Pickleball in a downtown Dallas building? You bet.

The Wellness Floor has been completed at Peridot Residences, a 291-unit luxury multifamily conversion occupying 14 floors in the Santander Tower in downtown Dallas, Pacific Elm Properties announced.

The Wellness floor is on the 33rd floor of the 50-story tower. It features amenities such as a Pilates studio, spa-like saunas, sports lounge and an indoor pickleball court – said to be the “first of its kind” in a luxury resort.

Dallas innovates first wrote about Santander office to residence conversion project in 2022.

“In developing Peridot, we knew that taking advantage of the existing office floor plate to introduce unparalleled amenities would serve as a key differentiator from other high-rise multifamily projects in the Dallas region,” said Jonas Woods, founder of Pacific Elm, in a statement . “Working with Mintwood, our development partner, we have developed an innovative strategy that focuses on the well-being of residents while finding a creative solution to the common challenges faced in office-to-residential conversion.”

Part of the tower’s adaptive reuse vision

The floor is part of the larger vision of adaptive reuse of the building, which has seen the transformation of former office spaces into luxury residences.

“Anchoring Peridot with distinct amenities proved to be the right approach to add value for residents,” Mintwood founder and principal Katy Slade said in a statement. “We saw this project as an opportunity to bring a dynamic, best-in-class living experience to downtown Dallas, and with this latest milestone, we are in line with that goal.”

The company said Peridot offers “unparalleled access” to city life and a diverse mix of retail, dining and entertainment.

In addition to the Wellness floor, Peridot includes a resort-inspired pool deck with poolside food and beverage service, a private outdoor fire and grill area, access to the Tower Club, a state-of-the-art fitness center, private offices which also rent storage units, a gaming lounge and more.

Peridot offers one and two bedroom units ranging in size from 600 to 1,500 square feet.
