Check Henley affordable housing purchase deadline now

Context: The Henley was pulled for an individual vote and held under advisement on February 11, 2026, while the matching Dallas Public Facility Corporation deal advanced the same night.

Recommended: Locate the purchase and sale agreement for The Henley and confirm whether its closing or extension deadline falls before the next council session — the city's hold does not pause a fixed contractual deadline, so missing that date could force the deal to lapse or trigger a renegotiated term sheet.

Compare Henley terms to approved Dallas housing deal

Context: Both PFC deals were pulled for individual votes on the same night out of a combined $9.42 million in forgone General Fund tax revenue, but only one advanced.

Recommended: Pull the staff reports for both Dallas Public Facility Corporation acquisitions pulled for individual votes on February 11 and line up their tax-revenue forfeiture, unit mix, and 75-year lease terms — the structural gap between the deal that passed and The Henley, which was held, is what you need to close before this returns to council.

Compare Henley housing vote to Dallas deal that passed

Context: Both deals shared a 75-year lease structure and a combined $9.42 million in forgone tax revenue, yet only The Henley was held under advisement on February 11, 2026.

Recommended: Request the February 11 meeting video and staff reports for both Dallas Public Facility Corporation acquisitions pulled for individual votes, then identify which council member pulled The Henley and what objection they stated versus the objection, if any, raised on the deal that passed the same night.

Meet council member who blocked Henley housing deal

Context: The Henley was pulled for an individual vote and held under advisement on February 11, 2026, while the matching Dallas Public Facility Corporation deal advanced the same night.

Recommended: Watch the February 11 meeting video to identify which council member pulled The Henley for an individual vote and what concern they raised on the record, then request a meeting before staff reduces that objection to a formal written recommendation.
