PROJECTS

The Collins is a 312-unit garden-style apartment community located in Richardson, Texas. The property’s value-add strategy focuses on both amenity and in-unit upgrades. Targeted in-unit upgrades include new kitchen countertops and backsplash, in-unit washer/dryer, pet yards, and a renovated tech package/security system. Proposed amenity upgrades include brand new gym equipment, expansion of the business center, and upgrades to the clubhouse, bar area, and leasing office. The proposed upgrades will complement the existing amenity offerings well, which also include: a resort-style pool, a dog park, and a playground.

Dane Park North Garland is a garden style apartment community located in North Dallas in the rapidly growing city of Garland, Texas.

This concept takes traditional value-add and steps it up to the next level by delivering best-in-class amenities, facilities, services and offering solutions to every need a dog owner may have living in an apartment setting.
