Ambassador Hotel Transformation to Apartments Underway
The redevelopment of the former Ambassador Hotel site into an upscale apartment community just southeast of downtown Dallas is advancing.
OHT Partners has begun site work for a 299-unit luxury apartment community on approximately 2.5 acres at 1300 S. Ervay St. The first units could open as early as the third quarter of 2026, while the project is slated to be complete in 2027.
OHT Partners and Dallas-based architect firm Corgan use many of the architectural details that harken back to the original hotel, which was built in 1904.
Ambassador will offer a mix of units, ranging from 502 square foot studios to 2-bedroom homes with 1,539 square feet. An expansive amenity level will rest in the center of the structure, featuring a pool that overlooks downtown and a fitness center.
Ambassador marks the fourth Qualified Opportunity Zone investment for OHT Partners. OHT Partners Construction, will serve as the general contractor. BluePrint Local facilitated the funding for the project.
