Re: Uptown Dallas - Field Street Development [North End Apartments Site]
Hunt has owned this land since ‘97, and would be willing to bet the dirt and apartments have been paid off for a while. They have probably been stacking some cash from this property. That makes pretty favorable conditions for an ambitious project. This will be a home freakin’ run for them.
