Barely measuring 38,000 square feet, the site includes one half of the adjacent street. With several easements and old infrastructure, the project required ample work with utilities and collaboration with the City of Dallas to abandon old facilities that were no longer providing service. The site includes a street lined with several adult Live Oaks, which needed to remain undisrupted. In addition, the site is off the main boulevard in the area, which created visibility issues.

Design and Conquer

In order to overcome the aforementioned quandaries, PRA sought the counsel and expertise of PRA Construction, Inc. PRA Construction, Inc., Provident Realty’s internal construction subsidiary, carefully scheduled delivery of material when it was needed in the construction process and negotiated special access with neighboring properties.
