Famed Parkland Likely to Find Better Use

This 50s-era Parkland building is well known in US history.

DALLAS—A piece of history is likely to find a higher and better use due to obsolesce, according to brokers involved in the marketing of the former Parkland Memorial Hospital. Indeed, the property carries an existing zoning designation of mixed-use district 3, which allows for substantial flexibility and the highest density classification outside of the Central Business District. This makes a redevelopment opportunity more likely than a reuse proposal.

Dallas County Hospital District dba Parkland Health & Hospital System has put its former campus on the market. It is comprised of five adjacent sites of approximately 1.2 million square feet totaling 38.3 acres at Harry Hines Boulevard and Medical District Drive, one block east of Stemmons Freeway/Interstate 35E.
