More apartments and retail on the way in Dallas’ Bishop Arts district

Dallas-based builder Alamo Manhattan Corp. is eyeing a more than $43 million apartment and retail building to be constructed at Zang Boulevard and 7th Street.

The planned development would include 208 rental units and 10,000 square feet of shop space on a block that’s now occupied by small commercial buildings, planning documents filed with the state show.

Construction on the apartment and retail building would start early next year.

The Bishop Arts District is about to get an Australian accent.

Isla & Co., an Australian all-day cafe, will open this fall in one of the most iconic addresses in Dallas dining. Lucia moved out of the small space and around the corner in early 2021; Isla & Co. hopes to debut this September.

Although it’s an Aussie-run business, the cafe started in Brooklyn and is expanding rapidly across the country, with locations opening soon in Connecticut, Atlanta, and South Florida.

That El Corazon was torn down for a CVS still stings. Last time I visited even Ten Bells had a fence surrounding it, a shame that what makes a place, ends up falling victim to its own success.

It is going in next to the Vance at Bishop Union apt building on Zang Blvd and Neely St. It says “construction estimated to commence Q4 2023”. It’s great to see more development being built along the Dallas Streetcar too. Former El Fenix site and Zang Flats to name a few recent developments.

I have a feeling Boheme, Zang Flats, and Alamo/Local Oak/Victor Prosper 2 are the last of the streetcar-facing new construction we’ll see for a while, but I would love to be proven wrong.

This part of the Bishop Arts area seems like it’s held hostage to whatever HEB decides to do with their property. Clearly Central Market won’t happen unless Uptown does, so just sell the land and move on.

Documents filed with the state show that Art House Tower is expected to house commercial units on the building’s first floor and 70 residential units on the upper six floors

Re: the final phase of Alamo Manhattan/ Victor Prosper. One thing I hadn't noticed before is how this building extends all the way to N Madison unlike Phase 1 and can actually claim to be in Bishop Arts. If they have any intelligence whatsoever, they will have retail facing W Seventh and N Madison to draw people in from Oddfellows. Not holding my breath though.

Also noticed some equipment parked in the lot south of Bishop North apartments. Hoping for progress on the next phase of this and that woonerf street between the two buildings.
