We take charming old buildings and carefully and thoughtfully bring them back to life. Commercial and residential spaces—all in the Bishop Arts area—are our forte.
Good Space was founded in 1995 by David W. Spence, an attorney who had fallen in love with the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. After ten years in public service, Spence’s first impulse was to create a community-development nonprofit, but on the advice of urban redeveloper Bennett Miller, Spence organized Good Space as a for-profit venture to rejuvenate charming but distressed buildings. In his first project, a condemned 16-unit apartment house built in 1928, Spence was mentored by business partner and architect Trey Bartosh. Their success with Bishop Terrace convinced Spence to focus exclusively on his adopted neighborhood, the Bishop Arts District.
