The Centrum’s Secret 3-Story Penthouse Boasts Luxe Elevation in Oak Lawn
Share News:
Finding a high-rise with actual personality in Dallas is harder than it looks. Most pair impressive square footage with predictable layouts, leaning on standard city views to do the heavy lifting. Penthouse 1703 at 3111 Welborn St. skips that script entirely.
Hidden in plain sight atop Oak Lawn’s iconic Centrum building, this fully remodeled three-level residence feels less like a condo and more like a private townhome suspended in the clouds, where your only next-door neighbors have wings. Herringbone white oak floors and a custom floating staircase anchor the interior, while massive ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass keep the overall layout bright and grounded.
Behind this remarkable residence is the vision of Leo Amaya, vice president of Crescent Estates, who worked alongside acclaimed interior designer Tanya Taylor of Tanya Taylor Studio to create a home that is both sophisticated and welcoming. And, as you can see, they are still as committed to timeless design and exceptional quality as ever.
“Luxury isn’t just about beautiful finishes — it’s about how a home makes you feel,” listing agent Ana Martin said.
That shift in feeling happens right at the start.
“It’s one of those homes that stops you in your tracks the moment your private in-residence elevator opens,” Martin said. “To the northwest, you can watch planes arriving and departing from Dallas Love Field, while to the south, the downtown skyline stretches across the horizon. The view is never the same twice.”
Rather than settling for a standard balcony, the layout weaves five separate open-air terraces across all three floors.
“It’s rare to find a penthouse with this much outdoor living space,” Martin said. “It completely changes how you experience the home.”
The third level operates as a secluded primary suite, featuring its own terrace and a skyline-facing hot tub designed for quiet late-night decompression.
Despite the obvious architectural flair, the home is surprisingly practical for daily life. Generous room proportions leave plenty of breathing space, all while backed by 24/7 concierge, valet, and easy access to Turtle Creek.
“It’s the combination of the private elevator, dramatic architecture, five terraces, and panoramic views,” Martin said. “It’s one of those properties people walk away from and continue talking about long after the tour is over.”
For buyers seeking substantial square footage, quiet privacy, and an unbeatable location without the sterile high-rise feel, PH 1703 is well worth a walk-through this weekend. Martin will be holding an open house tomorrow, August 9, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information or to schedule a private tour, reach out to her at 818-636-6550 | [email protected].
The penthouse is also available for lease at $25,000 per month, FYI.
