Same 2 bedroom floor plan, one floor higher: about $16 more a month. Floor 5 to floor 17 adds up to about $192.
9 available homes from floor 5 to 17, each against the middle of its own floor plan, from −$225 to +$190.
Based on 9 available homes in 2 floor plans, each compared only with homes of its own plan, so size never passes for height. Asking rents as of November 4, 2026.
Is it right for you?
The Case Building has loft style homes in the middle of Deep Ellum: exposed brick, 10 foot ceilings and a patio on every home. There's a residents' bar in the lobby. On October 31, 2026, studios started at $1,156, the second cheapest studio of the 75 towers we track. Residents praise the staff and the location. The long running complaints are slow or broken elevators, weekend and ambulance noise, and car break ins in and around the garage, and a June 2026 resident says the elevators still aren't fixed.
A good fit if
- You want Deep Ellum on foot: Main Street Market is a minute away and Terry Black's two
- You want loft character: exposed brick, 10 foot ceilings, apron sinks and a private patio in every home
- You'd use a bar, gym and dog park in the building: a lobby cocktail bar, a two story gym and a private dog park
Maybe not if
- You need quiet nights: residents write about weekend crowds, street racing and ambulances headed to Baylor
- You need fast elevators: waits and outages come up from 2023 to 2026
- You want free EV charging: residents complained about charging prices in 2023 and 2024

Questions people ask about The Case Building
Who owns and manages The Case Building?
Westdale developed it with StreetLights Residential and has managed it since it opened in December 2017. WDG Architecture designed the 17 floor tower, which has 337 homes wrapped around a 462 car garage. We found no sale or change in management.
What fees come on top of rent?
The fee table the community gives Apartments.com, read October 30, 2026, lists trash at $25 and pest control at $3 a month. Renters insurance with $100,000 of liability coverage is required, or you're put on the building's policy for a monthly charge. Applying costs $85 per applicant plus a $100 admin fee, and the deposit varies by home.
How does parking work?
Everyone parks in the gated garage inside the building. Spaces are first come, first served, and a reserved space costs $75 a month. Visitors park on the first level and register online. Register your own car on the permit site the day you move in. Reviews from 2022 and 2024 mention residents' cars towed when they hadn't.
Are the elevators a problem?
They come up often. In 2023 residents wrote about 10 to 15 minute waits with only one of three elevators working. A June 2026 resident says outages still haven't been fixed for good. Ask us and we'll check how they're running before you tour.
Is it loud?
It's Deep Ellum, so weekends are busy. Residents mention bar crowds, street racing and ambulances on the way to Baylor. One resident said the building keeps out enough sound that street noise is hard to hear. If noise worries you, ask for a higher floor on the side away from Main Street, and tour on a Friday or Saturday night so you hear the block at its loudest.
Does The Case Building allow pets?
Yes, up to two pets with breed restrictions. The site lists a $375 pet fee and a $150 pet deposit per pet, plus $25 a month pet rent. There's a private dog park and a dog wash in the building.
