The Dallas Arts Tower at 2200 Ross Avenue in Dallas completed its renovation in August 2026, passing its final TDLR accessibility inspection. This project, registered under the name Carrington Coleman, involved a significant interior overhaul of Suite 1800 and 1900 within the City Center District. The work was privately funded by Fortis Property Group, which owns the building, and executed with a design scope managed by Gensler. The project covered 50,802 square feet of office space, transforming the area into a modern workspace for private use.
