Turtle Creek Highrise Area
Turtle Creek Dallas


Since the 1950s the high-rises on Turtle Creek have connoted luxury, power and prestige. Many of the residents are still walking distance from their former Highland Park homes. These buildings provide a splendid view of Turtle Creek and a proximity to downtown and the country club. Many Preston Hollow Estate homeowners have given up their land for the convenience of high-rise living. At the turn of the 21st century construction continued on new luxury high-rise residences. The West Village, the Katy Trail and other new developments make these buildings increasingly attractive to a younger clientele. La Tour and some high-rises off Turtle Creek have been included in this section for your convenience. La Tour is inhabited by young professionals and those who prefer the immediate urban life of a commercial district over the more sedate setting of Turtle Creek.


Howard Meyer designed this modern mid-century highrise.

This Turtle Creek highrise was the first luxury apartment building in Dallas. It is sheathed in a bris soleil and remains current today.

This 1950's highrise is nestled between Turtle Creek and the Katy Trail and next to the exclusive Enclave Park Bridge Court. While not as showy as some of the highrises on the west side of Turtle Creek, nestled into the trees, it has the most intimacy to the surrounding neighborhood of restaurants and galleries.

The Mansion Residence - Turtle Creek Dallas
The Mansion Residence at 2801 Turtle Creek is considered the most exclusive in the city. The adjacent hotel was originally the Shepherd King mansion designed by John Allen Boyle.
