$800M Preston Hollow Proposal Faces Request for More Review Time
Traffic concerns have prompted a request to move the council hearing to November 10. The requested postponement is separate from a final council decision.
A proposed mixed-use redevelopment at Preston Road and Royal Lane faces a request for additional review before Dallas City Council considers its zoning. Council member Gay Donnell Willis has said she will seek a postponement from October 14 to November 10 so traffic work can continue.
The development from Burk Interests and Greenway Investment Company has been reported at approximately $800 million. That is a development estimate, not an awarded construction contract. The request for more time should also be kept separate from the council’s eventual action.
Project at a Glance
- Developers:

- Approximately $800 million
- Location:
- Preston Road and Royal Lane
- Requested hearing date:
- November 10
Traffic work remains part of the approval path
The proposal combines residential, hotel and commercial uses in an established neighborhood. Its effect on surrounding intersections and travel routes is part of the entitlement debate, alongside the buildings themselves.
Additional traffic analysis could affect access arrangements or improvements associated with the project. Current reporting does not establish final conditions, a revised construction budget or an issued notice to proceed. Those outcomes will depend on the formal planning and council record.
Earlier planning progress is not a field start
The City Plan Commission advanced the rezoning in August, while the council hearing remains the immediate decision point. A favorable recommendation at one stage does not replace the subsequent action required for a development to proceed.
For a mixed-use project of this scale, entitlement, detailed design, financing and construction procurement are separate steps. Progress in one does not establish completion of the others. The reported value should not be divided among buildings or trades without a disclosed cost plan.
What to track after the hearing
The useful next evidence is the council’s recorded action and any agreed traffic or access requirements. A confirmed postponement would move the approval calendar; it would not necessarily establish a new construction-start date.
A general-contractor appointment, final building program and phased delivery schedule would provide the next clear signals for the construction market. Until those appear, the project remains a large proposal under review, with traffic planning influencing its path through the city.
