Keys to Urban DevelopmentAcross the DART Service Area, cities and developers are creating new urban, mixed-use, transit-oriented developments. People who live, work or do both in these efficient communities walk more, drive less and take public transportation more often.

DART stations attract dense, mixed-use communities

Approximately 500,000 people descend on Addison every July 3 for the town’s nationally recognized Independence Day fireworks extravaganza, Kaboom Town!®. Although the fireworks end at 10 p.m., it takes visitors a while to drive out of the area.

The opening of Addison Station – part of DART’s Cotton Belt Regional Rail Project – in late 2022 will reduce traffic congestion during highly attended events like Kaboom Town. The new rail station will be located next to the current DART transit center, which is steps from Addison Circle, the town’s signature high-density, pedestrian-friendly district.

Addison is Ready for Rail“Our town is only 4.4 square miles in size, but it has a weekday population of about 100,000,” Addison Mayor Joe Chow said. “Rail service will help residents, commuters and visitors get in and out of our city.”

In 1992, officials identified the lack of a downtown core, with a sense of place and character, as an obstacle for Addison’s continued growth. A community vision process led to plans for a new, mixed-use neighborhood to serve as the community’s heart.

The town partnered with developers to build Addison Circle as an infill project on a vacant 124-acre site between the Addison Airport and the Dallas North Tollway. With the future DART station

in mind, the planners hoped that residents could live, work and play there without needing a car.

“Addison Circle is the best transit-oriented development in the country that doesn’t yet have rail transit,” said former City Manager Ron Whitehead, who was instrumental in both the neighborhood’s creation and in advocating for DART rail service during his 31-year tenure.

The addition of rail service will pave the way for additional transit-oriented development. Already, Addison has completed a special area study to identify the best use for the city-owned land along Festival Way. This property is adjacent to the future rail station and the city has begun soliciting interested developers.

The opening of Addison Station – part of DART’s Cotton Belt Regional Rail Project – will provide rail access to the Addison Circle development in late 2022.

Carrollton Enlists Developer for Trinity Mills DistrictPicture an urban village with a brand-name hotel, multifamily housing, office buildings, retail, restaurants and public spaces. Then connect it with pedestrian-friendly walkways to Trinity Mills Station. That’s the vision the city of Carrollton and DART share for 26 acres of land the two government entities collectively own next to the rail station.

“Our intent for the Trinity Mills Transit District is a very vertical, dense, mixed-use development that will create a vibrant new destination for Carrollton,” said Krystle Nelinson, development program manager for the city.

According to the city, the property – located at the intersection of Interstate 35E and President George Bush Turnpike – is the largest publicly owned transit-oriented development site in the DFW area. The land is one of the most connected properties, too, since Trinity Mills Station is served by

both DART’s Green Line and Denton County Transportation Authority’s A-train.

DART’s portion of the land is comprised of 9 acres that was once the North Carrollton Transit Center. Community artwork from the old transit center will be integrated into the new development.

The city of Carrollton and DART envision an urban village for the 26 acres of land they collectively own next to Trinity Mills Station.

Carrollton and DART approved the term sheet with their preferred developer in April. The city and DART are negotiating the master development agreement, which the partners expect to execute later this year.

Irving’s Hidden Ridge will Include a New Rail StationDART riders traveling through Irving toward or from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport soon will see even more construction activity between North Lake College Station and Irving Convention Center Station. The city of Irving and Verizon are funding construction of the new rail station to serve a more than $1.5 billion transit-oriented development project that is currently underway.

The city of Irving along with Verizon are funding construction of the future Hidden Ridge Station at Carpenter Ranch, which will serve the adjacent Hidden Ridge development.

Arapaho Center Station will Anchor a New Innovation DistrictThe Telecom Corridor® in Richardson has been a hub of technology, innovation and commerce for decades. Now, the city wants to make it a lively and active area where more people can live and play.

City officials commissioned the Collins/Arapaho Transit-Oriented Development and Innovation District Study in 2018

to explore the possibilities. The study focused on an approximately 1,200-acre area, generally bounded by Central Expressway, Campbell Road, Plano Road and Apollo Road.

Market research and a community visioning effort found that Arapaho Center Station, which is in the district, could serve

as a front door to a new transit-oriented development. Richardson is also considering changes to Greenville Avenue to better incorporate the DART station and provide more paths for walking and bicycling.

This year, Richardson will continue discussions about strategies to redevelop the study area with interested stakeholders and institutional partners, including DART, The University of Texas at Dallas and the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. The city also will begin the process of updating the zoning and regulations to allow higher density development and a mix of uses.

Enabling more flexibility for industrial and office properties to be redeveloped will benefit property owners and encourage new uses and amenities. Along with Richardson’s planned investment in more parks, open space, trails and green space, these changes will help the district evolve from an industrial park to a walkable, mixed-use urban environment.The city of Richardson would like to rezone the area around DART’s Arapaho Center Station to attract denser,

mixed-use transit-oriented development.

Construction of the new station, which received its new name in April – Hidden Ridge at Carpenter Ranch, is expected to begin this summer and service should start in May 2020. The new station is a signature piece of the Hidden Ridge project that is being developed, in part, by Verizon. Verizon already has a campus within the Hidden

Ridge development and employs about 2,000 people. The Irving City Council approved a rezoning of an adjacent 110-acre property three years ago for new mixed-use development. Located near North Lake College, this two-million-square-foot-complex is expected to accommodate about 3.5 million square feet of new office space,

625 residential units, a hotel and 60,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space. Pioneer Natural Resources will lease 1.1 million square feet for their headquarters within Hidden Ridge. Construction should be completed in 2019.

Tyler Station Energizes a Southern Dallas Community

An old warehouse next to Tyler/Vernon Station is filled with new life.

The property, called Tyler Station, is the vision of developer and Oak Cliff native Monte Anderson. He bought the former Dixie Wax Paper Company factory in 2016 hoping to revitalize the adjacent Elmwood neighborhood. Anderson saw potential in the industrial space and sought to convert a neighborhood eyesore into a gathering place.

“I wanted to create a space where locals could work without traveling far from home,” Anderson said.

The building is now home to a variety of small businesses including a bakery, a barbershop and a thrift store. Several commercial design firms make handcrafted furniture. Artists and entrepreneurs inhabit leased studios or the co-working offices of Wax Space. Flexible event spaces are rented for anything from weddings to workshops to photo shoots. Craft beer fans stop by the taproom of the Oak Cliff Brewing Co. for a drink or two.

Tyler Station also hosts a variety of community events, including neighborhood association meetings and First Thursday, the development’s monthly open house.

“We call this place a collaboration village,” said Tara Stargrove, Tyler Station’s property manager. “While your kids take a martial arts class, you can get a slice of cake, a haircut or a beer.”

Anderson and his tenants tout DART access as one of Tyler Station’s major amenities, especially because parking is limited.

“You can get to Tyler Station by train, bus, bike or walking,” Anderson said.
