Epic plans for Deep Ellum

​​​DALLAS – Westdale and KDC have started construction on The Epic, a mixed-use, transit-oriented development in Dallas’ Deep Ellum neighborhood.

The Epic will be developed on an eight-acre site currently occupied by the historic Union Bankers Building at Good Latimer Expy. and Pacific St. next to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Deep Ellum Station.

KDC is developing the 250,000-sf office tower, which will have an average floor plate of 25,000 sf on ten office floors. KDC will seek LEED Gold certification for the core and shell. Perkins + Will is the architect. Balfour Beatty is the general contractor.

A new Pittman Hotel will be built within the existing Union Bankers Building. Vine Street Ventures Inc. is developing the 164-room boutique hotel.

The Epic will also include a 300-unit residential tower developed by StreetLights Residential. At 20 stories, it will be the second tallest building in Deep Ellum. Looney Ricks Kiss is the architect, 5G Studio is the interior designer, and StreetLights Residential is the general contractor.

Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer for the entire project. The office tower, hotel, and residential tower are slated for completion in late 2019.
