DALLAS – (Realty News Report) – Maple Terrace, a historic apartment building that housed Elvis Presley, Judy Garland and Dean Martin, is the center of a major Dallas development by Hines, and partners McNair Interests and Mitsui Fudosan America.
Houston talent is key to the project. Houston-based Hines and McNair Interests (founded by the late owner of the NFL’s Houston Texans) have tapped noted Houston architect Lauren Rottet to be involved in the development.
New 22-Story Tower Breaks Ground
Maple Terrace is a 3.37-acre mixed-use development in Uptown Dallas. Anchored by the original 1920s Maple Terrace building that will be preserved to reveal a modernized boutique destination, the project will feature 157,000 SF of office space, a new 22-story for-rent upscale residential tower and 12,000 SF of street-facing restaurant space.
“We are honored to reimagine this Dallas landmark into a multi-faceted Uptown destination,” said Hines Managing Director Ben Brewer. “Maple Terrace’s timeless architecture will be celebrated and merged with state-of-the-art design, luxury amenities and dining options to create a place for everyone to experience.”
Maple Terrace was first designed as apartments by famed English architect Sir Alfred Bossom in 1925 and housed celebrities through the ages, including Judy Garland, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley and Liza Minnelli. The original seven-story structure will be carefully restored by Dallas-based architects, 5G Studio Collaborative, to serve as the centerpiece of the mixed-use development. Transitioning into Class AA office space, The Offices at Maple Terrace will pay homage to Bossom’s intended exterior design with additions that ensure a sustainable future, including two new, glass-encased levels rising from the open-air rooftop lounge and terrace, and a nine-story glass curtain wall system that overlooks a sprawling, 9,000-SF urban garden.
