Woods Capital, Kaizen Development Partners and Dundon Capital Partners Acquire Prime Land Tract


Dallas, TX - A joint venture among Woods Capital, Kaizen Development Partners (Kaizen) and Dundon Capital Partners acquired today two prime tracts in the urban core of Dallas, with plans to develop the site into an iconic mixed-use neighborhood consisting of multiple office, residential and hospitality towers built above an engaging and diverse pedestrian-focused restaurant and retail ground plane with open spaces and amenities. Located at 1012 and 1100 McKinney Avenue, the tracts are zoned to permit over 5,000,000 square feet of building area and will be thoughtfully developed in phases, with the first phase likely containing 750,000 square feet of office space, 50,000 square feet of retail space and 300 multifamily apartment units. The project will join an ever-growing collection of high-quality developments along N. Field Street bridging Downtown and Uptown Dallas, including the Perot Museum of Nature and Science and The Union.

“Field Street is becoming the most exciting street in the City of Dallas, connecting the heart of Uptown with the Main Street District,” said Jonas Woods, CEO of Woods Capital. “The development of upscale office, residential and retail along Field Street over the next few years will create exciting connections between Uptown, Victory Park, the West End, the Arts District and the Main Street District. Our project is the nexus of all of these exciting neighborhoods.”

Woods Capital and Kaizen secured the rights to the nearly 6-acre property from the Shraman South Asian Museum and Learning Center Foundation, a non-profit founded by Dr. Vinay Jain, then formed a joint venture with Dundon Capital Partners to complete the acquisition. The foundation was represented in the transaction by Sarah Hinkley of Thirty-Four Commercial.

“The complimentary skillsets of our combined team make this a limitless opportunity for the community,” said Derrick Evers, CEO of Kaizen. “We are both humbled and thankful for the relationship with Dr. Jain and his foundation and will carry forward their desire for a transformational development in the City of Dallas.”

The joint venture is already fielding interest from several large office users looking for amenity-rich office space in Dallas’ urban core.

“Rarely is there an opportunity to truly place-make in an urban infill setting. A site of this size with our entitlements simply does not exist within any other Tier 1 market in the country,” said Evers.

Construction of the first phase of the project is planned to commence in the Fall of 2020.
