    Developers take modern achitecture to new heights in Turtle Creek

    Diana Oates

    Residential tower building power player Great Gulf has set its eyes on Turtle Creek for its next high-rise condo project. The 20-story, 100-unit residential project has been in the works for years but the company says it's almost time to put the hammer to the nail.

    Ltd Edition No. 2505 is set to go up on the corner of Turtle Creek Boulevard and Fairmount, and is the first high-rise project in Texas for the company. They've hired internationally recognized architect Siamak Hariri with the task of designing his ultimate vision for urban living in Dallas. Features include 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, choice of premium luxury finishes, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, laundry and powder rooms and more.

    "We are trying to be the culmination of modern living and estate residences in the sky," said Christopher Wein, the Toronto-based developer’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. "By embracing great architecture and contemporary elements in a Texas way, we will benefit the Dallas skyline and the people living in our building will get a true sense of modern luxury."

    It also means that some units have glass on all sides of their units and that the extra deep terraces can wrap around the space in a way that is unprecedented in Dallas.

    The design behind Ltd Edition No. 2505 is inspired by the natural phenomenon known as tropism, which sees plants twist and turn to gain maximum exposure to available light. This unique design benefits buyers by taking advantage of downtown views to the south and west. It differentiates itself from other Dallas high-rises by running two elevators along the back of the building — the common practice being to run an elevator core up the middle.

    This particular placement of the elevators along the back allows for guests to share access to their unit with no more than three other owners. This dedicates more space to the areas where guests actually live. It also means that some units have glass on all sides of their units and that the extra deep terraces can wrap around the space in a way that is unprecedented in Dallas.

    Speaking of the terraces, these are seriously impressive. No tiny patios that hardly have enough space to store your bike and maybe a chair or two. These terraces are big enough for an outdoor kitchen with connections for gas, water and electricity.

    "Buyers have the luxury of being able to entertain, cook and garden outside," Wein said. "In a typical condominium high-rise you can't really do those things because you don't have the balcony space to allow for that."

    Just as you might expect, resident amenities go above and beyond. Residents can utilize the executive concierge to assist them at all times, however, Ltd Edition No. 2505 takes it a step further by offering a lifestyle director that curates your leisure activity schedule. Other notable resident perks include a fitness studio, private massage room, lap and reflecting pool with hot tub and both valet and private car services. The grounds, which include contemplative gardens and private dog walking area, are designed by famed landscape architect Janet Rosenberg.

    Interested buyers can choose from one or two-bedroom units, both of which come with an added den option. Prices start at $1.2 million, and while the sales program is set to start this September, ground breaking isn't slated to begin until 2016. The exact timeline for moving into Ltd Edition No. 2505 is still a little hazy, but Wein ensures us that this project is worth the wait.

    "We have really spent a lot of time on design to make sure that we really understood what people in Texas are looking for and what the Dallas market place is keen on," Wein said. "All of this research is what is going to help us to create a building that is perfect luxury living for the Dallas marketplace."

    The grounds are landscaped by internationally recognized landscape architect Janet Rosenberg and feature a garden walk, privacy hedging and mature trees.

    Dallas cuts slack on senior homeowners with new property tax exemption

    Dallas seniors who own a home got cut a break: On June 11, the Dallas City Council approved additional property tax relief for senior and disabled homeowners by increasing the city’s property tax exemption for residents who are 65 or older or disabled.

    The exemption amount will increase from $153,400 to $175,000, effective for the 2025 tax year.

    “We are proud to support our older and disabled residents with this increase," says Dallas City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert. “This exemption helps Dallas homeowners stay in their homes as they age.”

    The exemption applies to homeowner’s primary residence (homestead) and reduces the taxable value of the home by $175,000 for the City of Dallas portion of their tax bill.

    If the market value of a home is $218,750 or less, then eligible homeowners will pay no city of Dallas property taxes, as a result of the $175,000 65-or-older or disabled exemption and the 20 percent homestead exemption.

    Cutting back on property taxes for seniors has become a growing trend, with states and cities such as New Jersey and Atlanta taking steps in 2025 to provide relief to seniors in response to rising property values raising property taxes rates — most difficult for older homeowners on fixed incomes.

    Eligibility Requirements
    Under Texas law, homeowners may qualify for the Over-65 or Disabled Person Exemption if they meet the following qualifications. (You do not need to reapply if you already have this exemption.)

    • Must own and occupy the home as a principal residence (homestead)
    • Must be age 65 or older or certified as disabled under Social Security guidelines

    Only one of the exemptions (Over-65 or Disabled) may be claimed per homeowner per residence.

    If a resident is a surviving spouse of someone who received the Over-65 exemption, they can continue the exemption if they were 55 years old at the time of their spouse’s death.

    The City of Dallas spans several counties. To get the exemption, residents must apply through the appraisal district for the county in which their property is located, as follows:

    • Dallas County – dallascad.org
    • Collin County – collincad.org
    • Denton County – dentoncad.com
