Paying Rent
If you’ve played your cards right, you might be able to afford an apartment in one of Dallas’ new luxury high-rises stacked with amenities. Here is a sampling of what’s on the market.
AMLI Fountain Place
1800 N. Field St.
Architect Henry Cobb, founding partner of the firm formerly known as I.M. Pei & Partners, envisioned a second twin tower when the original Fountain Place office building was constructed more than 30 years ago. With the help of architecture firm Page, the 45-story multifamily high-rise finally opened in its rightful place last year. The 360 luxury apartments share the recently renovated water garden and retail space with the office tower. They have private access to a swimming pool, fitness center, outdoor grilling area, and dog park.
1 bedroom: 645+ square feet | Starting at $2,250
2 bedroom: 1,059+ square feet | Starting at $2,875
3 bedroom: 2,052 square feet | Starting at $5,725
The Hamilton at The Epic
2525 Elm St.
The Hamilton pays tribute to its Deep Ellum neighborhood with multiple art galleries featuring commissioned work by local artists. Other creative outlets offered in the 26-story, 310-unit apartment building include a media tunnel, reading nooks, and a maker space workshop. A private bar, fitness center, grilling stations, and pool are available to residents. You can also sign up for virtual classes: try your hand at pop tart baking, t-shirt tie-dyeing, or candle-making.
Studio: 619+ square feet | Starting at $1,545
1 bedroom: 661+ square feet | Starting at $1,670
2 bedroom: 1,182+ square feet | Starting at $2,900
3 bedroom: 1,732+ square feet | Starting at $5,250
The National Residences
1401 Elm St.
The recently revamped 51-story former First National Bank Tower is anchored by the Thompson Hotel, which sets the tone for beck-and-call options. Residents have access to maid and dry-cleaning services, a pet concierge, indoor and outdoor dog parks, a private spa and fitness center, a resort-style pool deck with cabanas and bar service, a blow-dry bar, a nail salon, grocery delivery from the on-site market, priority reservations and room service from the hotel’s restaurants–even in-apartment catering by executive chef Jeramie Robison.
1 bedroom: 660+ square feet | Starting at $2,255
2 bedroom: 1,319+ square feet | Starting at $4,245
Penthouse: 1,984+ square feet | Starting at $14,000
The Drakestone
1309 Main St.
Tim Headington invested $45 million in a remodel of Dallas’ historic Davis Building, which was built in 1926 as the headquarters for Republic National Bank. Renovations retained architectural details while incorporating custom tile installations and artful flourishes similar to those at Headington’s other properties, like The Joule and Forty Five Ten, which are just a block away. Residents can take advantage of discounts at both, meaning you can get a break on a matcha latte at Weekend Coffee before your massage at The Spa at The Joule.
Studio: 606+ square feet | Call for price
1 bedroom: 750+ square feet | Call for price
2 bedroom: 1,057+ square feet | Call for price
