant owned by Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi, and the Dallas debut of Shake Shack, the modern-day “roadside” burger spot.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Philip Johnson along with John Burgee and Dallas-based Shepherd & Boyd, The Crescent – which includes a luxury hotel, three office towers and a retail/restaurant area – began as a self-contained, mixed-use project with amenities for workers and guests. As Uptown Dallas evolved, auto and pedestrian traffic in Uptown has increased greatly.
The recent renovations included a new storefront for retail outlet, Stanley Korshak. Palomino restaurant now has a street entrance and a new outdoor patio deck along Cedar Springs Road. The former motor court – located between the office buildings, the Rosewood Crescent Hotel and entertainment spaces – has been redesigned.
