New Details Released About OHT Partners’ Ambassador Hotel Redevelopment Project
A slate of luxury apartments at the former Ambassador Hotel site — the historic hotel southeast of downtown Dallas that was destroyed by fire in 2019 — could be ready for tenants in 2026, developers with OHT Partners announced last week.
Texas-based multifamily development, construction, and investment firm OHT Partners recently began site work for a 299-unit luxury apartment community on about 2.5 acres at 1300 S. Ervay St. The first units could open as early as the third quarter of 2026, while the remainder is set for completion in 2027, officials said.
To respect and reflect the historical significance of the site, which was destroyed by fire in 2019, OHT Partners and Dallas-based architect firm Corgan worked closely with the City of Dallas, the Historic Landmark Commission, and local advocacy groups. Doing so led to the creation of a set of historic preservation guidelines that adhere to the design language of the original building in a new and elegant form, according to an OHT press release.
