A new Uptown office and retail project has landed a high-profile local restaurant thats moving from the suburbs.

Crescent Real Estate Holdings said Thursday that Del Friscos Double Eagle Steak House will be the flagship restaurant in its McKinney & Olive project which is under construction just north of downtown Dallas.

Del Friscos will take about 13,000 square feet on the two lower floors of the high-rise project thats being built on McKinney Avenue.

The restaurant will overlook a 1-acre park planned along Olive Street.

The restaurant will have a two-story design with spacious patios, huge glass windows and a balcony overlooking the plaza, John Zogg, managing director for Crescent, said in a statement.

Del Friscos will close its 20-year-old location on Spring Valley Road in Far North Dallas after it opens in McKinney & Olive in 2016.

The move from North Dallas to Uptown for the Double Eagle is all about evolving the brand and showcasing more options and modern amenities while still sticking to the concepts rich heritage and tradition, said Del Friscos Restaurant Group CEO Mark S. Mednansky.

Jack Gosnell and Jack Breard of UCR Urban negotiated the lease with Kevin McIntosh of KMAC Group Inc.

Designed by award-winning Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, McKinney & Olive will have 480,000 square feet of office space and 50,000 square feet.
