Headington Companies is a privately held, Dallas-based company with interests in a wide spectrum of industries, including private equity, film production, office development, hospitality, restaurant and retail. Headington Companies’ foray into Main Street in the early 2000s was rooted in hospitality through the development of The Joule Hotel, a restored 1920s Neo-gothic bank building. Today, the Company’s holdings within the district are comprised of upwards of 20 independent real estate acquisitions. Its interest in downtown Dallas continues to expand with new projects both within and beyond the Main Street District as a consequence of it being such a ripe environment for successful investment, the setting of which represents the only true urban environment in the region.
