Industrial + Retail

Scene

Dallas, TX

A district is defined as an area unified by a shared identity, function, and sense of place. That idea anchors Inwood Design District and Ace on Inwood, a single 14-building campus positioned as two complementary properties along Inwood Road. What sets this development apart is the decision to treat industrial and retail not as separate assets, but as one cohesive placemaking strategy. Strategy and ingenuity inform every decision, from suite design to district-wide branding, reinforcing M2G Ventures’ philosophy of placemaking industrial and retail in practice.

Inwood Design District – Industrial

630,000 SF across 10 buildings of showroom, light industrial, and distribution space.

Ace on Inwood – Retail

109,233 SF across 4 buildings of restaurant and retail space fronting Inwood Road.

This 38-acre, 14-building campus has undergone a full repositioning built on the property’s industrial foundation rather than around it. A site-wide exterior refresh grounded in a black-and-white palette now carries across every building, complemented by new fabric awnings, steel canopies, and refreshed facades. Updated parking layouts, ADA accessibility improvements, and district-wide LED lighting modernize the infrastructure, while landscape lighting and new greenery bring texture to Ace on Inwood’s storefronts, with early mural work along Inwood Road setting the stage for the district-wide art program that followed. These touches are vital to executing on the shared placemaking goal – Inwood Design District and Ace on Inwood have a soul that most industrial and retail parks don’t, and together they create a one-of-a-kind destination.

Locality is a major differentiator of this development. Positioned at the Inwood Road and Irving Boulevard interchange, the campus sits just 0.3 miles from I-35, 2.2 miles from the Dallas Design District, and 2.4 miles from the Dallas Tollway, an infill location between the Design District and Brookhollow submarkets with unmatched access, visibility, and optionality. It’s roughly 1.0 mile to the Southwestern Medical District, 3.3 miles to Dallas Love Field, 4.2 miles to Uptown, 4.5 miles to Downtown Dallas, and 13 miles to DFW Airport. That access places both the industrial and retail sides of the campus inside one of Dallas’ most active and rapidly growing urban corridors, with more than 33,000 vehicles traveling Inwood Road daily and nearly 100,000 vehicles passing along I-35.

The Inwood Roster: Industrial Meets Retail

Inwood Design District and Ace on Inwood attract two distinct but complementary tenant bases under one district. Inwood Design District’s 10 buildings and 630,000 SF of light industrial, showroom, and distribution space serve last-mile logistics operators, showroom brands, and design-forward businesses. Ace on Inwood’s 4 buildings and 109,000 SF of retail space are built for restaurants, retailers, and experiential concepts that want visibility on Inwood Road creating a dynamic regional neighborhood. Each building was engineered with function in mind – upgraded utilities, storefront glazing, and district-wide signage – making every suite flexible and ready to meet demand.

The attracted tenants required a discerning eye and a desire to be part of an innovative community on both the industrial and retail sides of the campus. Commerce collected together. Construction is complete and the district is fully open, with move-in-ready suites now leasing on both sides of the campus.

Signature Availability: The centerpiece of Ace’s current availability is the reconstructed end cap at 1348 Inwood Rd, a demisable 5,850 SF space with floor-to-ceiling glass storefronts, built out as a premier restaurant opportunity, paired with a 1,600 SF patio designed for high-visibility outdoor activation.

Square Feet Of Industrial Walls Transformed

Art is woven into every corner of Inwood Design District and Ace on Inwood, turning everyday industrial walls into something worth stopping for. That identity took root in late 2025, when 3D chalk muralists Jan Riggins and Naomi Haverland installed a four-panel series along Inwood Road, the district’s first high-visibility signal of what the campus would become.

That momentum culminated in The Art Docks, a curated mural collection led by M2G Chief Creative Officer Katie Murray. From more than 100 submissions, a five-person jury narrowed the field to 18 artists: 11 Texas-based, a broader national cohort, and two international muralists from Spain and London. Together they reinvigorated walls along Conveyor Lane and Security Drive that had sat untouched for more than two decades, with work spanning the figurative to the futuristic. Integrated seating, landscaping, and lighting carry that identity beyond the murals themselves, making art a functional part of daily life on-site rather than simply something to view.

Rather than a single focal piece, The Art Docks unfolds as a continuous experience, closer to a curated gallery walk than a scattering of individual murals. The gallery’s backdrop is a former industrial alley, once home to loading docks. That setting is intentional: the contrast between raw, working infrastructure and layered artwork is the point, not an accident. The project extends M2G’s earlier work at Inspiration Alley in Fort Worth’s Foundry District, once named one of USA Today’s “10 Reasons Why Fort Worth Is Visit Worthy,” bringing that same art-first philosophy to Dallas.
