Dallas Area Rapid Transit is advancing plans to redevelop more than 18 acres at its Westmoreland Station in southern Dallas and has issued a request for qualifications to potential development teams. The agency is seeking ideas for a mixed-use project at the station, with the City of Dallas in the process of changing zoning to support a combination of housing, retail and office uses on the site.
According to the city, the rezoning effort is underway to create a framework that will allow a mix of residential and commercial density around the transit stop. The updated zoning is expected to be in place by summer 2027, setting the stage for private development proposals to move forward once the entitlement process is complete.
The Westmoreland Station initiative adds to what has become a growing development portfolio for Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Reporting from the Dallas Business Journal highlights several other projects tied to the transit network that illustrate how the agency is leveraging its stations for real estate investment and ridership growth.
Among these is Palladium Buckner Station, which includes a 300-unit multifamily community. The property offers green space along with direct access to both bus and rail service, underscoring the integration of residential density with transit connections at that location.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit is also involved in the redevelopment of SMU/Mockingbird Station into a multiphase mixed-use destination. Plans there include a 394-unit apartment community as part of a broader program that adds new residential supply alongside existing transit infrastructure.
In Carrollton, Trinity Mills Station represents another key node in the portfolio. The first phase of a 25-acre development at that station opened in 2025, bringing new uses to a large land assemblage connected to the transit system and signaling the scale at which the agency is pursuing station-area projects.
The agency is simultaneously advancing Addison Junction, a mixed-use development located near a new Silver Line station. Plans for Addison Junction call for housing, retail, restaurants, office space and a hotel, with groundbreaking currently anticipated for 2027, aligning the delivery of new real estate with the expansion of rail service.
For the Westmoreland Station effort, responses to the current request for qualifications are due to Dallas Area Rapid Transit on December 15. The agency expects to narrow the field of respondents to a group of finalists by March 2027, after which more detailed proposals and negotiations would be anticipated once the new zoning framework is in place.
Together, these station-related projects show how Dallas Area Rapid Transit is working with public and private partners to reposition land around existing and planned rail infrastructure. While specific development programs and capital structures will vary by site, the common thread is an emphasis on integrating residential, retail, office and other uses with direct access to transit across the network.
