Key takeaway The $800 million project would feature retail, restaurants, and housing, including a 19-story condominium tower.
Neighborhood groups in Northwest Dallas are coming together to oppose a proposed development near Preston Road and Royal Lane. The $800 million project would feature retail, restaurants, and housing, including a 19-story condominium tower. This height exceeds the current zoning limit of 54 feet, prompting concern among nearby residents.
A coalition of neighborhood organizations, known as D13 Together, has formed to focus on this issue. The group represents several areas, including Melshire Estates, Wimberley Court, and Bluffview. Further details about the proposed development and the opposition from neighborhood groups are available from local news sources, including NBC5 DFW.
