On top of that: utilities. Utility bills depend on how much you use.

We take a special off only when it reaches this home on this lease, spread by the day the way most leasing offices do. A cost the building posts no amount for shows as not posted, never as $0. Electric and water are billed by use, so they sit outside this number. Full cost calculator

Too few available homes share a floor plan here today to read a floor premium.
What each side looks at, how much sun it gets and what it costs.
You look north across the downtown blocks toward Elm Street and Pacific Avenue, with towers close in on the lower floors and more sky above the neighbors' roofs higher up.
You look east along the Main Street district toward Akard Street and The Joule, through the downtown towers.
You look south across the block toward Commerce Street and the Manor House apartment tower.
You look west toward the Westin hotel next door and the West End beyond. Lower floors face the neighbor's walls.
From the property's floor plans, read October 30, 2026. North is up.
The hours direct sun can reach each side of the tower on a summer day and a winter day.
North: 3.5 hours of direct sun in July, none in January. East: 6.5 hours of direct sun in July, 3.5 in January. South: 5.5 hours of direct sun in July, 9.5 in January. West: 7.0 hours of direct sun in July, 5.0 in January.
Calculated from the sun's path over Dallas on July 15 and January 15 and the direction each wall faces. A taller neighbor can block part of it.
Only a few homes are listed today, so treat this as a snapshot, not a pattern.

The Drakestone is a landmark bank tower on Main Street turned into lofts. It has original concrete ceilings, a rooftop pool, and a concierge and valet at the door. Residents love the rooftop and the staff. What they don't love: parking in a public garage the building doesn't own, loud downtown nights and small rooms for the price. On October 31, 2026 the cheapest one bedroom was $1,863 for 908 square feet, about $2.05 a square foot. The Statler was $2.32 and The National $3.26 the same day.
Every written review we found on three sites.
“The roof top was absolutely beautiful and one of our most favorite amenities was the heated pool during late fall and winter.”
“be prepared for evenings with loud engine/motorcycle revving, thumping music from passing cars that shakes the building”
“There were multiple break-in’s as well because this is a public garage”

The building has no garage of its own. Residents rent spaces in a public garage, wrote about break ins and broken gates there in 2023 and 2026, and say there's no guest parking.
A January 2026 review reported a home without heat for at least five days. A February 2026 resident wrote that the elevators break often, and a 2025 resident who moved to the 4th floor wrote about roaches.
The street scores 66 out of 100 (higher is quieter), mostly from traffic. Main Street nights bring engine revving, loud car stereos and street noise, and a 2024 resident found it reached every side of the building.
FEMA puts this address outside its high risk flood area. Renters insurance doesn't cover floods, cars in the garage included.
1,083 reports in the last 12 months in this small area around the building. 319 were against a person. A typical area this size nearby has 52.

Game and event nights at the American Airlines Center. The arena's calendar lists 37 Mavericks home games, 32 Stars home games and 14 concerts and shows between November 2, 2026 and April 27, 2027, most starting between 6:30 and 8:30 PM and a few on weekend afternoons. On those nights Victory Park streets and garages fill up before the start, and traffic out of the area moves slowly after the final buzzer or encore. If you're touring or moving in on a weeknight, ask us to check the arena calendar first. The American Airlines Center is under a mile from this tower.

The property's cost calculator, read in October 2026, lists two required monthly fees: $20 for trash and $5 for pest control. Water and sewer are billed by use, with a water and sewer admin fee. To apply, it's $75 per applicant and a $200 admin fee, with a $500 refundable deposit. Parking is extra and paid separately.
In a public garage the building doesn't own. Residents wrote in 2023 and 2024 that a space cost about $130 to $135 a month per car and that there's no guest parking. They wrote about gate and card problems and break ins at the garage, too. A January 2026 reviewer described a broken gate and people hanging around on the top deck. Valet is at the front door.
It's downtown on Main Street, and some residents find it loud. One who moved out in 2024 named engine revving, car stereos that shake the building and shouting on the street. The windows didn't keep it out on any side, they said. Others say the building is quiet inside. Main Street is the loud side on a Friday night, so tour after dark and stand in the home with the windows shut before you decide.
Yes. The calculator lists a $300 one time fee, $20 a month and a $200 refundable deposit per pet. The property doesn't publish a pet limit or breed list, so we check your pet with the office before you apply. There's a turf dog run, and Main Street Garden Park's dog area is about a nine minute walk.
It opened in 1926 as the headquarters of Republic National Bank and was later named the Davis Building. After sitting empty for years it became 183 loft apartments in 2003, one of downtown's first office to apartment conversions. Tim Headington bought it in 2017 and renovated it with residents in place, adding the rooftop pool and greenhouse lounge. It's a Dallas Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.
Headington Companies owns it, and 2025 replies to reviews come from a Cushman & Wakefield property manager. Google reviews since the renovation are mostly 5 stars. ApartmentRatings, which has reviews from the old Davis Building lofts too, averages under 3.
