Hillcrest Village

Location: Dallas, Texas

SHOP selected OMNIPLAN to reimagine this lackluster retail plaza built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Located in Far North Dallas, the center was characterized by one and two-story commercial buildings containing an array of retail and office tenants. Once slotted for demolition in favor of a multifamily development, the center has found new life as a community destination. Central to the project is a 1.5-acre City Park, developed as part of a PublicPrivate Partnership with SHOP and the City of Dallas. An existing retail building was torn down to free up space for the park that includes a programmable central lawn, activated promenades, playground, and public art.

Block 23

Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Located on the most significant block in downtown Phoenix, Block 23 will create a vibrant live-work-play environment on a site that has been waiting to be redeveloped for decades. The mixed-use project centers around 410,000 SF of residential space, totaling 330 units on 13 floors. Tenant amenities will include a pool, fitness center, private cabanas, makers’ garage and pet spa.

The project also includes 175,000 SF of office space, a 65,000 SF grocery store and 16,000 SF of retail/ restaurant space at street level. An additional 480,000 SF of structured parking will be provided on site, with residents parking on 3 levels below-grade, and office/ retail/grocery parking separated on four above-grade levels. The site borders light rail lines on the north and south sides making it a viable residence for both people who work downtown or who commute and want easy access to public transportation and urban style living.
