Reimagining Historic Preston Center: RAMROCK Real Estate and Lincoln Property Company Announce 8300 Douglas

DALLAS, TEXAS (October 8, 2025)—RAMROCK Real Estate, in partnership with Lincoln Property Company, HKS, and Willow Bridge Property Management, today announced 8300 Douglas, a landmark mixed-use development that will bring elevated office, residential, and retail environments to one of Dallas’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. This transformative project will deliver approximately 300,000 square feet of Class AA office space and 280,000 square feet of residential space, along with richly landscaped walkways connecting curated shops and restaurants.

Scheduled for delivery in 2028, 8300 Douglas will offer premier office space across 12 floors, featuring expansive floor plates of approximately 29,000 square feet and impressive floor-to-floor heights ranging from 14’6″ to 22’3″. The building is part of a thoughtfully designed mixed-use community that includes a 17-story luxury residential tower with 147 units, a spectacular 35,000-square-foot rooftop park, and approximately 24,000 square feet of curated ground-floor retail and restaurant space.

“After years of deliberate preparation, we are thrilled to finally break ground on 8300 Douglas. This project is a transformational moment for the neighborhood—it’s the definitive step in creating the kind of vibrant, walkable environment the Preston Center community deserves,” said Robert Dozier, RAMROCK Real Estate president. “We are immensely proud to be delivering an essential combination of Class AA office, luxury residential, and enhanced retail that will truly elevate the daily experience for generations of residents and tenants to come.”

Designed by internationally acclaimed HKS Architects with interior design collaboration from Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, SJL Design Group, and OJB Landscape Architecture, 8300 Douglas embodies a hospitality-inspired approach to workplace and residential design.

“Our goal is to create meaningful experiences for tenants and residents that match the value of this real estate,” said Mark Buskuhl, global practice director for commercial/mixed-use at HKS. “Preston Center is a Dallas landmark, and we’re proud to play a role in reimagining this local asset by creating a dynamic public realm with restaurants and shops for the neighborhood that will serve as the new level of quality and catalyst for future development.”

The 12-story office tower offers:

• Expansive Floor Plates: Approximately 29,000 SF typical floors with exceptional flexibility
• Impressive Floor-to-Floor Heights: 14’6″ to 22’3″, with the ground floor featuring dramatic 29’3” ceilings
• Tallest Vision Glass in Preston Center: 10′-12′ floor-to-ceiling glass maximizing natural light and views
• Nearly 35,000 SF of Exclusive Outdoor Space: Including 11 spacious balconies and two penthouse landscaped terraces
• World-Class Amenities: Full-service health club, sophisticated tenant lounge, wine room, conference facilities, and catering kitchen
• Boutique-Like Finishes: High-touch, upscale detail on par with a luxury social club

Located at 8300 Douglas Avenue, the property is fronted by Luther Lane and Westchester Drive, offering immediate access to established restaurants, retailers, and services. It also provides convenient connectivity to the Dallas North Tollway and major thoroughfares. The development prioritizes street-level activation with green spaces, tree-lined streets, public art, seating areas, and outdoor dining patios designed to encourage foot traffic and foster community ties.

The 17-story residential tower will deliver 147 luxury units, managed by Willow Bridge Property Management, adding to the neighborhood’s live-work-play environment. The development team is targeting LEED and Fitwel for the office tower, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility and occupant wellness. The residential tower will meet guidelines for the City of Dallas Green Building program. With approximately 1,000 parking spaces across four below-grade and two above-grade levels, the project strikes a balance between accessibility and urban density.

“The market response has been extraordinary,” said Hudson Dozier, vice president at Lincoln Property Company.  “We have more proposals out than available space, which speaks to the pent-up demand for truly exceptional office environments in this location. Companies recognize that attracting and retaining top talent requires this level of workplace quality.”

Dozier elaborated, emphasizing that the overwhelming interest is a direct result of the “flight to quality” trend reshaping the office market. “This isn’t just about premium space; it’s about a complete lifestyle integration. Tenants are demanding Class AA space with amenities that rival those of a luxury hotel, along with seamless, walkable access to high-end dining and retail. This project sits at the epicenter of Dallas’s most affluent residential neighborhoods—Preston Hollow and the Park Cities. For financial, legal, and professional service firms, having a new, vibrant workplace in this precise location is a powerful competitive advantage that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else in the city.”
