DALLAS — The developer of a proposed seven-story apartment complex near White Rock Lake is going back to the drawing board after its initial rezoning request was rejected Thursday evening.
Boca Raton, Florida-based Mill Creek Residential was hoping to expand the density and height allowed on a nearly 4-acre site in East Dallas at the intersection of Gaston Avenue, Garland Road and Grand Avenue. Formerly home of The Lot, a restaurant and beer garden that closed last year due to the pandemic, Mill Creek wants to build The Trailhead, a 305-unit apartment complex that would include ground-floor retail and a connection to the neighboring Santa Fe Trail. The site is currently zoned to only support a four-story building.
