WHAT’S UP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES

Coming Soon

TreeHouse made its mark in Austin as an eco-friendly home improvement store. Now the retailer is upping its game with a store in our neighborhood. Slated to open this June, its new location at The Hill Shopping Center will be the first retail store in the country that is energy positive, meaning it puts energy back into the grid. “This is our growing up and going to the big leagues,” CEO Jason Ballard told the Advocate.

More than 500 luxury apartments are being constructed at the northwest corner of Walnut Hill and N. Central Expressway at Preston Hollow Village. Once completed, the 42-acre development is composed of three apartment communities, retail space and a 3-acre park.

Restaurant News

The outburst of fast-casual restaurants opening in Preston Hollow continues with Street’s Fine Chicken. The beloved Cedar Springs eatery is slated to open its second location at Inwood Road and Forest Lane this summer. The offerings include a hybrid of southern and French comfort food served in a fast-paced environment.

Cinc5 Taco Bar also has joined the ever-growing list of restaurants offering a quick bite. The Preston Hollow Village taco bar is the sister establishment to Addison’s Cinco Tacos Cocina & Tequila.

Now Open

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage launched a sales office in the Preston Center. The office will focus on highend sales.
