Another big block on downtown Dallas' near east side has been snapped up by developers.
Trammell Crow Residential has purchased most of the block on Ross between Caddo Street and Haskell Avenue. The property — now a combination of vacant lots and old commercial buildings.
"We are planning to build 292 apartment units on the site," said Matt Enzler, managing director of Crow Residential. "We will start abatement and demolition in November, with full construction starting after the first of the year.
Supposedly, this is the block where there are 3 very old (~100 years) and architecturally interesting retail buildings, including the Oriental Rug Cleaning Co Building. I'm hoping it's a mistake and it's actually the run down strip mall across the street, but that's unlikely. Id these buildings come down, especially for some run of the mill stick apartments, I will be disgusted.
