The property, called Tyler Station, is the vision of developer and Oak Cliff native Monte Anderson. He bought the former Dixie Wax Paper Company factory in 2016 hoping to revitalize the adjacent Elmwood neighborhood. Anderson saw potential in the industrial space and sought to convert a neighborhood eyesore into a gathering place. “I wanted to create a space where locals could work without traveling far from home,” Anderson said. The building is now home to a variety of small businesses including a bakery, a barbershop and a thrift store. Several commercial design firms make handcrafted furniture. Artists and entrepreneurs inhabit leased studios or the co-working offices of Wax Space. Flexible event spaces are rented for anything from weddings to workshops to photo shoots. Craft beer fans stop by the taproom of the Oak Cliff Brewing Co. for a drink or two. Tyler Station also hosts a variety of community events, including neighborhood association meetings and First Thursday, the development’s monthly open house. “We call this place a collaboration village,” said Tara Stargrove, Tyler Station’s property manager. “While your kids take a martial arts class, you can get a slice of cake, a haircut or a beer.” Anderson and his tenants tout DART access as one of Tyler Station’s major amenities, especially because parking is limited. “You can get to Tyler Station by train, bus, bike or walking,” Anderson said.
