The National

The National, a $460 million redevelopment of the 51-story former First National Bank tower, was Downtown’s last major vacant building.

West End Square

West End Square, the second of four planned parks to be developed by nonprofit Parks for Downtown Dallas. Formerly a surface parking lot, it is the only public park in the West End, and it instantly changes the face of that historic neighborhood. It follows the fall 2019 opening of Pacific Plaza, a 3.74-acre neighborhood park at Pacific Avenue and North Harwood Street.
