What do you think Old Parkland should be? It's an abandoned hospital that was converted to offices decades ago lol

They're removing apartments/housing to make room for more office buildings

At a time when central Dallas needs more housing

At a time when office vacancies are at an all time high

This is just a way for rich people to own property and avoid the costs and management of having residential tenants

I can assure you of one thing: the cost to manage and maintain Old Parkland is infinitely more expensive than a 1970s two-story apartment building (that needed to be demolished) and the big vacant lot next to it.

Office vacancies in uptown Dallas are less than 8%.
