History

The station, originally named Carpenter Ranch, was one of eight stations included in the original Northwest Corridor proposal, where it was expected serve nearby hotels and offices and a potential transit-oriented development project. [3] The station was set to open in December 2012 (alongside the North Lake College and Belt Line stations) and a sculptor, Marty Ray, was hired to create decorative columns and windscreens. [4] However, in April 2010, DART opted to defer the station due to a lack of surrounding development.

In 2017, telecom company Verizon Communications announced plans for Hidden Ridge, a $1 billion mixed-use development project in the land surrounding its Las Colinas office. Carpenter Ranch station, located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of Verizon's office, was included in plans for the project. [5] [6] In 2019, the station was renamed to Hidden Ridge to further tie in to the project. [7]

Construction began in mid-2020, [8] with Marty Ray returning to complete the station artwork. [4] The station opened on April 12, 2021. [2] It was the third infill station to be built on the DART system, the first two being Cityplace/Uptown and Lake Highlands.
