Dallas’ hottest luxury residence rolls out brand-new condos at unbeatable price

Since opening last spring, The Shelby Residences, a project by The Marquis Group, has wowed Dallasites in search of an urban lifestyle in luxe surroundings. Located in the heart of East Dallas’ new University Crossing neighborhood, the 55-unit development offers prime access to top destinations such as Katy Trail, DART Rail, and Mockingbird Station — just to name a few.

The condos sit on the former site of one of automotive icon Carroll Shelby’s garages and features a decidedly modern aesthetic that nods to the locale’s history. Case in point: the four AC Cobra car hoods painted by a local artist that greet you in the lobby.

Following the overwhelming success of phases I and II, The Shelby Residences is rolling out its third and final phase.

The new one- and two-bedroom units are priced from $193,000 to $381,000; come in a variety of floorplans; and feature a number of premium upgrades, including stainless appliances, plush wool carpeting, and large walk-in closets. Buyers have a choice between two designer color schemes, which offer soft gray or warm brown for their Puccini porcelain wood-planked floors, crystal white or carbon black quartz countertops, and custom shaker cabinets in gray or white.

To celebrate the phase III rollout and to give Dallas residents a peek at all it has to offer, The Shelby Residences is hosting a special event on Tuesday, March 22, 5:30-7:30 pm. Stop by for light bites and beverages, live music from Dan Quinn, and a trunk show from Trunk Club Dallas.

During the event, take a guided tour of the two beautiful model homes designed by Cheryl Ketner Interiors. Don’t miss the residence’s onsite amenities: owners’ lounge with custom furniture, kitchenette and flat screen TV’s; outdoor rooftop terrace with fire pits and seating areas; dog park; and fully equipped fitness center.

“We’re really excited to give potential homeowners the opportunity to experience the cool vibe of University Crossing,” says Shelby sales associate Julie Quigley, “as well as the chic lifestyle to be lived at The Shelby Residences.”

Don’t miss the event to see all that The Shelby has to offer. RSVP to events@theshelbyresidences.com or drop by any time between 5:30 and 7:30 pm. Valet is complimentary.

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.
