The Purse Building has worn many identities over the past century, and its next chapter may be its most exciting yet. Built around 1930 as a warehouse for the Purse Company, the building later became home to a printing and stationery firm, artist lofts, and eventually Lola Savannah’s coffee roasting facility. When Scarlet Capital acquired the property in 2021, the interiors still held signs of its past, including burlap sacks and coffee grounds left behind from its former life.

Drive 15 miles north of Dallas and enter the tiny urban enclave of Addison. Its relatively small population swells over six times daily due to the concentration of corporate offices and businesses within its 4.4 square miles.

AMLI Treehouse promises to be one of the most significant community additions in recent years.
The recent Collective 54 Reunion at the beautiful Hotel Drover in Fort Worth's Stockyards was a powerful reminder of what can happen when pro-serv firm founders come together to share, learn, and grow.
