11/18/2026 12:00 pm - 11/18/2026 1:00 pmJoin us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorating the 2025 Young Guns community investment project to renovate the STEAM lab at the Dallas ISD Paul L. Dunbar Learning Center!
With support from industry volunteers, community partners, and generous donors, our project team has transformed an underutilized space into a modern learning environment where students can explore STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) through hands-on experiences.
This project marks our latest completed Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City investment. Following the ribbon-cutting, we will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the 2026 Young Guns project to revamp the school’s courtyard and playground area.
Registration for this event is now open.

11/18/2026 4:00 pm - 11/18/2026 6:00 pmJoin us Wednesday, November 18th as we tour the Henderson Avenue Mixed-Use Development. Spanning 161,000 square feet across 10 buildings between Glencoe Street and McMillan Avenue, this mixed-use development is poised to transform Henderson Avenue into a vibrant destination for retail, dining, and office space by winter 2026. Conceived as a pedestrian-oriented environment, the project places a strong emphasis on thoughtfully designed public spaces, architectural diversity, and brand innovation, while accommodating two levels of below-grade parking.
In response to the established residential character of the surrounding neighborhood, the development transitions in scale from the street edges toward its center. Single-story, smaller-scale buildings anchor each end of the site, gradually giving way to a three-story office and retail building at the center. Rather than adopting the uniform character of a conventional planned development, each building is intentionally distinct in its architectural expression, scale, and identity. Together, they create an eclectic yet cohesive collection of buildings and experiences that establishes a unique sense of place along Henderson Avenue.
Please note: Attendees must wear closed-toed shoes and proper attire for a construction site to participate. Your safety is our top priority, and you will be asked to leave if you are not dressed appropriately.
We'll have a happy hour to follow the tour. The first drink is on TREC!
