Past BMH Projects


For the past 30 years Bennett Miller Homes (BMH) has acted as a pioneer working in areas of Dallas where others were afraid to invest. Beginning in the eighties, BMH renovated countless abandoned industrial buildings dating back to the turn of the century. Many of these projects have acted as catalysts for further redevelopment activity by others. One of the largest and most well known Bennett Miller renovations is Magnolia Station.


Magnolia Station, built in 1911, was originally a petroleum processing plant owned by Magnolia Petroleum. After falling into disrepair, the property was bought by the Bennett Miller Company in 1993 and was subsequently converted to lofts. It's hard to believe today, but at the time of purchase the property was located in the middle of an industrial wasteland. Shortly following the success of Magnolia Station, American Airlines Center and Victory Park came to be. We believe that without the initial investment in Magnolia Station, the area would not have become the success it is today. Now Magnolia station is at the foot of the Katy Trail, Dallas's premier bike path. It's also a few short steps from American Airlines Center and the many upscale establishments of Victory Center.
