The 55-story skyscraper near the Dallas Arts District's new name "pays tribute to the surrounding neighborhood and amplifies the district’s mission to unify culture and commerce," according to a release from Stream Realty Partners, who has leased the building since 2016.
The lobby will be upgraded, including an art gallery with works from local artists.
Dallas skyline could soon include 2 new skyscrapers
Two new skyscrapers could become part of the Dallas skyline over the next few years now that the city council has approved the construction plans. One is expected to be the tallest building in Dallas.
There will also be two new restaurants added in the tower's lobby and rotunda areas, run by Dallas-based hospitality company Milkshake Concepts. One is said to be a European-style café and the other will be a Greek restaurant.
"This deal has been a long time in the making," Imran Sheikh, the CEO and Founding Partner of Milkshake Concepts, said in a release. "2200 Ross is an iconic building in the heart of Dallas, and we are extremely excited by the vision the owners have shared with us for it."
Construction on the lobby and restaurants are expected to start this summer and is expected to be completed in early 2024.
