Tim Headington’s ambitious vision for the future of downtown Dallas is evident through a record of long-term investments, historic preservation and intentional placemaking. Headington Companies has devoted 15-plus years and well over half-a-billion dollars into shaping downtown from an atrophied and vacant grid of urban blocks into one of the city’s most thriving cultural, retail and business districts. 

Headington’s transformative projects include Main Street District, which involved nearly a decade long preservation and expansion of the long-neglected and vacant Neo-Gothic Dallas National Bank Building, resulting in luxury boutique hotel, The Joule. Additional development efforts includes Forty Five Ten, Traffic LA, The Eye, CBD Provisions, Sassetta (coming soon), The Spa at The Joule, Weekend Coffee, Taschen, Hotel Shop, Midnight Rambler, ground-floor Commissary with mixed-used tenanting above, and the renovated residential property, The Drakestone. 

On the horizon for Headington Companies is a 10+-acre development site in downtown’s most densely traveled corridor of Ross Avenue and Field Street.

Beyond real estate, Headington is a lifetime fan and passionate supporter of the arts, an operator of two film companies that have produced several Academy Award-winning movies, and a co-founder of a nonprofit whose mission is to care for first-responders and caregivers worldwide who have experienced significant emotional trauma.

Headington’s efforts have been recognized with numerous awards from Dallas AIA, Preservation Dallas and Downtown Dallas Inc. and Travel & Leisure and Bon Appetit magazine, to name a few. In 2019, he received D CEO’s Corporate Citizenship Award, Partner of the Year.
