Developer Forest City Residential plans to build a high-rise residential building on one of the last empty blocks in Dallas' Cityplace complex.
The more than 20-story building will have 385 apartments and will be constructed at McKinney Avenue and Blackburn Street, according to filings with the City of Dallas.
Retail space is also planned in the mixed-use development that will replace the former Hank Haney Golf Center, which is located just west of North Central Expressway.
The tower will be just across the street from the popular West Village complex.

Forest City Residential – a unit of Cleveland-based developer Forest City Enterprises – has been working on the project for several months.
Officials with Cityplace Co. say the sale is scheduled to close before the end of the year.
Forest City is the same company that is currently redeveloping Downtown's Mercantile Continental Building into 203 apartments.
Forest City also restored the landmark Mercantile National Bank Tower on Main Street and has built a new apartment high-rise called The Element next door.
The Cityplace tract Forest City is building on is one of the five last undeveloped blocks in the project, tract 7A.
