Proper Hospitality will enter the Dallas market with a new 34-story luxury hotel and residential tower in Uptown, in partnership with Lincoln Property Company. The Dallas Proper Hotel & Residences will be built on a 4-acre site near Cedar Springs Road. The development is set to include a 200-room hotel, 80 residences, a 15,000-square-foot wellness center, and a private social club. Construction is scheduled to begin next year, with completion expected in 2029.
Lincoln Property Company, headquartered in Dallas, acquired the property in March 2024. The initial vision was for a large-scale mixed-use project, including significant office space and possibly multiple towers. It is not yet clear how much of the original plan will be retained, but the hotel component remains central to the project.
The new hotel adds to Uptown Dallas’s growing luxury hotel sector, joining established names such as The Mansion on Turtle Creek, the Ritz-Carlton, and The Crescent. Other hotels in the area include the Stoneleigh Hotel, which is being converted to Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection.
Proper Hospitality currently operates hotels in Austin, Santa Monica, San Francisco, and Downtown Los Angeles, as well as the Avalon boutique brand. Kelly Wearstler will lead the interior design for the Dallas project, continuing her work on Proper’s aesthetic from other cities. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has been selected as the architecture firm for the tower.
The wellness center planned for the project will offer holistic therapies along with fitness and recovery facilities. The members-only Proper Club will feature a restaurant, bar, pool, lounge, and workspaces. Residences will be located on the upper floors of the tower and will include one- to four-bedroom homes and a selection of penthouses. Amenities for residents will include a rooftop pool, dining terrace, and lounge.
Lincoln co-CEO Clay Duvall commented on the partnership: “rare opportunity to shape a meaningful part of Uptown,” calling Proper “the ideal partner for creating a landmark.”
The development will replace a midcentury retail strip that was previously owned by Greenway Investment Company.
