Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 48

Corporate Office Mixed Use
Purpose
Develop the former Texas Department of Transportation site to a corporate
office focused mixed use development.
Importance
The City of Arlington is committed to creating a thriving and vibrant mixeduse environment at this one-of-a-kind location in the city. This site provides an
opportunity to integrate primarily an office campus with other complementary
uses with public spaces, beautiful streetscapes, and pedestrian activity, which is
highly desired in the current marketplace.
As the Entertainment District is intended to be a gathering space for visitors
from around the country, a development of this kind would provide the area
with additional amenities and activities. It is anticipated that there be primarily
office uses with a broad mix of complementary uses including retail, restaurants,
high-density multi-family housing and a civic and/or public facility component.
And as the location is at one of the city’s Entertainment Dsitrict gateways, a high
quality, well-designed corporate office mixed-use development would serve as a
signature development feature as residents and visitors travel into the area.
