Billingsley starts work on ambitious Dallas rental development

Developer Billingsley Co. has started construction on the 1,000-acre development, with the first 673 apartments expected to be ready by early 2013. . .

. . .“We have the potential to build 10,000 units here, so we needed to start this project in a major way,” developer Lucy Billingsley said. “Our hope and dream is we build a master-planned rental living community.”

. . .Each project will have a different feel and will tie in with walking trails. . . the buildings will range from high-end townhouse-style units to contemporary Texas-themed designs. . .

. . .“We will also have restaurants on the lake.” (The lake) will be reduced to about 300 acres. The old power plant. . . is being removed. . .
