"I think the program is doing what it is supposed to do," said Carl Anderson, president of Larkspur Capital, which acquires, develops and manages commercial real estate assets on behalf of institutional investors. "It’s a massive program with 8,000 zones. It’s hitting its objectives by drawing private capital to previously overlooked areas. Opportunity zones have drawn us to submarkets that we may have not looked at otherwise. While a project must stand on its own, the tax effected returns can tip the scale of an investment decision."

Larkspur Development had a target audience in mind when its leaders envisionedThe Ivy, its newest townhome community in East Dallas. As a firm that is in touch with the demand created by millennial buyers, they knew there was a growing population who had outgrown their Uptown apartments but were not yet willing to settle into a house. “We’re going after sophisticated buyers who understand design and quality, want to live in the urban core without the hassle of a house, and prefer to build equity instead of pay rent,” said Larkspur managing partner Carl Anderson. Several of those people will begin moving into The Ivy this week. At the beginning of the year, eight of the 17 Phase I homes were available; by the beginning of this month, only one remained available. That sales success is no doubt due to the efforts of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’sNadine Meyer. But it also has to do with the high quality of the townhomes produced by Larkspur. The project was designed byThomas Krähenbühl & Truett Roberts, with materials and amenities that outpace anything one could find in a high-end apartment or comparable townhome.“Each of them feels like a home,” Meyer said. “They feel permanent, as opposed to some place you’re going to stay for a year or two.” Two- and three-bedroom floor plans are available with 1,676 square feet to 1,867 square feet. All of the townhouses boast two-car attached garages, private yards, large balconies with gas hookups, and vaulted ceilings up to 16 feet. Prices range from $354,900 to $386,900. “You can’t find the kind of finish-out we’re offering at that price point anywhere else in East Dallas,” said Larkspur managing partner Chris Anderson. Larkspur recently broke ground for Phase II of The Ivy, and land was just acquired for an adjacent third project. All three developments are along Fitzhugh Avenue, a burgeoning thoroughfare that is becoming a hotbed of activity.DaLat, a restaurant that serves “Vietnamerican comfort food,” has received rave reviews, and its success has resulted in the owner openingZaLat Pizzajust a few doors down. Meanwhile, a CVS Pharmacy will soon start construction just steps from The Ivy, adding to the convenience of the townhomes’ location.Prospective buyers can tour The Ivy from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

The Ivy, a new upscale gated community off of Fitzhugh Avenue in East Dallas, is being marketed byThe Meyer Groupin Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate’s InTown office.

The transformation of Fitzhugh is underway, following the revitalization of Henderson Avenue just a few blocks to the north. These units are sure to be snapped up soon, as will neighboring properties, so you’ll want to get in on the ground floor — literally and figuratively. Two- and three-bedroom floor plans are available with 1,676 square feet of space or 1,867 square feet. The larger units are listed for $374,900, while the slightly smaller ones are listed for $354,900. All of the townhouses boast two-car attached garages, private yards, large balconies with gas hookups, and vaulted ceilings up to 16 feet. In Floor Plan 1, the ground floor has a bedroom suite next to the garage; the second floor features a living room, dining room, kitchen, powder room and balcony; and the third floor includes the master suite, a third bedroom connected to the master bath, plus a utility closet. Floor Plan 2 has everything the previous plan does, except the third bedroom on the third floor is replaced by a study. Floor Plan 3 puts the study and the utility closet on the first floor with the garage, creating space for a second bedroom suite on the third floor in addition to the master suite. Floor Plan 4 eliminates the study and moves the utility closet back to the third floor with the two bedroom suites. The kitchens feature Caesarstone counters, and the bathrooms are finished in Carrara marble. All of the hardwood floors were custom stained, and the cabinets were custom built. Each home is green-build certified, using high-efficiency energy and water plus Milgard windows. Fixtures are by Kohler and Mirabelle.

The development will also include an extension of Southwest Johnson Avenue from Gardens that will provide a direct connection to Wilshire Boulevard and the shopping center. Several businesses have already committed to open their doors in the new development like Schlotzsky’s, Cinnabon, Baskin Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts. Larkspur Managing Partner Carl Anderson said now that Wilshire Gardens has broken ground they’ve received a lot of interest from retailers. “We’re really excited about the project and working with the city,” Anderson said before the ceremony. “We still have a few available spaces left and we’re talking to a few prospects.” The firm’s leasing agent Mason Bishop said because the project is located next to an intersection that Wilshire Gardens will drive lots of interest from businesses and the public. Mayor Pro Tem Dan McClendon said the event is important to the city and one of those rare projects that come through city council where everyone is excited. “The Wilshire project is one of those projects that comes through our city council and projects that come through city council get various responses,” he said during the ceremony. “They get a ‘fine’ sometimes and get sent back and this and that ... but there are two words that I associate with this project since the first time I saw it, and those two words are, ‘Oh yeah.’ “The plan that they have, the site, what they intend to use for this property that’s laid here for so long ... I say, ‘Oh yeah.’” State Rep. Rob Orr, R-Burleson, said being a part of the community he can’t wait for this “fun” project to finally open. “What a great development this is going to be and how excited Burleson is to have this development ... I mean this is where the fun is going to happen. Baskin Robbins, Cinnabon and all the fun things are gonna happen and with the Dunkin’ Donuts you know it’s going to be a safe place, right?” he said while the attendees laughed. “This is going to be a place to be.” Economic Development Director Justin Bond said that over the last year Burleson has seen a lot of success from the industrial front. “You go down High Point Business Park and Bethesda and [Farm-to-Market Road] 917 on [Interstate] 35 you can see all the development happening there. But I think it might not matter how many jobs if people can’t say, ‘I can go through the drive thru and say, ‘I’d like an Original Sandwich with extra olives,’” Bond joked, referring to the Schlotzsky’s development. “I’m glad we’re doing a groundbreaking like this along Wilshire. This is an important corridor for us as a city.” View full article. Read More »

Burleson residents will soon have a new place to satisfy that sweet tooth with the attraction of Baskin-Robbins to the Wilshire Gardens development. The ice cream store will be in the same location as Dunkin' Donuts, next to Schlotzsky's Deli, Burleson Economic Development Manager Justin Bond said. "Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins actually go together in a combo shop," he said. "It's their new model." The Wilshire Gardens development, approved earlier this year, is going in at the corner of Gardens Boulevard and Texas 174. The 18,000-square-foot space has room for several fast casual restaurants as well as retail or neighborhood services, such as a salon. Bond said stores that could go into the development would be similar in size to those at Gateway Station. "They have room for another restaurant as far as parking goes," he added. "It won't fill up entirely with restaurants. There are about 8,000 feet of space remaining for a lease." Bond said the developer also plans to extend Johnson Avenue to the west to Texas 174 which will make it easier for patrons to enter and exit the parking lot. View full article. Read More »
