The former is already set in stone due to The Epic’s property owner, Westdale Asset Management, promising as part of its end of the Uber arrangement to construct a previously unannounced fourth high-rise that will now join the three long-confirmed builds within plans for the city block-wide development it first publicly teased in 2015. Perhaps that’s because it plans on kicking in funds alongside its future neighbors to pay for off-duty Dallas police to continue their efforts at better securing the area? Yeah, at least that much, one would certainly hope.īut what other changes might Uber and its notably not diverse workforce bring to the neighborhood? This much we can say for sure: Its arrival will bring additional massive real estate developments to the neighborhood, and it will also put the future of some of Deep Ellum’s most significant landmark businesses in jeopardy. If nothing else, the commitment seemingly indicates that the brand ain’t exactly fazed by the recent uptick of violent crime in the area. Uber promises that its Deep Ellum facilities - selected over a potential site in Phoenix and coming alongside a similarly sized, just-announced new hub in Chicago - will house 3,000 employees, the bulk of which it anticipates as working within its finance, sales and human resources departments, with salaries it says will average out to $100,000 annually per worker. Specifically, the historically problematic and financially struggling “tech” company has agreed to a 10-year lease on 450,000 square feet of office space within the massive, multi-use real estate development called The Epic, which is still right now being constructed along the westernmost edge of Dallas’ most culturally significant neighborhood.
