What is LOL?

Lower Oak Lawn is a neighborhood 50 years in the making – pairing rich history with an eclectic new vibe. LOL is where converted warehouses and newly constructed apartments merge to create a vivacious new neighborhood with a decidedly established feel.

LOL is a magnet for art galleries, decorator showrooms and upscale urban living. Three new apartment communities have recently opened since 2009 and are now fully leased, giving the community a new dimension and vibrancy. A fourth high-rise residential project is currently under construction and scheduled to open in late 2012. Lower Oak Lawn will continue to evolve as one of the most interesting and eclectic communities in Dallas.

Where is LOL?

Lower Oak Lawn is at the doorstep of the Design District. A stone’s throw from downtown and verging on Victory Park, Lower Oak Lawn is positioned at the crossroads of the city’s most thriving urban neighborhoods. The Dallas North Tollway’s new Oak Lawn exit provides easy access to Lower Oak Lawn, which is situated just west of I-35. Looking for LOL? Find us.

Who is developing Lower Oak Lawn?

Lower Oak Lawn is an urban redevelopment conceived by PegasusAblon in partnership with The Lionstone Group. Due to the insight, vision and expertise of the PegasusAblon team, Lower Oak Lawn is amid a metamorphosis. Over the next couple of years the community will feature 1,000-plus multifamily residences and a dozen or more new restaurants and retail establishments.

Sites are also planned for a boutique hotel and office development. New developments in Lower Oak Lawn are carefully planned to coexist and enhance the established neighborhood and tenancy rather than replace them. The showroom tenancy and industry influence remain core to the entire project.
