Dallas
Sears' first distribution facility outside of Chicago, the complex grew from its initial 1910 building to be over a million square feet by the time Sears sold the property in the mid-1990's. The new owners made a major commitment to the redevelopment of the surrounding Cedars neighborhood by converting it to a mixed use facility with more than 450 apartments and 80,000 square feet of commercial space.
Norman Alston Architects directed exterior restoration as well as general preservation consulting on the interior.
