Trinity Groves is a multiphase redevelopment effort of a former warehouse and light-industrial site that began with a 10.3-acre restaurant/specialty food incubator and destination. The project is located along the Trinity River, across from downtown Dallas, at the base of the new and iconic Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in West Dallas.
The core incubator area of Trinity Groves currently includes 14 restaurants, two dessert shops, a culinary education and events center, and a brewery, all located in four buildings that were formerly used primarily as a trucking facility. Following on the success of the restaurant incubator concept, the developers have embarked on a plan and program to develop 90 adjacent acres, assembled over the past 11 years, with new apartment, condominium, hotel, and office space, as well as additional restaurant and retail space.
