Key Takeaways

Tower Sets New Benchmark

According to D Magazine, Pacific Elm Properties is advancing construction of the Bank of America Tower at Parkside in Uptown Dallas. The team targets completion in the first quarter of 2027. Upon delivery, the 30-story tower will rise as Uptown’s tallest building. It will also anchor the district’s rapidly expanding financial landscape.

On March 10, with concrete being poured for the 24th floor, the development team revealed continued leasing momentum. Bank of America has secured nine full floors, while the remaining space is drawing considerable attention, particularly from financial services and law firms.

Texas Stock Exchange Eyes Permanent Home

The Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE)—the Dallas-based challenger to the NYSE and Nasdaq—is close to selecting a permanent headquarters, with Bank of America Tower at Parkside as a leading candidate. Backed by $275M in funding from firms like BlackRock, Citadel Securities, Charles Schwab, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, TXSE has received SEC approval and plans to begin trading this year. Its envisioned Texas Market Center would include executive suites, a business museum, and a broadcast studio for market ceremonies.

Why It Matters

Klyde Warren Park’s surroundings are quickly turning into Dallas’ new financial core. The area already houses major players such as JPMorgan Chase, Texas Capital Bancshares, and the Federal Reserve, with a $500M Goldman Sachs campus underway nearby. This momentum mirrors broader shifts as cities rezone urban cores to support large-scale office and housing growth. The addition of Bank of America Tower—and potentially the headquarters of the Texas Stock Exchange—strengthens this shift in Dallas’ business geography.

Project Features and Timeline

KDC is developing the 500,000 SF Bank of America Tower at Parkside. Pacific Elm Properties, the Miyama Family, and Sixth Street Capital own the project.

KPF designed the tower, while OJB leads the landscape architecture. The building will feature a 12th-floor sky lobby and multiple outdoor terraces. It will also include a tenant fitness center with an outdoor yoga space. In addition, plans call for 7,000 SF of ground-floor retail. The development team is pursuing LEED Gold and Fitwel certifications. They expect to deliver the tower in March 2027.
