RICHARDSON, TX— CityLine , the new 186-acre mixed-use project, was chosen by Good Union Urban BBQ for its first location. The transit-oriented development features a mix of office buildings, apartments, restaurants, entertainment options and open space, with easy access to two major highways and the DART light rail system. Jessica Robertson , director of marketing, CityLine, tells GlobeSt.com: “Good Union Urban BBQ is a brand new restaurant concept that we are lucky enough to have right here at CityLine. They have been packed since their doors opened and it is going to be a great fit. We especially love the nod to the region with their local craft beer lineup and Texas distilled liquors.” Located on the street level of One CityLine at 1150 State St., Good Union Urban BBQ has a hybrid service model, where guests place orders at a counter at their convenience. Food will be hand delivered to tables, with servers available to accommodate any other needs. Patio seating faces the central plaza where guests can enjoy occasional live music and events planned by CityLine. The full-service bar offers 10 Texan craft beers on tap and premium cocktails, many made with Texas distilled liquors. Recently opened dining options at CityLine include Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip, Top Pot Doughnuts & Coffee, Red Mango, Starbucks and Tom+Chee . In addition, Whole Foods Market, Bite City Grill, Coal Vines, Edoko Sushi and Robata, Fernando’s, Jasper’s and Tricky Fish are scheduled to open later this year. CityLine’s current development phase includes more than 30 dining options, an Aloft hotel, seven office buildings home to State Farm and Raytheon , and a wellness office building anchored by Texas Health Resources and Children’s Medical Center . At full build-out, CityLine will contain 6 million square feet of office space, 3,925 multi-family residential units, more than 50 dining and service retail options, two hotels, and two parks with access to regional hike and bike trails. Approximately 30,000 people are expected to live and work at CityLine. The restaurant serves Texas barbecue favorites like USDA Prime brisket, pork, sausage, ham, turkey and ribs, plus eight specialty tacos using the meats from the pit. Classic side items include smoked beans, cole slaw and potato salad. All food is made fresh daily and served on a first-come, first-serve basis to ensure the highest quality.
