Neighborhood Spotlight

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present homes in sought-after Briarwood

Briarwood is a charming neighborhood that was built on dairy farmland in the 1940s. This community, bordered by Lovers Lane, Inwood Road and Elsby Avenue, originally featured cottages and smaller houses, but today the neighborhood also includes newer, larger homes.

There’s a high demand for properties within Briarwood, thanks to a renewed interest in neighborhoods with a strong family atmosphere, sense of community and low crime rate. Briarwood is within walking distance to a host of restaurants, as well as Inwood Village, which features retail and the Inwood Theater.

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present three must-see homes located within this close-knit community.

The three-bedroom home at 5022 Elsby Ave., built in 1946, has been updated throughout. This home features a welcoming floor plan, modern kitchen, split large master bedroom with walk-in closets, second living area that can be used as a dining area, and a beautifully landscaped backyard with pool.

Demonstrating the variety of the neighborhood is a newer, 4,574-square foot house. Constructed in 2007, 4703 Elsby Ave. is a traditional home featuring custom accents, open floor plan, abundant natural light, four bedrooms, three living areas, game room and his-and-her garages. Directly behind the home is a park and playground.

Another large, traditional property in Briarwood is 4900 W. Stanford Ave. With an open floor plan, four bedrooms and gourmet kitchen, this home features many modern amenities. The large den overlooks the landscaped backyard, and all of the bedrooms have their own baths.

Dallas Arts Tower downtown to get a re-do and new all-day cafe

Williams New York

Dallas Arts Tower

A downtown Dallas building is receiving a big-dollar renovation: Fortis Property Group has broken ground on a re-do at Dallas Arts Tower, a 55-story office building at 2200 Ross Ave. in the Dallas Arts District that will include updates, valet service, and a new cafe.

According to a release, the multi-million-dollar capital improvement project broke ground in late June, and consists of modernizing building components. Renovations include:

transformation of the main lobby, with new flooring, lighting, furniture, upgraded elevator lobbies, and interiors
new all-day café in the northwest corner of the lobby, offering breakfast, lunch, craft coffee, and bar service during happy hour, with indoor and outdoor seating
new elevator interiors throughout the tower
enhancement of a second-floor mezzanine lounge area with updated flooring, lighting, and furnishings

On the exterior, a new LED lighting package will be installed to enhance the building’s nighttime presence.

Valet parking service will also be introduced in the building’s motor court, as part of the project.

Fortis Property Group Chief Investment Officer Terrence Storey says that the renovations "reflect our vision to offer an elevated, amenity-rich environment in one of Dallas’ most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods."

Stream has served as the exclusive leasing agent for Dallas Arts Tower since 2016, and Executive VP & Partner J.J. Leonard says that the renovation plans have already "sparked tremendous interest" resulting in new leases signed or in progress.

The current renovation follows a 2019 capital improvement plan that introduced a redesigned front plaza, an 8,000-square-foot fitness center, a 150-seat conference facility, and a reimagined Sky Lobby on the 40th floor with conference rooms, executive boardroom, and lounge areas.
