Dream Living in the Sky

Stop looking for your dream home. This Dallas high-rise has it.

If you're on the hunt for a new homestead in 2017 (or even the tail end of this year), Residences at the Stoneleigh could be your new definition of #homegoals.

The newly built, 22-story structure at 2300 Wolf St. is adjacent to Uptown and minutes from downtown, Klyde Warren Park, and the Dallas Arts District. And, yes, it is affiliated with the historic Stoneleigh hotel (now Le Méridien Dallas, The Stoneleigh), which has held Art Deco court in the neighborhood since 1923.

Ebby Halliday Realtor Linda Jordan Hobbs and her team of Stacey Beckham Lake, Susan Gamso, and Joe Gall have intel on the endless possibilities that come with the quartet of units she currently has on the market. These units — which range in price from $1.7 and $2 million — are customizable two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layouts of approximately 2,500 square feet each.

Because Residences at the Stoneleigh is all new, future owners can even personalize their unit's wall coverings, flooring materials, countertops, appliances, cabinetry, lighting design, and more before they move in.

And once you've got your living space planned down to the tiniest detail, it's time to focus on the building's amenities. Who wouldn’t love a private elevator, large balconies, and panoramic views? Plus there's also 24/7 concierge service, a resort-style pool, fully equipped fitness center, outdoor fireplace and grills, and multiple entertaining areas that include a theater, bar, and banquet room. And Fido even has his own dog park. #homegoals indeed.

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.
