The developers are seeking planning approvals to construct two apartment buildings with 225 units on land now occupied by the low-rise Royal Orleans and Diplomat Condominiums.

Cawley Partners is seeking zoning for the project which would include 16-story and 9-story buildings.

The Northwest Highway project is one of just several new high-rise developments in the works for the Preston Center district located near the Dallas North Tollway.

Rosebriar owns the northern plot where Hopdoddy Burger Bar is located, and is looking to build a 23-story hotel-condo tower there, according to retired CEO Bill Hanks. The hotel could have as many as 240 rooms, along with 90 condos and ground-floor retail.

Just south of the proposed hotel-condo project, 8215 Westchester Drive, which is owned by Burk Interests, is slated to become a 27-story, 255-unit apartment complex, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News.

Hanks said the projects are not a joint venture between Rosebriar and Burk, but rather a joint zoning effort. Both projects are expected to appear before Dallas's City Plan Commission in July, and if they pass, could go before City Council for final approval in August.

I don't know what all these people do with the finances associated with owning land and not developing it.

On Thursday, the city plan commission will review a request to tie an increase in the project’s floor area ratio and height to a provision of mixed-income housing. The commission makes recommendations to city council on planning and zoning items.

“Overall, staff supports the applicant’s request because it will add an appropriately designed development while offering additional diversity of housing,” the city plan commission’s agenda said. “The project will include design and streetscape standards that contribute to a more active pedestrian experience along existing walkable retail streets.”

Initial plans called for a 180-unit multifamily tower and a 265,000-square-office tower with retail along Luther Lane between Douglas Avenue and Westchester Drive along the southern swath of the block.

This is the rendering in DMN. Target, CVS AND John Reid may have to bid adieu.
