NFL Hall of Famer gives up Dallas penthouse with private pool for $4.8 million

We spotted over on Candy's Dirt that former Dallas Cowboy Deion Sanders is making real estate moves again. While his Prosper mansion is still up for grabs, those looking to soak in the celeb's style a little closer to Dallas can now put in an offer on his penthouse at the Azure.

The fancy condo high-rise in Uptown only has two two-level penthouses, and Sanders is giving up one of them. Listed with Rogers Healy, unit 3002 at 2900 McKinnon St. is just about to go live at $4,800,000.

What does all that dough get you, besides knowing you're moving into the home of a Pro Football Hall of Famer? Three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms are nestled into the 5,081 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in an incredible view of downtown Dallas, which you can also admire from the terrace lounge that has a wet bar and its own private pool.

That's right: 30 stories up, and you get your own pool.

The kitchen is predictably gorgeous, with natural stone and granite finishes and Sub-Zero appliances. There's a private elevator, so you don't even have to make small talk with your neighbors.

Of course, this property also comes with all the Azure amenities: full-time concierge services, valet, a fitness center, theater room, and resort-style pool. Not that you'll need the latter, what with your very own up in the clouds.

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.
