About Maple Terrace

Maple Terrace is located in the Uptown area of Dallas, a popularneighborhood where rental housing, offices,as well as numerous luxury condominium and hotels, exist. The location is within walking distance of McKinney Avenue, where many restaurants and retail facilities are located, as well as the American Airlines Center, where many sports, music, and other entertainment events are held every year. Not only that, the location is just a 20-minute drive away from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, one of the leading international airports in the US. In addition, the nearby Katy Trail, a recreational trail built on an abandoned railroad line, and Turtle Creek, a twenty-acre park, offer a serene retreat for walks, picnics, and special events, giving the location multiple features for live, work and play.

The property will be a mixture of a rental housing, office, and retail. While the rental housing and retail facilities will be newly built, the office will be both an expansion and preservation of the structure of the historical building constructed in 1925, including a façade famous for its distinctive features.

The rental housing is planned to have ample amenities, including a fitness center, swimming pool, dog park, and rooftop lounge. With prospectivetenants ranging from young single workers in Dallas to dual-income households and active seniorcouples, a wide range of floor plans are scheduled to be offered. While the office will have a historic exterior, the inner structure features a sophisticated design with the latest facilities and an atrium space, providing an airy atmosphere. As for retail, Chicago-based steakhouse Maple & Ash plans to open its first location in Texas here on the property, further energizing the area.

Methods will also be taken to reduce the property’s environmental burden, such as acquiring LEED Silver certification for the office and rental housing wings, and WELL certification for the office wing.

The Group’s business partner for this project is Hines, a major real estate developer based in Houston, Texas and operating around the world.
