Dallas' Newest District

East Quarter was once known as an automotive and industrial hub in the 1920s closely nestled to Downtown Dallas within the Central Business District. With the resurgence of Downtown Dallas, this ideal location has been re-envisioned as a creative epicenter in the heart of Downtown. The historic character of the area influenced the design and planning of East Quarter and has created a modern-day urban neighborhood.

A Growing Neighborhood

The redevelopment of East Quarter has strengthened the Dallas 360 Strategic Plan coupled with the upcoming Harwood Park and the thriving Farmers Market, Deep Ellum and Central Business District areas. East Quarter is now home to office, retail and restaurants.

This is a neighborhood that’s been over 100 years in the making. Some think it’s the best-kept secret in our City.

Adaptive Reuse

OMNIPLAN repositioned several historic buildings in the East Quarter District. We took special care in restoring them, learning about their history and exposing architectural jewels in each of them dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. We also served as the design architect for the mixed-use building and designed the office space for Order My Gear which is located in the Juanita building.

  • Magnolia Petroleum Building
  • 300 Pearl
  • 2200 Main
  • Juanita
  • Order My Gear at Juanita

Capitalizing on Character

The East Quarter District was slowly picked apart over decades through the demolition of unprotected historic buildings. The remaining historic buildings each embody the elegant and raw character that informs how the new development will stitch the area back together. This pre-existing cultural significance became the inspiration for defining this new area’s character, creating a unique destination for the community to enjoy again.
