SoCo Urban Lofts

In 1926, the Santa Fe Railway constructed a series of four buildings that were connected by underground railroad tunnels built to centralize the railroad's transfer and warehouse operations. While allowing the transfer operations to remain in the heart of the city, the underground tunnels removed the surface tracks that plagued downtown traffic.  This building was one of the warehouses and was located across Jackson Street from the main office building.  It served as the complex's Garment Center.  The University Club was located in the penthouse and it was used by the Dallas elite to wine and dine. After the University Club closed, WFAA Radio used the penthouse for their studios. Today, the old sign on top of the building has been restored.  The warehouse matches the Santa Fe Building with buff brick and cast stone trim. The warehouse was one of the first buildings in downtown Dallas to be renovated into loft apartments and in 2004, the building became condominiums.
