How the Harwood District is redefining work and play in Uptown - CultureMap Dallas
Many diners at Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar admire the Virgin de Guadalupe monument standing outside, a tile-and-brick structure that murmurs the history of the area. It was located in the heart of Little Mexico, in what is now the Harwood District of Uptown, the signature development of Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, founder and CEO of Harwood International. The second level houses the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum: The Samurai Collection, an assemblage of samurai armor and related objects that is one of the largest and most complete in the world. This is just a tiny part of the Harwood empire, which spans the globe and has offices and developments in select parts of Dallas, Beverly Hills, Sunnyvale's Gold Coast, Geneva, London's West End, Paris and Zurich's Golden Triangle. Walk around the Harwood District today and you'll find more than two million square feet of premier-class office, residential and retail space in a park-like setting, with lush gardens and art-filled lobbies. Electric Harwood Gem cars zip around the district, offering free rides seven days a week to those who live or work in the area and want to get from one spot to. Source: dallas.culturemap.com
