History Dart Interests was founded in 2011 as the U.S. real estate investment and development arm of Kenneth B. Dart. The firm initially operated in commercial and residential markets across multiple states before expanding its scope to large-scale, capital-intensive projects.
In the mid-2010s, the firm (operating at the time as Third Palm Capital) acquired the former Exxon Chemical office campus in Houston, Texas. The site was later rebranded as Republic Square.
In 2018, Dart Interests expanded into the local condominium market by completing VistaBlue Singer Island, a 19-story oceanfront condominium development in Riviera Beach, Florida.
In 2020, the firm completed a two-year renovation of Republic Square following damage from Hurricane Harvey. Post-renovation, new tenants included Samsung, Gate Energy, and Sparkhound.
Between 2021 and 2024, Dart Interests developed a hospitality property combining centrally owned vacation rental homes with an on-site hotel. The Evermore Orlando Resort, an 1,100 acre property near Walt Disney World opened in January 2024.
In 2022 and 2023, the firm expanded its North Texas presence and acquired the former Fort Worth Central Library property in downtown Fort Worth, which formed the basis for a planned mixed-use redevelopment near Sundance Square.
In 2025, Dart Interests completed the sale of a 1.5-million-square-foot industrial warehouse property in Corsicana, Texas.
Corporate structure Dart Interests operates as the U.S. real estate investment and development platform of the Dart family of companies. The company is affiliated through common ownership with Dart Enterprises (Grand Cayman) and Dart Container, though each entity operates independently. Dart Interests was previously known as Third Palm Capital.
