Context Description
The project site is located in the Arts District along Flora, between Olive and Pearl. Klyde Warren
Park is located to the west of the block which is also shared with Museum Tower. 2121 Flora is
one of the few remaining development sites along Flora Street, and represents an important
opportunity to reinforce the built edge of the street and introduce additional neighborhood
residents, retail and activity in the Arts District.
Neighborhood:
Dallas Arts District
Originally reviewed on 03-26-13 under the name Flora Lofts, the project scope has been
revised to include a residential tower component. Key considerations for the project are careful
study around tower reflectivity and impact on adjacencies, establishing and enhancing strong
pedestrian connections to Klyde Warren park, and creating an active and flexible public realm
along Flora street.
