The Epic will also include a 300-unit residential tower developed by StreetLights Residential. At 20 stories, it will be the second tallest building in Deep Ellum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the most unique projects KDC has ever undertaken, and we are thrilled to be working with Westdale on this special and exciting project,\u201d Steve Van Amburgh, KDC\u2019s CEO, said. \u201cThe Epic will attract millennials and tenants looking for the authenticity that comes with adaptive re-use projects, but also the modern efficiencies and amenities of new construction. Plus, the views of Deep Ellum and downtown Dallas are absolutely phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amenities in the development will include a modern lobby designed to reflect the art, culture and energy of Deep Ellum, along with a rooftop caf\u00e9 and amenity deck with a fitness center. Retail space will line the ground level of the office building, along with the first floor of the future multifamily tower in a pedestrian-oriented internal streetscape.<\/p>\n<p>Perkins + Will is the architect for the office tower and Balfour Beatty is the general contractor. CBRE\u2019s Dennis Barnes, Tommy Nelson and Kenzie Killgore will lease the office tower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSet in the heart of downtown Dallas with an urban vibe, this transit-oriented development will be ideal for companies looking to meet the needs of young, creative employees,\u201d Ron Stelmarski, Perkins + Will\u2019s design director, said. \u201cTenants will have direct access to major highways and a DART station within walking distance, not to mention several retail options in the same building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The high-rise development is expected to be complete in 2019. KDC plans to seek LEED Gold certification for the core and shell of the office building.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Perkins+Will<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Epic development will bring office, residential and hotel space to the western end of the Deep Ellum neighborhood. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004170379,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1586,21782,21808,21752,21742],"tags":[32978,32789,33619,32779,34606,34605],"class_list":["post-1004170377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas","category-development","category-featured","category-mixed-use","category-latest","tag-balfour-beatty-construction","tag-cbre","tag-kdc","tag-leed","tag-perkins-will-architects","tag-westdale-real-estate-investment-and-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
