    Sky-Rise Living

    Dallas dweller finds ideal urban oasis at city's most eagerly awaited high-rise

    Feb 12, 2015 | 1:22 pm

    Lifelong Dallasite Shawn Terry is about to have a new home address. This month, the investment banker and co-founder of MHT Midspan became the latest owner of a new Bleu Ciel condominium.

    Situated within the 18-city block district of HARWOOD, the 33-story condominium tower is being developed by Harwood International. The property will offer the location and amenities that today’s discriminating homebuyers demand.

    “I was looking into moving from my home in Kessler Park into the city, but there were very few options that offered the quality of design and amenities I wanted,” Terry says. “Harwood International’s high-rises far exceeded any other developer.”

    Just 10 years ago, the Dallas urban living scene looked decidedly different, with few opportunities for upscale in-city living. However, the desire for work-live-play communities, local retail and a diverse yet close-knit neighborhood have fueled the development of mixed-use areas such as the district of HARWOOD.

    Now, as Dallas has earned an international reputation as a cosmopolitan city — thanks in part to a world-renowned arts district, multiple sporting venues, and a long list of lauded retail and dining establishments — it has transformed in to what Terry calls an “urban oasis.” Affluent professionals like Terry want to live in areas that facilitate their active lifestyles, offer a breadth of culinary experiences and provide convenience. The fact that Bleu Ciel is adjacent to the fitness-friendly Katy Trail and within walking distance to his place of work are two other reasons why Terry chose to move.

    Beauty inside and out
    Inside the community, Bleu Ciel has it all: a world-class spa, innovative fitness center, two Olympic-sized pools, private garages, valet and concierge services, private dog park, private wine tasting room, and a social room with kitchen and cinema. Terry and the other residents will also enjoy select retail on the ground floor, including a gourmet grocery market offering resident delivery, bike shop, juice bar and additional dining establishments.

    And then there are the views. Residents will have floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping terraces that afford 360-degree panoramic views of downtown, Park Cities and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.

    A prominent location, grand amenities and pristine finishes are many of the reasons why affluent professionals of all ages are moving to Bleu Ciel.

    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 call 214-965-1099. Please also visit us online and on Facebook.

    Dallas Got Robbed

    The richest small town in Texas is surprisingly not in Dallas

    Facebook / City of Bellaire, Texas
    Houston neighbor Bellaire is the richest town in Texas.

    A survey of affluent small towns has found one town in Texas to be at the top of the list, but shockingly, it is not in Dallas. The town of Bellaire, a small enclave within the Houston metro area, has earned the top spot as the richest small town in Texas for 2025. Boo.

    The report, "The Richest Small Town in Every State," from GoBankingRates, selected one city from each state, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey to determine the 50 richest small towns based on their median household income.

    Describing Bellaire as a "small town" might be a misnomer. It's located less than 10 miles from downtown Houston and is fully surrounded by the City of Houston. It's really more of a wealthy enclave within Houston, with a population of just over 17,000 residents.

    Those affluent citizens earn a median $236,311 in income every year, which GoBankingRates says is the 11th highest household median income out of all 50 cities included in the report.

    The average home in this city is worth over $1.12 million, but Bellaire's lavish residential reputation often attracts properties with multi-million-dollar price tags.

    Bellaire also earned a shining 81 livability score for its top quality schools, health and safety, commute times, with an abundance of exceptional local amenities.

    Those include conveniently located grocery stores, coffee shops, diverse dining options, and spacious parks.

    It's not the first time that Bellaire has caught the eye of GoBankingRates, which previously ranked it as the No. 23 wealthiest suburb in America, and it's been named on similar lists comparing the richest American cities.

    Dallas can take comfort in the fact that a different survey found Lewisville to be of the cities attracting the most high-income households, meaning those that make more than $200,000. However, census data places the most recent median income in Lewisville at $85,002 — so it's nowhere close to catching up to Bellaire.
