Home improvement retailer TreeHouse (Austin, Texas) will open its second location, a flagship in Dallas.

The 35,000-square-foot store will be among the first "energy positive" big box stores, according to a company press release, by generating more power than it consumes via solar panels and energy stored in a Tesla Powerpack battery.

“This building is an unbelievably important milestone for both the retail and architectural communities to show in grand fashion that buildings can be beautiful and human-centered in their design and also be positive contributors to people, communities, and nature,” says Jason Ballard, TreeHouse ceo and co-founder. “This building sets a completely new standard for ecological and human health and is an embodiment of what our company hopes to accomplish for homes as well.”
