Dallas Chop House Lands Prime Spot in Downtown

DALLAS-Comerica Bank Tower's owner will add onto the Philip Johnson design to create room for a new signature concept by a leading restaurateur. A 10-year lease secures the space.

DALLAS-Metropolitan Real Estate Investors LLC will expand its 1.5-million-sf Comerica Bank Tower, adding a 1,300-sf glass-enclosed annex to a long-dark restaurant space to park a new steakhouse in the CBD. Leading restaurateur Michael Hogue will debut Dallas Chop House in summer 2009.

The all-in construction cost is still being fine-tuned, but more than $2 million will go into the interior finish-out alone for the 126-seat restaurant, according to Hogue, who signed a 10-year lease for the restaurant spot and patio at 1717 Main St. He says construction is slated to begin by November. “We are going to build a brand that will be part of Downtown Dallas and an institution,” says the owner of Hogue Enterprise Co.

The plan to add a high-end restaurant to the 60-story landmark’s roster has been in the making seven of the eight years that its gatekeeper under two owners has been in charge of leasing. The deal will light a 5,750-sf restaurant space for the first time in one decade.
