Mercantile Dallas gives people a chance to live in a Dallas landmark; the Mercantile National Bank establishment or the Merc. Situated at 1700 Main Street the Merc is known for its Art Deco Style and distinctive clock tower and lighted spire. In terms of history, the Merc had been the only skyscraper completed in the United States during World War Two and the tallest structure west of the Mississippi when it opened in 1942. The Merc has been transformed into an apartment building by Forest City Enterprises

Mercantile Dallas contains 225 apartments that feature such amenities as kitchens with marble countertops, Viking Appliances and Bosch washers and dryers. Some of the units feature balconies with breathtaking views of Big D. One bedroom and two bedroom apartments and penthouses are available at the Mercantile. Penthouse dwellers will be following in the footsteps of Mercantile Bank founder and owner Robert L. Thornton who lived in a penthouse on the higher levels of the building in the 1940s.

The Merc offers downtown urban living for those who want sophistication and luxury. It’s in walking distance of virtually everything in Downtown Dallas including shops, restaurants, museums and night life. The brand new Main Street Garden Park is right across St. Paul Street for those who need air and sun. If you don’t want to go out, the building is part of a complex that features a pool, a gym and retail shops as well as the brand new Element luxury apartment building. The Element now features Jean Michel’s a French restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
