    Sky-Rise Living

    5 reasons (for starters) you want to live at Dallas Sky-rise Bleu Ciel

    CultureMap Create
    Oct 31, 2014 | 10:57 am

    If you ever considered poolside service to be the summit of luxe, or thought an elevator ride from your front door to one of the world’s top spas was reserved for the toniest resorts, or believed that expansive outdoor terraces were just a dream, then we have two words for you: Bleu Ciel.

    Nestled within the 18-block live-work-explore district of Harwood, the land that will be developed into Bleu Ciel (French for “blue sky”) is about to begin taking shape. Next month, Harwood International — the developers of the famed Azure Condominiums, Rolex Building and Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar — will break ground on the 33-story splendor that is poised to be called the nation’s most elegant condominium development ever.

    Bleu Ciel will feature two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from 1,300 to more than 7,000 square feet. Here’s why Bleu Ciel should pique your very serious interest about Sky-rise living.

    Buyer’s Market
    If ever there was a time to purchase a brand-new condominium, it’s now. The condo market in Texas is on an upward trajectory, signaling a move to buy sooner rather than later — before the strengthening market turns up the heat on home prices. While homes at Bleu Ciel start in the mid $700,000s, those numbers will continue to escalate. Expect prices to go up next year, particularly as demand continues to increase.

    Flowing Floor Plans
    Each floor plan at Bleu Ciel will be spacious and well-executed, and it will adhere to a cadence and flow that project a warm, open, modern environment. The design is exactly what you’d expect from world-renowned architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, whose impressive resume includes the Hotel Oriental Mandarin, LVMH’s headquarters in Paris and Ferrari Sporting Management Center.

    The meticulous selection of interior finishes was inspired by international luxury resort design and high-caliber architecture from around the world. With color schemes ranging from Dawn to Dusk to Midnight, Bleu Ciel has many options to curate the perfect interiors for your home.

    Extraordinary Amenities
    Bleu Ciel will feature a world-class spa, innovative fitness center, two junior Olympic-sized pools, private garages, valet and concierge services, private wine tasting room, social room with full-service kitchen and cinema, private dog park, landscaped gardens, and more.

    Another reason that Bleu Ciel is so visionary is the fact that this one magnificent building will provide access to some of our most coveted everyday necessities. The first floor of the Sky-rise will feature a gourmet grocery market offering resident delivery, juice bar, bike shop and additional dining options. And its very location at the northern tip of Harwood puts the property just outside Katy Trail and within a 10-minute walk to more than 100 restaurants, retail and cultural venues.

    Your Point of View
    The views: stunning, romantic and panoramic. With floor-to-ceiling windows and grand, sweeping terraces, residents will enjoy 360-degree views of downtown Dallas, Park Cities and the Calatrava Bridge. Entertaining reaches its peak with guests dazzled by the sights and lavish indoor and outdoor spaces.

    Fine Finishes
    With luxury condominium design, every detail matters, from the powder room countertops to the wood flooring. Bleu Ciel’s interior designers and developers have planned every square inch with meticulous precision and selection of the finest finishes and appliance brands, such as Miele.

    ---

    Bleu Ciel is poised to redefine luxury Sky-rise living. Discover all that Bleu Ciel has to offer with a visit to the sales center at 3008 N. Harwood St. or by calling 214-965-1099. Visit us online at Bleucielliving.com and Facebook.

    flock to flower mound

    Dallas-Fort Worth suburb blooms as No. 1 best place to live in U.S.

    One Dallas-area city took the top slot on a new list of "the 100 Best Places to Live in 2025." The list — from relocation marketing platform Livability.com — put Flower Mound at No. 1 for its appealing size and affordability.

    The list was restricted to small and mid-size cities with populations between 75,000-500,000 residents. And it also considered only cities with a median home value of $500,000 or less.

    They considered factors such as average rent and home prices relative to income to keep their list centered around affordability.

    And while Flower Mound did come in at No. 1, the site specifies that the list is not a numbered ranking but one where users are encouraged to create their own ranking based on personal priorities.

    Nonetheless, Flower Mound earned the highest score out of all the cities on the report, with a LivScore totaling 875 out of 1,000 possible points.

    Flower Mound is 28 miles northwest of Dallas, with a population of more than 77,000 residents and a median household income that's well into the six-figures, at $216,000. These affluent residents have median home values of $476,609, according to the report's findings.

    Across the eight main categories, the suburb ranked the highest for its health (88), economy (87), and safety (84). The report said Flower Mound has a "diverse and robust" economy, bolstered by more than 2,000 locally based businesses in tech, manufacturing, and other professional services.

    Livability's profile of Flower Mound praises its safe neighborhoods, school districts, recreational activities, and more.

    "Local residents (and their pets) have all kinds of fun ways to enjoy the great outdoors thanks to more than 1,000 acres of parkland," the profile says. "Heritage Park is a local favorite, with amenities galore — including a splash pad, playground, performance pavilion, 18-hole disc golf course and bronze statues of animals native to the area. On top of all that, there’s a boardwalk, a waterfall and a 5-acre dog park."

    Flo-Mo is a repeat award winner: In 2024, the city was found to be the 29th most livable small city in America in a separate study by SmartAsset.

    Seven other Texas cities were also included in the list of best places to live in the U.S.: Sugar Land (854 points), Round Rock (793 points), New Braunfels (758 points), Midland (712 points), College Station (711 points), Tyler (676 points), and Abilene (659 points).

    The top 10 cities that earned the most points on Livability's list are:

    • Flower Mound, Texas
    • Carmel, Indiana
    • Sugar Land, Texas
    • Naperville, Illinois
    • Roswell, Georgia
    • Overland Park, Kansas
    • Troy, Michigan
    • Columbia, Maryland
    • Olathe, Kansas
    • Round Rock, Texas
