Purse Building Rehabilitation
Dallas, Texas
First constructed in 1905, this 6-story building has been restored to its former glory, exposing century-old pine wood floors, original brick walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Purse Building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Certified Rehabilitation, taking advantage of State and Federal Tax Credits. Architexas conducted a complete restoration of the exterior and adaptation of the building’s interior, preserving its historical integrity.
The building boasts 15,581 square feet of retail space, equipped to accommodate up to five unique concepts, in the plans: a new restaurant on the park for the county employees and tourists, a specialty shop serving prepared foods, a basement speakeasy reminiscent of the 60s, a rooftop restaurant that will have one of a kind views of the downtown skyline, and a coffee and wine bar opening to the light rail where commuters can co-mingle with residents of the West End. In addition to retail space, the building houses five floors of office space in a heavy timber, historic environment suitable for open office space or subdivision for smaller office users.
