Spanning the Main Street corridor in the historic center of downtown Dallas, the City Center TIF District was established in 1996, and expanded in 2013, to create a base of residential units in the area's existing building stock, and to encourage activation of the street-level environment.
The district has been an unqualified success in transforming the core of downtown into a fully mixed-use environment by supporting over 2,000 new housing units, 400 hotel rooms, and a variety of urban amenities. The Lamar Corridor / West End Sub-district, added in 2013, brings the city's largest historic commercial area and the heart of the city's innovation culture.
