400 North Ervay, Historic Downtown Dallas Post Office & Courthouse,
renovated into 78 luxury apartments with ground floor retail and rooftop terrace garden, opens October 2011
Capping a lengthy renovation process, the historic Downtown Dallas U.S. Post Office and Federal Courthouse building opens in October, 2011 as 78 luxury rental units with ground floor retail and a 20,000 square foot rooftop terrace garden. The building dates to 1930.
Built of limestone with marble and terra cotta on the inside, the old Post Office was one of downtown’s last unused historic buildings.
The project is called "400 North Ervay" and its location is really unexcelled ... office towers, Main Street Gardens and Woodall Rodgers Deck Park, shopping, top restaurants, theater, museums, and art galleries are all just steps away from the building, and it is located right next door to a DART rail station.
It has a very Upper East Side, NYC look to it.
