DALLAS — Dallas-based Harwood International, a global real estate developer and investor, plans to break ground on District 1444: The Design Village, a mixed-use village located at the southeast corner of Dragon Street and Oak Lawn Avenue in the Dallas Design District. District 1444 will feature 224 apartment units, a rooftop junior Olympic pool with cabanas, views of the Dallas skyline, a fitness center, fire pits, game room, gardens and more than 46,000 square feet of retail space. An architectural team led by Laura Lleal and Ben Cortez of Harwood Design Factory LLC is designing the property. Harwood has signed three of the five restaurant spaces to lease deals and will break ground on the development in the spring. The Dallas Design District began as a post World War II collection of warehouses and has since transformed into a mixed-use residential district.
