With a massive development project called The Epic already under construction as a future home for Uber, a Dallas developer is turning its attention to nearby sites.
Steve Brown reports:
Westdale Real Estate is building the two-block Epic development in Deep Ellum. The developer just broke ground on a fourth building in The Epic that will house thousands of workers for Uber.
Now Westdale is revamping older buildings that are next to The Epic site.
Westdale is planning to adapt six historic buildings in all, leaving the façade while adding new underground utilities, interior shell space, and roofs. The project, name the Good E Project, according to Brown, will include restaurant, retail, and office space. Planetizen has picked up news about Uber's arrival to Deep Ellum, and the neighborhood's ongoing development momentum.
