Dallas, TX—A new 28-story residential tower is being proposed at 4211 Newton Avenue in Dallas’ Oak Lawn neighborhood. Spearheaded by M&A Development, the 325-foot-high structure would total 404,000 square feet and replace the aging Chimney Six Condominiums—a 1960s-era two-story complex with 33 units. The developer is currently in the process of buying the site, which is awaiting rezoning approval due to a current 36-foot height restriction.
The Dallas developer plans to add density and premium housing to the area, aligning with city initiatives to promote vertical living. The building will provide one- and two-bedroom apartments, along with studio units, to attract more affluent residents, potentially including members of the nearby Equinox fitness club.
GFF is handling the architectural design, while Studio Outside is leading landscaping plans. The project site is located between Wycliff and Avondale Avenues, just a block off Oak Lawn Avenue, near Turtle Creek Village and The Shops of Highland Park.
Plans include a two-level underground parking garage, a large second-floor pool, and a 9,000-square-foot public pocket park with water features and sculptures. Roughly 40% of the site is planned as publicly accessible space, developers said. The park is designed to serve as a community asset, offering seating, water fountains, and shaded areas.
CEO Scott Theeringer of M&A Development argues that the tower’s height will transform parking lot views into skyline vistas, while Architect Evan Beattie of GFF supports the height variance, highlighting the livability and design benefits of a taller structure.
As part of the project, M&A plans to realign the curb eight feet inward on Newton Avenue to improve traffic flow and expand street parking. The development team is currently working through community outreach and zoning discussions, with hopes to break ground by late 2026 or early 2027. Construction is expected to take between 18 and 24 months.
The new high-rise is one of several developments transforming Oak Lawn. Around the corner, a strip mall is being redeveloped into a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use destination by the Halperin family. These developments signal ongoing transformation in a nightlife area with a long-standing LGBTQ+ community.
