- Harwood International is working with Newmark to recapitalize its office portfolio and fund future phases of the Harwood District, a major mixed-use development in Dallas’ Uptown area.
- With the emergence of Y’all Street, spurred by the Texas Stock Exchange and other major financial moves, Harwood sees new growth opportunities ahead of the 2026 World Cup and beyond.
- The Harwood District’s strong leasing performance, 90%+ historical occupancy, and prime Uptown location position it as a prime target for new investors.
According to Bisnow, Harwood International is stepping up efforts to grow its Harwood District in Uptown Dallas. It is working with longtime partner Newmark to recapitalize its portfolio. The move comes as Y’all Street emerges as a major new financial hub.
The Opportunity
The Harwood District, a 30-plus-acre master-planned community, sits at the heart of Uptown Dallas, which commands the city’s highest office and multifamily rents. With the upcoming 2027 Goldman Sachs campus and the launch of the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), Harwood’s leadership sees the area solidifying into a “Capital Corridor” for Dallas.
The Details
Harwood’s recapitalization push comes amid strong performance: the district recorded over 342,000 SF in leasing and $200M in transactions last year, maintaining a 90%+ occupancy rate. Known for its walkability and Katy Trail access, the district is well positioned for future expansion. Newmark, advising Harwood for more than 15 years, will help find new equity and debt partners.

Momentum Behind Y’all Street
Y’all Street’s rise began with TXSE raising $120M from investors like BlackRock and Citadel Securities, aiming to challenge NYSE and Nasdaq starting in 2026. In response, NYSE and Nasdaq announced new expansions into Dallas earlier this year.
Corporate relocations to Texas have also started climbing again after a cooling-off period, setting 2025 up for a potential surge in new entrants.
Why it Matters
Investors are increasingly targeting Uptown Dallas as demand for top-tier mixed-use developments grows. With global attention on Dallas ahead of the World Cup and the financial sector’s shift southward, Harwood’s recapitalization could position it to capture a new wave of growth.
What’s Next
Expect Harwood International to announce new development phases soon as it attracts both domestic and international investment interest. With Dallas continuing to lure major corporate players, the Harwood District’s role in the city’s financial and real estate boom is only set to grow.
