Developers have filed building permits for a new apartment tower on downtown Dallas' near east side.

The 10-story high-rise is planned to include a grocery store on the ground floor at Live Oak and Texas streets. The mixed-use project is part of Greystar Real Estate Partners City Lights development and has been in the works since last year.

Building permits show the project will be a 370-unit apartment development with almost 850,000 square feet. So far the permits are valued at almost $100 million.

The high-rise project is planned to include a Tom Thumb grocery store on the ground floor. The building will take more than a year to complete.

It's all part of Greystar's City Lights development, which includes a 424-unit apartment community at Live Oak and Good-Latimer Expressway

When City Lights was first proposed back in 2004, it was planned with a grocery store, high-rise apartments and retail. The project was delayed during the recession and went through bankruptcy, sale and a redesign before Greystar started construction.

Greystar's partner in the project is landowner Malouf Interests.

"We have been working hand in hand with them on the development," said Malouf Interests' Steve Gregory. "It will be first quarter 2020 when we opens the grocery store."

Greystar and Malouf are also working on a third phase.

"We've got three acres on North Central Expressway we will start looking at after we get this one out of the ground."

Greystar just completed a 23-story, 302-unit apartment tower in Dallas' Victory Park.

And the developer is working on other suburban projects.

Almost a dozen high-rise apartment and condo buildings are currently under construction or announced in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
