If it’s been a few months since you last drove through the Davis/Zang intersection near the Bishop Arts District, you likely wouldn’t recognize where you are now. Buildings five stories tall are going up on three of the four corners, and a new CVS stands where El Corazón was. Melba St., on the other side of the district, is beginning to feel like the State Thomas neighborhood of Uptown: mid-rise apartments and town homes on all sides with a small historic home here or there.

Not only are the streets torn up from increasing utility sizes to accommodate the growth and reconstructing complete streets, but there are about 20 large-scale residential and commercial projects currently under construction in North Oak Cliff, totaling more than a quarter of a billion dollars of investment and adding more than 1,200 units.

Crescent-Davis

This massive development wave began back in 2008 when Oak Cliff community leaders began development of the Bishop-Davis Rezoning Plan, approved by Council in 2010. Bishop Arts was already a burgeoning hot spot. There were already million dollar homes in the Kessler neighborhoods. The city had already resurfaced N. Bishop Ave. with parallel parking and street trees through the district. Then the streetcar was funded. And the Nazerian family was granted $2 million to continue assembling land. The economy tanked, then improved. The streetcar was built. The rest is recent history. Now, the vision set almost a decade ago is becoming reality.

Here’s the latest status on the big projects under construction directly adjacent to the Bishop Arts District. In Part 2 we’ll detail  projects throughout the rest of North Oak Cliff.

“We have received so many unsolicited comments on ‘how good the brick looks.’ We agree and are very pleased—the architect did a great job! The next building should look even better and we can’t wait to see it.”  – Matt Segrest, CEO of Alamo Manhattan

Both eastern Melba/Bishop corners are under construction and Phase 3 property at Bishop and 9th has been cleared and is staged as parking. Exxir Capital has begun Phase 2, an underground parking garage and 246 apartments.
