Chicago-based developer Sterling Bay hopes to lure more office workers to Dallas’ Deep Ellum district.

Last month, the developer bought more than 2.5 acres at Malcolm X Boulevard and Indiana Street near Baylor Scott & White’s sprawling medical center.

Sterling Bay is eyeing plans for a 13-story office and retail block that would stretch along DART’s Deep Ellum rail line between Elm Street and Gaston Avenue.

Early designs for the project — designed by Dallas architect HKS — show a brick and glass building with a rooftop terrace and killer views of the downtown Dallas skyline.

Sterling Bay representatives confirmed that the architectural renderings making the rounds of the local real estate brokerage community show what the developer hopes to build.

The planned project would be one of the largest new buildings on the way for Deep Ellum, a historic commercial district on the eastern edge of downtown that’s being transformed with new residential and office construction.

Along with Sterling Bay’s project, other buildings are on the way by developers Hines, KDC, Westdale Real Estate and StreetLights Residential.
