JLB Partners building 1,400 unit luxury apt complex in
Northeast Dallas
Steve Brown, Dallas Morning News, 07-26-13
Developer JLB Partners has started work on what will be one of the largest new rental communities in northeast Dallas.
JLB plans to eventually build almost 1,400 apartments on a 19-acre tract on Skillman Avenue at Amesbury Drive.
The project will replace several blocks of 1960s apartments including the Amesbury Parc project.

“We will start construction in late September.”
Miltenberger said more than 500 apartments will be included in the first phase of the development.
The new JLB rental community will be built on the north side of DART’s rail right-of-way where construction is underway on a new pedestrian trail linking Mockingbird Lane and White Rock Lake.
JLB already has experience in the neighborhood. The company built an almost 300-unit apartment complex on University Drive near Skillman called The Standard.
A few blocks away on Lovers Lane and Matilda builders Carbon Landmark Development and Tradition Senior Living are developing an almost 13-acre site at Street into a combination of apartments and seniors housing.
JLB is North Texas’ busiest apartment builder.
The Irving-based company is currently developing a 311-unit apartment project in East Dallas near Henderson Avenue.
And JLB just announced plans for an 18-story rental high-rise on Uptown’s Katy Trail.
The developer is also part of the team that’s building the $1.5 billion Richardson mixed-use campus that includes offices for State Farm Insurance. JLB will build about 500 apartments in the Richardson project.
