The building § 01
M Central Residences (The Highland) is a named condominium tower in Mockingbird / SMU, Dallas. The building dates to 2005, the year built on the Dallas Central Appraisal District 2026 certified roll. It comprises 55 residences. The condo tower connected to The Highland Dallas hotel (originally Hotel Palomar) — owners get 24-hour room service, valet, and spa access an elevator ride away, a service package no other Mockingbird-corridor building offers. Sometimes listed as 'Highlands Residences' or 'Residences at Palomar' — all the same complex.

Compiled from the Dallas Central Appraisal District certified appraisal roll (certified July 2026), aggregating every residential unit account at this address. Account counts reflect current tax parcels - owner combinations over the years mean historic buildings often show fewer accounts than originally marketed units. Sales tempo counts deed-transfer dates on unit accounts - Texas is a non-disclosure state, so prices aren't public, but turnover is. Assessed values are the county's tax appraisals, which typically trail market sale prices. Homestead percentage counts accounts with an active homestead exemption - a useful public-record proxy for owner occupancy that lenders may consider. The mailing-address figure is a rougher approximation. See the county rankings and the open dataset.
