New Tom Thumb Will Highlight Downtown Dallas Complex
A new 60,000-square-foot Tom Thumb supermarket will be a ground-floor attraction of a two-tower mixed-use project in the heart of Dallas, which will offer 417,000 square feet of premier Class-AA office space, a 309-unit residential high-rise building, and 87,000 square feet of retail space.
Scheduled to be fully completed in 2018, The Union Dallas, located at Field Street and Cedar Springs Road, will be a connection point for many of Dallas’ most vibrant business and residential districts, including Downtown, Uptown, the Arts District and Victory Park neighborhoods. Ideally located within walking distance of Dallas’ premier sports, entertainment, museum and outdoor park venues, the ground-up Tom Thumb is slated to open in 2017.
