About Us

The Dallas Design District is where it’s at. Everything cool, everything new, and everything artsy is happening here. Right at the heart of our city, The DDD has come from a “to the trade only” warehouse district to a hip, blossoming community that attracts life and creativity.

The main things we discuss on The DDD are:

• Dallas Design District

  Evolving over the last 50 years, today’s Design District and Arts District is poised to become a major destination in the urban revitalization of the downtown and near-downtown area of the city. With the help of Trammel Crow, Jim Lake Companies and many others, it is now a thriving, urban, creative epicenter in Dallas.

• The Trinity River Project

  This is one of the most ambitious public works project in the nation, and one that is transforming Dallas forever. By improving the 20-mile swath of nature that runs through the heart of the city, citizens will have the opportunity to enjoy nature and recreation within the public realm. The Trinity Trust Foundation is truly a huge player in building bridges across the Trinity.

• Good eats & drinks

  There are some great restaurants in the Design District, whose quality and service will tantalize your taste buds.  Our job is to do the dirty work and find these restaurants that don’t require the treacherous task of dabbing too-greasy food or searching for a happy happy hour.  All of this we can find in the DDD. You’re welcome.

• Life and living in the DDD

  You’ll be the first to know about new businesses in the district, whether it’s an apartment, loft, showroom, or if there is space available for lease. We also have the inside scoop on DDD parties and street events, such as wine walks (who doesn’t want to walk around and drink wine?) and art shows. We also have a first-hand source for crime reports in the area (or more appropriately- lack of crime reports), press releases, and city government contacts.

• Bishop Arts District

Why is this here?  Okay so it’s not exactly in the DDD, but it’s hip, cool and there are far too many fun events with music, food and fun just 7 minutes over the river. It is definitely worth checking out!  It’s almost like stumbling into a different city thanks to Jim Lake Companies and the efforts of countless organizations that strive to make Bishop Arts exactly what it is - a thriving urban area with many locally owned businesses competing for storefronts in the district.
