The proposed tower would be constructed adjacent to the Deep Ellum DART rail station at Good-Latimer Expressway and Swiss Avenue.

New York-based Scenic Investments is asking the Dallas Plan Commission for the go-ahead to develop the 25-story building with 354 residential units. The tower would include about 3,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.

A century-old former factory in Deep Ellum that most recently housed a charter school for about a decade could be mostly torn down to make way for hundreds of apartments.

New York-based investment and development firm RXR Realty LLC plans to demolish at least portions, if not the majority, of the 85,000-square-foot building at 2625 Elm St. to build an apartment tower, its first project in Texas.

The firm acquired the 2.25-acre site from Uplift Education for an undisclosed price Dec. 27, county records show. Uplift operated a charter school there, Uplift Luna, for about a decade until the end of 2023, when the school moved to a new campus in East Dallas.

Dallas Business Journal has learned fresh details from RXR about the future envisioned for the prominent site. While plans are still being finalized, the project is likely to be a six- to seven-story building with about 300 units, parking and some ground-floor retail, said Joseph Graziose, the company's executive vice president of development services.
