LIV Development is looking to spend $65.5-million on a multifamily project on the site of the former Our Lady of Victory Catholic School, which was shuttered in 2021. Livano Victory Forest is the working name of the 488,000-square-foot project that will include 357 apartments. The design firm for the project is Dallas-based PRDG.

Public filings show plans to break ground in August with a completion date expected by mid-2025. Not new to the area, LIV has built The McCoy and The Westhouse in Fort Worth.

LIV Development acquired the property from the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur, who have owned the property since 1910 when they opened the first school on the property. According to the Dallas Business Journal, OLV Elementary School began its history in 1953 when the present school building was constructed. According to a history of the school, it was Dallas’s first integrated school in the 1950’s.
