The 16-story community also offers a curated collection of amenities, including distinctive experiences like a karaoke speakeasy, meditation room, podcast and recording studios and a vintage arcade inspired by Texas movie director Wes Anderson.

"The area around Modera St. Paul has emerged over the last five years as one of Dallas' most sought-after metropolitan neighborhoods," said Michael Blackwell, senior managing director of development in North Texas for Mill Creek. "First the Farmers Market, then East Quarter and now Harwood Park—it's clear that this neighborhood is becoming one of the most exciting destinations in the city.

"Residents will not only enjoy a world-class park just steps away but also benefit from the exceptional year-round programming provided by Downtown Dallas Inc., which features events like movie nights, goat yoga and pickleball tournaments. Within a short walk, residents also have access to a diverse mix of restaurants, brewpubs, shopping and more than 200,000 jobs, putting everything they might need just moments away. We're excited to officially join the neighborhood and open our doors to residents."
