Key takeaway The $800 million project would include various amenities such as retail, restaurants, and housing.
Neighborhood groups in Northwest Dallas are coming together to oppose a proposed development near Preston Road and Royal Lane. The $800 million project would include various amenities such as retail, restaurants, and housing. The main concern for these groups is the proposed height of the development, particularly a 19-story condominium tower.
Current zoning in the area limits height to 54 feet, significantly lower than the proposed tower. Further details about the development and the opposition from neighborhood groups are available from local news sources, including NBC DFW.
Why this matters
