Amazon appears linked to $57 million renovation at Dallas office tower

  • Amazon appears connected to the unidentified tenant behind Galleria North Tower I's planned renovation.
  • $57 million is the estimated cost, with the first phase covering approximately 223,000 square feet.
  • Renovations are scheduled from Jan. 1, 2027, through Aug. 13, 2027.

Amazon appears to be the unidentified tenant behind a planned $57 million renovation of Galleria North Tower I at 13737 Noel Road in Dallas. A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing names the project "DFW 22 Galleria North Tower I Phase 1" and identifies the tenant as "DFW 22." The owner's phone number is connected to Austin-based Devin Ward, while a person with the same name is listed on LinkedIn as a construction manager at Amazon. Amazon signed a five-year lease at nearby Two Galleria Tower in 2024, adding context to the speculation, though Amazon and WS Development did not immediately comment. The first renovation phase covers about 223,000 square feet of the 395,000-square-foot tower and is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2027, through Aug. 13, 2027. WS Development owns the property after acquiring it with a $63 million loan from Athene Annuity & Life Company. Leasing is handled by CBRE. The speculation has drawn attention from real estate watchers, including Coming Soon Texas, which said it was betting heavily on Amazon because "DFW 22" resembles the company's internal naming convention using local airport codes and sequential numbers. The development comes as financial firms and technology companies continue moving into the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Kidder Matthews said office vacancy was 23.5% at the end of the second quarter of 2026, down 40 basis points from 23.9% a year earlier.
