Still struggling to recover from a pandemic that turned parts of downtown Dallas into a ghost town, center city proponents are looking to the future.
Major real estate projects and public sector improvements were the focus of economic development group Downtown Dallas Inc.’s annual meeting Tuesday.
“We cannot deny the impact of the last year, the challenges particularly faced by our small businesses and our quieter streets,” said Downtown Dallas Inc. CEO Kourtny Garrett. “Four billion dollars of development continues to move forward. Cranes are still flying high over downtown Dallas.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven no match for Dallas’ real estate development ambitions.
New downtown Dallas projects unveiled in recent months would forever change the city’s skyline with office towers, residential high-rises, hotels and retail.
Three major developments two downtown and one just to the north in Uptown would add billions of dollars in construction and millions of square feet of additional space.
