30 Stories for 30 Years: Where Growth Meets Vision in Uptown and Legacy West

In recent years, few areas in Dallas-Fort Worth have transformed as dramatically as Uptown and Legacy West. What were once emerging districts have become two of the most vibrant and desirable destinations for companies and their employees. Gaedeke recognized this potential early on, committing to properties that would both serve tenants’ needs and help shape the identity of these communities.

In Uptown, 17SEVENTEEN and One McKinney have become premier office addresses, offering tenants much more than workspace. 17SEVENTEEN sits directly adjacent to Klyde Warren Park, creating a natural connection between the office and one of Dallas’s most beloved green spaces. Tenants are within walking distance of the Dallas Arts District, the largest urban arts district in the nation, as well as Victory Park, home to world-class dining, entertainment, and the American Airlines Center. One McKinney places tenants right in the heart of Uptown’s walkable streets, surrounded by restaurants, residences, and retail. These properties not only provide Class A office space but also immerse tenants in the lifestyle that has made Uptown one of the most competitive and desirable submarkets in Texas.

At Legacy West, Gaedeke’s investment in One Legacy West positioned the company at the heart of Plano’s rise as a corporate hub. The building is next door to FedEx Office headquarters and Toyota North American headquarters, anchoring it among some of the region’s most significant corporate relocations. The property is surrounded by top-tier retail, dining, and residential options that make Legacy West a true live-work-play destination. By anticipating the northward shift of corporate growth, Gaedeke created a home for companies looking to thrive in a mixed-use environment that continues to attract global attention.

For 30 years, Gaedeke has focused on more than buildings. The company has aligned vision with opportunity, investing in places that allow businesses to grow and people to thrive. Uptown and Legacy West stand as clear examples of how Gaedeke’s foresight and long-term commitment have shaped the Dallas-Fort Worth office market while delivering lasting value to tenants and communities alike.
