Acadia Realty Trust and 3-O Real Estate Partners have secured nine new retail tenants for their upcoming mixed-use development on Henderson Avenue in Dallas. The project, which spans a quarter-mile between Glencoe Street and McMillan Avenue, is expected to open its doors in spring 2027.
Why it matters
The development aims to establish a distinct merchandising strategy and design for the area by integrating a collection of buildings connected by landscaped walkways. This project looks to create a unique shopping destination by grouping premium retailers within a pedestrian-focused environment.
The Henderson Avenue project spans approximately 0.25 miles and will ultimately consist of about 12 buildings. Nine new retail leases were recently announced to join previous tenants like Ariat and Alberta Boot Co.
The players
Acadia Realty Trust
This real estate investment trust focuses on owning and developing high-quality retail properties in prominent urban and suburban markets.
GFF
This architecture firm specializes in planning and design for commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments.
The details
The retail development is currently in the design phase and will feature nine buildings connected by public spaces and walkways to foster a cohesive retail corridor. Tenants joining the development include Beyond Yoga, Vuori, Lululemon, Jenni Kayne, Zadig & Voltaire, Sam Edelman, Frankies Bikinis, Moscot, and Catbird.
Timeline
Several retail tenants were initially announced for the development in 2026.
Many retail tenants are scheduled to open their doors in spring 2027.
Market Landscape
The Henderson Avenue project follows the broader industry trend of prioritizing pedestrian-oriented mixed-use lifestyle centers over traditional enclosed malls to attract high-end retail tenants. This strategy shifts market share toward open-air developments that integrate shopping with community-focused public space.
Local shoppers will gain access to several brands that previously lacked stand-alone storefronts in the North Texas market, such as Beyond Yoga and Frankies Bikinis. Residents can anticipate a new pedestrian-friendly retail hub upon the project's completion in 2027.
The takeaway
The transformation of Henderson Avenue highlights a shift toward curated, walkable retail districts in growing urban centers. Consumers interested in these brands should watch for updates as the development moves from design into the construction phase ahead of the 2027 opening.
