Kaizen Development Partners launched construction on one of Uptown Dallas’ most anticipated projects, bringing a heavyweight hospitality partner along for the ride.
The Dallas-based firm began demolition this week on the former North Texas Public Broadcasting site at 3000 Harry Hines Avenue, near North Harwood Avenue, clearing the way for Chalk Hill, slated for 400,000 square feet of office space, 61 luxury condos, a 217-key hotel and ground-floor retail, the Dallas Morning News reported.
HN Capital Partners, owner of the Mansion on Turtle Creek and a string of high-end developments in Dallas, is partnering on the hotel component. The firm is also co-developing the massive 40-acre Hi Line Square project in the Design District with McCourt Partners, set to include a 300-unit luxury tower and what would be the city’s highest rooftop pool.
Chalk Hill gives Kaizen a high-profile follow-up to The Link at Uptown, its 25-story tower completed in 2022 just a few blocks away.
Designed by Dallas architect BOKA Powell and built by Balfour Beatty, the office tower at Chalk Hill will include a cold plunge, sauna-equipped fitness center, nearly an acre of green roof space and a conference-and-dining suite aimed at executive users. JLL’s Blake Shipley and T.D. Briggs are leasing the office component.
The project builds on the momentum of Uptown’s construction boom, where over 2 million square feet of office space is underway, more than any other submarket in North Texas. Strong walkability and dining options are a draw for corporate tenants seeking top-tier space and talent retention advantages.
Public broadcaster KERA, which sold 2.3 of its 4 acres to Kaizen in 2023, will remain on-site with plans for a new headquarters adjacent to the development. The demolition includes the dismantling of a 300-foot radio tower, with KERA operating temporarily from One Arts Plaza and Fair Park during construction.
