Dallas has always been known for doing things big. Big business, big ambition, big lives and, now, a big new identity. As global financial powerhouses such as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq set up shop here, and the Texas Stock Exchange debuts here in 2026, the city’s unofficial new moniker — Y’all Street — is already more than just a catchy nickname. It’s a signal that Dallas isn’t just part of the conversation: It is leading it.
This shift is transforming Dallas into one of the nation’s most dynamic financial centers, a place where opportunity, lifestyle, and culture already converge in truly Texan fashion. The arrival of major exchanges and financial institutions represents more than symbolic growth. It marks a seismic shift in confidence — and Wall Street is most definitely looking south. Joining them are major players such as Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, both expanding their presence in the region, and North Texas–based Charles Schwab, significantly expanding its branch network nationwide.
According to the Texas Demographic Center, in the next 10 years North Texas — made up of Dallas, Fort Worth, and the surrounding cities — is projected to grow to 10 million people, surpassing Chicago to become the third-largest U.S. metro area. And in 25 years, says the North Central Texas Council of Governments, North Texas is set to cross 12 million people, gaining on the heels of Los Angeles, the second-largest metro. The 2026 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, a joint effort between PwC and the Urban Land Institute, names Fort Worth and Dallas — the latter home to more than 20 Fortune 500 companies — the No. 1 business magnet of the South.
For professionals in finance, tech, law, and beyond, Dallas has become a serious contender for those seeking career growth and a high quality of life. With the city’s GDP up more than 36 percent from 2020 to 2023 and a business climate ranked as the most attractive for corporate headquarters relocations in the country, Dallas is setting a new standard for what economic expansion can look like. But economic growth isn’t the only appeal in this consistently favorite region for national and global investment. Each wave of corporate investment brings a ripple of opportunity, from new restaurants and galleries to luxury housing and top-tier schools. Dallas–Fort Worth is now home to more than 8.3 million residents, a figure that continues to rise as the region attracts both corporations and creatives seeking balance and vibrancy in equal measure.
This growth has spurred a renaissance in Dallas, transforming it into a true live-work-play destination where culture and commerce intersect seamlessly. What truly distinguishes Dallas from other emerging financial hubs is its commitment to the arts. Anchored by the Dallas Arts District — the largest contiguous arts district in the nation — the city’s cultural core offers an unmatched concentration of museums, theaters, public art, and world-class dining. In the center of it all stands HALL Arts Residences, a stunning, 28-story tower that embodies the very essence of this enriched Dallas — sophisticated, artful, and architecturally refined. Just steps from cultural landmarks such as the Winspear Opera House and the Wyly Theatre, HALL Arts Residences was designed for those who appreciate both inspiration and tranquility.

The Gallery Penthouse primary suite
Each of the 50 exclusive homes — only 10 remain as of this writing — features expansive terraces and high-end finishes that reflect a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in residential design. Among them, The Gallery Penthouse offers an extraordinary, full-floor living experience on the 26th level. Designed by Abeyta Architecture Studio with interiors curated by Neal Thomas Enterprises, the home blends bold architectural features with serene, refined spaces. Highlights include direct elevator access, 14-foot ceilings, 12-foot pocket doors, hand-troweled plaster walls, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and multiple terraces, including one off the sumptuous primary suite.

HALL Arts Building amenities
The building features other exceptional offerings, too, such as homes in the Masterpiece Collection, on floors 20 through 25; the Canvas Penthouse, a build-to-suit shell on the 27th floor of nearly 4,000 square feet; and the Sky Terrace Penthouse, coming in early 2026, on the building’s top floor and with its own private pool.
Each of these homes is thoughtfully designed to deliver unmatched luxury, especially when paired with the tower’s many built-in luxuries, which include a resort-style pool, soothing spa, fireplace, putting green, fitness center, treatment room, private dining room, wine-tasting room, private wine lockers, and private dog park. It is also the first multifamily tower in Texas to receive WELL Gold Certification, a global system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring building performance as it relates to the health and well-being of residents, staff, and guests.
With so few homes remaining, HALL Arts Residences represents a rare opportunity to own at the intersection of art, architecture, and elevated urban living. The energy in Dallas is undeniable. Between the global spotlight of Dallas playing host to nine matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the city’s growing role as a financial powerhouse, the Big D is entering a big new era, one defined by innovation, investment and international appeal. A July 2025 story in the Wall Street Journal trumpeted the headline, “Welcome to Dallas: The City That Just Can’t Stop Expanding,” and cited the area’s growth, energy, and “morning-in-America confidence.” For those considering relocation or seeking a more inspired way to live in the city, HALL Arts Residences represents more than just a luxury address. It’s a front-row seat to Dallas’s cultural and economic evolution — a place where art, architecture, and opportunity align.
