Oak Cliff Tower

Constructed in 1965, Oak Cliff Tower is the tallest high-rise and largest multi-tenant building in Oak Cliff. Our long-term vision is to transform it into a Class A property through comprehensive infrastructure upgrades and refined aesthetic enhancements, aligning with the high standards of other Jim Lake Companies projects.

Jefferson Tower

Located on Jefferson Boulevard, home to some of Dallas’ most historic and iconic architecture, Jefferson Tower stands as an 8-story, mixed-use building distinguished by its rich history and unique character. Built in 1922, the Tower retains much of its original craftsmanship and artistry, most notably showcased in the intricate ceiling of its lobby.

Bishop Arts District

Situated in the heart of North Oak Cliff, the Bishop Arts District features over 60 independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and art galleries, establishing it as one of Dallas' most distinctive neighborhoods.

“When someone tells me ‘no’ and tries to shut the door in my face, it makes me work harder.”

“Seeing the difference that we make in a neighborhood and community, taking our skillset, and giving back to the community, is very important. I think we always say, ‘We can’t do it all, but if we can do a project in a certain area and make a difference, then other people can come in and redevelop around us.’”
