DFW.com is reporting that the Museum Place development has announced two new upcoming tenants of the mixed-use development: The Social House and Cafe San Miguel.
Social House will take 5,000 square feet south of West Seventh St. at the newly christened Van Cliburn Way, formerly Arch Adams. A new boutique hotel is planned for this block, too. Look for patrons to drink imported beer and nosh on fish and chips and filet mignon. Café San Miguel, one of my favorite places to eat in Big D, will occupy a 2,200-square-foot space facing Social House on Museum Place’s Main Plaza. You’ll find some of the best Mexico City-style tacos anywhere, as well as dishes like quail in mole crafted from pumpkin seeds and fruit, as well as lovely, inventive margaritas.
From the descriptions, these sound like tenants for buildings that do not yet exist. The intersection of 7th & Van Cliburn Way is mostly an assortment of vacant lots, awaiting two new mixed-use apartment/retail buildings and a hotel building. The announcement of Social House and Cafe San Miguel might indicate that the next phases of the development will be breaking ground in the not-too-distant future.
