A large, high-profile property in West Dallas has been snapped up by a local builder with a track record of constructing urban housing.
EcoView Homes recently bought the almost 3-acre tract on Sylvan Avenue near Singleton, close to the popular Trinity Groves district west of downtown. The property is now occupied by a hodgepodge of businesses, including a vehicle repair facility.
"EcoView Homes has spent the past few years acquiring contiguous parcels of property with the focus of building a meaningful mixed use project that will enhance the livability and lifestyle for the Trinity Groves," said EcoView's Harshal Broker.
The development site, between Singleton and Fort Worth Avenue, is in an area that's rapidly redeveloping with new apartment and home construction.
"I have been helping them assemble several properties on this intersection for the past several years," said Scott Lake of Davidson & Bogel Real Estate LLC, who brokered the sale.
EcoView has built several successful high-density home projects in East Dallas with prices starting near $400,000 a unit. The company promotes the energy efficiency and environmental features of its homes.
West Dallas is seeing a flurry of residential construction, with projects by builders including David Weekley Homes, Megatel Homes and Centre Living Homes.
The location near downtown and north Oak Cliff has attracted thousands of renters to new apartments in that area.
