Stockdale Preston & Forest

Stockdale Preston & Forest is a $9,000,000 renovation of the 107,192 sq ft Preston & Forest office building at 11700 Preston Road Suite 810 in North Dallas. This substantial alteration project involves the demolition of existing interior finishes and a complete remodel of the exterior and roof. The scope includes the addition of new stairs and an elevator to the structure. Construction began in August 2025, and the work is scheduled to finish in October 2026.

Project Scope and Design

GFF Design serves as the design firm of record for this complex undertaking. The renovation is not a simple cosmetic update but a structural and functional overhaul of the existing facility. The project includes significant changes to the building's vertical circulation and envelope. This approach allows for modernized interior spaces while updating the building's exterior appearance and roof system. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Kara-lee Satterfield Wilson.

The estimated cost of $9,000,000 represents an investment of approximately $84 per square foot. This figure is above the Dallas County median of $72 per square foot for similar renovation and alteration filings. The scheduled build window of 455 days is significantly longer than the county median of 92 days for this project type. This extended timeline reflects the complexity of demolishing interior finishes and installing new vertical transportation systems in an occupied or active commercial building.
