Property owners in the far North Dallas corridor along Preston Road will be thrilled to learn that Woodhouse has closed on the purchase of the T Bar M Racquet Club off Preston Road and Dilbeck Lane, just north of the Preston and LBJ Intersection, and across from the still-in-progress Midtown development.
Woodhouse is co-owner of the exclusive private social club Park House Dallas located in Highland Park Village. Private clubs don’t release membership details, but the wait list for Park House membership is currently at 6,000.
T Bar M is a world-renowned tennis club. It opened its doors in 1972 and quickly became one of the most prestigious in Texas. (Full disclosure: I used to play tennis and enjoyed many a game at T Bar M.)
The 13-acre property currently features 28 tennis courts, both hard and clay surfaces, as well as a large swimming pool, a pilates room, a bar and lounge, a basketball court, a running track, a weight room, and a massage room. There are more than 25 professionals on staff and my tennis-loving friends tell me T Bar M is THE place to teach children and train for professional tennis.
T Bar M also hosts numerous events including USTA Pro Circuit events like the annual Challenger Dallas.
Woodhouse closed on the property June 1 and is drafting plans for a complete renovation, commissioning the prestigious Austin-based architectural firm Lake|Flato and Hocker for landscape architecture and design.
Given the success Woodhouse has had with Park House at Highland Park Village, this could be an enormous boost to a once dynamic corridor that is weary with now a decade of tearing down and rebuilding Valley View Mall.
“We are honored and excited to steward T Bar M into the future,” says Brady Wood, founder of Woodhouse. “T Bar M has served as a legacy in the community since the 1970s and we are excited to thoughtfully revitalize the property and improve our members’ overall experience.”
OMG! What a great addition to North Dallas. That area has needed revitalization for years. So glad to see this coming.
I can’t wait to see what Woodhouse does do enhance the already great TbarM!
I used to be a member there and loved it… This may make me want to get back in the “swing“ of things. I’m so happy they are intending to keep it as a tennis club and improve upon it rather than re-develop it.
