Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and development partner Trammell Crow Co. last week held a groundbreaking on a transit-oriented development (TOD) project at the SMU Mockingbird light-rail station.
Located at a former DART parking lot at the intersection of Twin Sixties Drive and Worcola Street, the 16-acre TOD calls for constructing a 500-space subsurface parking garage for DART riders, 394 apartment units, a hotel and office space. The TOD project will be integrated into an existing shopping center at the SMU Mockingbird Station, DART officials said in a press release.
Site buildout will be completed in phases. The apartment structure will be constructed first, with completion slated for the end of 2027, according to Trammell Crow. Residents and visitors will have access to DART's 93-mile light-rail system.
The TOD project cost is $123 million, according to a local news report. The city of Dallas in 2022 allocated up to $29 million for the TOD project through a tax incremental financing district, and the North Central Texas Council of Governments' Regional Transportation Council granted $20 million for parking garage construction, per the report.
