Dallas real estate mogul lists his Beverly Drive home with big extra perk for $16 million

Dallas residential real estate honcho Rogers Healy has vast experience buying and selling homes. Now, he’s put his own home on the market for $8 million — with an intriguing twist that doubles the asking price.

Rogers bought the home on Highland Park's iconic Beverly Drive — 3815 Beverly Dr. — in 2018 and undertook extensive renovations. He’s selling it because he and his wife, Abby, are tackling a new home renovation project, he says. Rogers Healy is owner and CEO of Dallas-based Rogers Healy and Associates Real Estate, which posted revenue of about $1 billion in 2021.

The French-style home was built in 1916. Recent updates include renovated floors, new countertops, and a backyard redesign that removed the pool. In addition, the electrical, plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems have been upgraded.

The property — listed in early 2018 at $3.5 million — has 5,479-square feet, including four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms.

Other highlights of the home include:

Close proximity to Highland Park Village and the Dallas Country Club.
Custom closet systems, garden tub, and fireplace in the main bedroom. The house has two other fireplaces: one in the dining room and the other in the family room.
Crown molding throughout.
Second-story, wrap-around porch.
Mosquito mist system.
Three-car garage.

What really stands out about the Healy property, though, is that it’s being marketed in tandem with the empty lot next door, at 3809 Beverly Dr. The lot, which has a different owner, is listed at $8 million. In all, the $16 million deal would encompass nearly 1 acre.

A Rogers Healy and Associates news release says the $16 million offering would let the new owner “build their dream home in the heart of Highland Park.”

“The Beverly Drive deal is sure to make the market talk,” the news release boasts.

Naturally, Healy himself has the listing.

After all, he has closed more than $5 billion in residential real estate deals during his career. The commercial arm of Healy’s real estate empire recently helped Dallas billionaire Mark Cuban buy the town of Mustang, south of Corsicana.

Grand Prairie expands to the south with new master-planned community

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
