EDITION Hotels is coming to Texas for the first time. Kaizen Development Partners and Douglas Elliman Real Estate have selected EDITION as the hotel and residential flag for Chalk Hill, a landmark mixed-use development in Uptown Dallas, in an announcement that signals the city’s arrival as a genuine global luxury destination.
The Dallas EDITION Hotel and The Residences at The Dallas EDITION will rise at 3031 N. Harwood Street on a 2.5-acre site at the gateway to Uptown, with direct access to the Katy Trail and the Dallas North Tollway. The project is the hospitality component of Kaizen’s wider Chalk Hill development, a $650 million-plus scheme that also includes a 22-storey, 400,000 sq ft Class A office tower, and is expected to deliver by the end of 2028.
The hotel and residential tower will stand 29 storeys. Plans call for 214 guest rooms and suites alongside 60 branded residences, with one-bedroom units priced from $1.5 million. At the tower’s crown, a 6,866 sq ft penthouse on the 29th floor will offer more than 3,300 sq ft of private outdoor space, described by the developer as a glass pavilion without precedent in Dallas residential living.
A design team assembled for precision
The project brings together a cross-disciplinary design collaboration. Architecture is led by Dallas-based BOKA Powell, with interiors conceived by New York studio Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, a firm closely associated with several of EDITION’s most acclaimed properties worldwide. Landscape architecture is a joint venture between SWA and Singapore’s SCDA.
Each of the 60 residences will open onto a private terrace, connecting interior living to the landscape. Residents will receive preferred access to the hotel’s culinary programming and wellness offerings, integrating the branded residence model that EDITION has refined across its international portfolio.
What the hotel will offer
The 214-key hotel will feature a signature restaurant and bar, ballroom and meeting spaces, and a pool deck described in project materials as cinematic. A full-service spa anchored by hydrotherapy and recovery amenities will sit alongside a holistic wellbeing centre offering fitness, movement and longevity experiences guided by a dedicated wellness concierge.
The wellness positioning reflects a broader shift across luxury hospitality, where recovery amenities and longevity programming have moved from differentiators to baseline expectations among high-net-worth guests. EDITION’s inclusion of a dedicated wellness concierge, rather than standard fitness provision, places Chalk Hill at the more intensive end of that spectrum.
The brand behind the flag
EDITION was conceived by hotel impresario Ian Schrager in partnership with Marriott International, and is now among the most design-driven flags in global luxury hospitality. Each property in the portfolio is conceived as a distinct entity, shaped by the culture and character of its location rather than a standardised template. The brand currently operates more than 20 properties worldwide, including locations in London, Miami Beach, Tokyo, Rome, Barcelona, Lake Como and the Red Sea.
The Dallas announcement follows confirmed EDITION plans for Nashville, where a 261-key hotel and 84 residences are in development. The Texas debut extends the brand’s US footprint further south and west, into a market it has not previously entered.
Dana Jacobsohn, Chief Development Officer, North America Luxury and Global Mixed-Use at Marriott International, described Dallas as embodying energy, growth and sophistication, calling it the perfect home for the EDITION brand and adding that the residences are set to deliver a new benchmark in design and service for discerning buyers.
Derrick Evers, Managing Partner and CEO of Kaizen Development Partners, framed the selection as a response to the scale and visibility of the Chalk Hill site. “Chalk Hill demanded a thoughtful, design-driven approach,” he said. “By bringing EDITION to Texas for the first time, we are creating a destination where global sophistication meets Dallas soul.”
Why Dallas, why now
The timing is not coincidental. Dallas-Fort Worth is among the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing sustained international attention to the market in the near term. Lodging Econometrics projects Dallas will lead US hotel openings in 2027 with 37 new projects and 3,198 rooms, reflecting developer confidence in sustained demand.
The corporate relocation wave that defined Dallas over the past five years has materially changed the buyer profile in the luxury residential market. Executives relocating from New York, San Francisco and Chicago have brought with them expectations shaped by globally branded living, and the local market has been slow to match supply to that demand.
Chalk Hill sits on the former site of public broadcaster KERA, which Kaizen acquired in 2023 and relocated to a smaller facility on the northern end of the campus. Demolition of the existing structures began in mid-2025, and the development is now under active construction.
The $1.5 million entry price for one-bedroom residences and the penthouse’s sheer scale will serve as genuine market tests. If the residential programme sells at pace, expect the pipeline of branded residences in Dallas to deepen considerably in the years ahead.
