At $50–$100 per application, guessing wrong adds up. Every Building, Published Rents ## All 2 Design District High Rises Compared The Design District has two high rise communities, Dallas Urby and 1400 HiLine, and both are offering 3 months free. That makes it the strongest net-effective value among A+ towers in Dallas. | Building | Class | Built | Floors | Beds | Rent range | Current special | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dallas Urby 1930 Hi Line Dr | A+ · 4.7★ | 2022 | 27 | 0-2BR | $1,900–$3,950 | 3 mo free + $500 GC | | 1400 HiLine 1400 Hi Line Dr · Hines | A+ · 3.9★ | 2013/2024 | 23 | 0-2BR | $1,998–$3,925 | 3 mo free | Rents are published ranges across unit types and change weekly. Ratings are resident review averages; class reflects the asset (age, finishes, management). We confirm live pricing and concessions with each leasing office before you tour. Rents & Specials ## Why 3 Months Free Changes the Math Both Design District towers are offering **3 months free**, the deepest concession we're tracking anywhere in Dallas. **Dallas Urby** (1930 Hi Line Dr, 2022, 27 floors, 4.7 stars) adds a $500 gift card on top, and runs **$1,900 to $3,950**. **1400 HiLine** (1400 Hi Line Dr, Hines, renovated 2024, 23 floors) runs **$1,998 to $3,925**. Here's what that does to rent. On a 12-month lease, 3 months free is a 25% discount spread across the year. A $2,400 unit with 3 months free works out to about **$1,800 a month net effective**, which puts a new A+ tower in the same range as Downtown conversions and older towers. Two cautions. First, how the free months are applied matters: upfront, spread across the term, or at the end. Second, your renewal will be quoted on base rent, not net effective rent. We walk you through both before you sign, and our Building Comparison Tool shows the effect side by side.

Building by Building ## Dallas Urby vs. 1400 HiLine **Dallas Urby** is the newer and taller of the two, built in 2022 with 27 floors and studios through 2-bedrooms. Residents rate it 4.7 stars, one of the higher averages among Dallas towers in its price range. Its current offer is 3 months free plus a $500 gift card. **1400 HiLine** is a Hines-managed tower originally built in 2013 and renovated in 2024. It has 23 floors, studios through 2-bedrooms, and a 3.9-star average. It's also offering 3 months free. In practice, renters choosing between them usually decide on floor plan and view. Both towers look toward the Downtown skyline from upper floors, and both are close enough to the Medical District for a quick commute. We'll pull live availability at both so you can compare the same floor plan, floor level and net effective rent. Commutes & Transit ## Getting Around from the Design District The Design District sits along **Stemmons Freeway (I-35E)** just northwest of Downtown, with **Hi Line Drive** as its main residential street. Galleries, showrooms and restaurants line the blocks between the two towers, and the **Trinity Strand Trail** gives you a paved route for walking, running and biking. The **Southwestern Medical District**, including UT Southwestern and Parkland, is next door. That's a big reason healthcare transferees and medical residents shortlist this corridor. Uptown and Victory Park are a short drive east, and Downtown is just south. It's a quieter, more spread-out neighborhood than Uptown. Plan on driving or rideshare for most errands, and ask us about each building's garage terms. Fit Check ## Who the Design District Suits Best The Design District is ideal for **value-focused renters who still want new A+ construction**. With 3 months free, net effective rent here can match older buildings elsewhere. It's a natural fit for **healthcare professionals and medical transferees** working at the Southwestern Medical District, and for **creative professionals** who like gallery streets over nightlife strips. It suits you less if you want a big choice of towers (there are two), or a highly walkable daily routine. Uptown and Downtown are better for car-free living. What Renters Tell Us ## What Our Renters Tell Us > "Transferring from Chicago with three weeks to find a place, I got five buildings near my Uptown office, live video tours, and signed without a second trip." Placeholder A.Uptown > "They told me upfront which towers would accept my credit. One application, one approval, no wasted fees." Placeholder B.Victory Park Areas We Cover ## Between the Levee and I-35E: Local Context The Design District sits just northwest of Downtown in ZIP 75207, boxed in by **I-35E** on the north and east, Wycliff Avenue and the **Trinity River levee** on the west, and Continental Avenue on the south. It began as a warehouse district and is now known for design showrooms, galleries and, more recently, upscale apartments. That compact footprint explains the concessions. Only two towers, **Dallas Urby** and **1400 HiLine**, compete for renters on **Hi Line Drive**, and both currently offer 3 months free. The levee next door is part of a system the city finished in 1931 and has run since 1968, protecting about 10,000 acres of developed land along the river. The **Southwestern Medical District** spans about 1,000 acres and employs more than 35,000 people across UT Southwestern, Parkland and Children's Medical Center Dallas. For hospital staff, that means one of the shortest commutes of any A+ high rise in the city.

Two: Dallas Urby (27 floors) and 1400 HiLine (23 floors), both on Hi Line Drive. ### Are both towers really offering 3 months free? Yes. Both Dallas Urby and 1400 HiLine are currently offering 3 months free, and Dallas Urby adds a $500 gift card. We confirm terms and lease length before you apply. ### What does 3 months free do to my rent? On a 12-month lease it's roughly a 25% discount. A $2,400 base rent works out to about $1,800 a month net effective. ### What happens at renewal after a 3-months-free lease? Renewals are priced from base rent, not net effective rent, so your monthly payment can jump in year two. We help you plan for that up front. ### How close is the Medical District? Next door. The Southwestern Medical District covers about 1,000 acres between I-35E and the Dallas North Tollway, including UT Southwestern, Parkland and Children's Medical Center Dallas, and employs more than 35,000 people. That's why these towers are popular with healthcare staff. ### What do Hi Line Drive high rises cost? Dallas Urby runs $1,900 to $3,950 and 1400 HiLine runs $1,998 to $3,925, before concessions. ### Is the Design District walkable? Partly. Hi Line Drive has galleries and restaurants, and the Trinity Strand Trail is nearby, but most errands are easier by car than in Uptown or Downtown. ### Which is better, Dallas Urby or 1400 HiLine? Dallas Urby is newer (2022), taller and rated 4.7 stars. 1400 HiLine was renovated in 2024 and rated 3.9 stars. The right one usually comes down to floor plan, floor and view. ### What is the levee on the western edge? It's part of the Trinity River levee system, which the city completed in 1931 and has operated since 1968. It protects about 10,000 acres of developed property along the river.
