What's Currently Available at the 1999 McKinney Lofts

Just about every segment of the Dallas area real estate market is trending upward, from rentals and condos to sprawling single-family homes in many of DFW’s most desirable suburbs. In downtown Dallas specifically, things aren’t much different even despite inventory being somewhat limited.

When looking around at what’s currently available in the downtown area, the inventory over at the 1999 McKinney Lofts specifically grabbed our attention, and for good reason. Currently, two of the city’s coolest loft units for sale, at least in our opinion, happen to be located at 1999 McKinney, and three other units in the building are also up for rent, which of course are perfect for anybody not looking to buy right now but still want a sleek and stylish place to…

Sales at Luxury Ltd. Edition 2505 Condo Tower Now Underway

The Dallas area is growing at a faster pace than ever right now and as more jobs and people make their way to the thriving DFW region, the need for more condos has become increasingly evident. Like countless projects in the works out in the DFW suburbs, there’s also several major condo developments being planned for Dallas, starting with the super luxury Ltd. Edition 2505.

A Closer Look at Ltd. Edition 2505, Uptown's Newest Luxury Condo Tower

Many of us got our first look at the luxury new condo tower coming to 2505 Turtle Creek Boulevard all the way back in mid 2014. Being developed by Toronto-based Great Gulf Homes and dubbed Ltd. Edition 2505, it’s hard to argue against the appeal and desirability of this ultra luxurious new condo tower, and when you factor in Dallas’ need for new construction condos right now, there’s almost no doubt Ltd. Edition 2505 will be a huge success for both its developers and those who will be lucky enough to one day call it home.

So what can we expect from Ltd. Edition 2505? Well, although the building isn’t slated to begin construction until 2016, here’s a general idea of what it might entail:

$1 Billion Mercer Crossing Mixed-Use Development Soon Coming to Farmer's Branch

With the recent acquisition of a 360-acre tract of land, the $1 billion Mercer Crossing mixed-use development in Farmer’s Branch is now just one step closer to becoming a reality that would eventually bring more than 800 single-family homes and townhomes, 180,000 square feet of commercial space, 3,500 apartment residences, and a 48-acre office campus to the area.

The project, which is being developed by Mehrdad Moayedi, isn’t actually official yet, as it’s still going through zoning with the city before construction can begin. Moayedi is certainly no stranger to large-scale developments here in the DFW region with the redevelopment of The Stratler and the finish-out of the Stoneleigh Residences condominium tower both in his portfolio.

Brownstones Designed to Impress at The Garden at Southlake Town Square

Although many new construction developments and housing communities try to aim for providing eventual residents with that charming residential feel that almost feels like something out of a fairytale, reaching that almost story-book-like status really isn’t a realistic expectation in many instances. But if you’ve been paying attention to the progress being made over at The Garden District at Southlake Town Square, you’ll probably agree that developers are truly in the process of building something special that won't go overlooked by many in the maket for a new home.

WalletHub® Mentions Several DFW Towns in Annual Best & Worst Cities In America Rankings

With development booming and job opportunities soaring, the Dallas real estate market has been red hot in 2015. But as the good economic times continue to roll, not everybody craves the bright lights of a big city, which is where many of the small towns surrounding DFW come into play for many of today’s active home buyers.
