DALLAS – Transwestern today announces the sale of 2.67 acres at 2105 and 2211 W. Davis St. in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas to a partnership controlled by GroundFloor Development. The locally based developer plans construction of a mixed-use residential and retail project at the site. Transwestern Senior Vice President Steve Williamson and Associate Ben Coffee represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
“This was one of the largest contiguous tracts of vacant land remaining on West Davis Street, so the interest on this property from the Dallas development community was exceptional, with multiple offers received,” said Williamson. “It was a pleasure to work with the GroundFloor team, which includes Matt Holley, who had been involved in securing the land’s original planned development zoning ordinance back in 2007 and developed the Kessler Woods community directly to the north of the West Davis site.”
The site’s existing zoning allows for 20 townhomes and a five-story apartment project with ground-floor retail.
With frontage on three streets, West Davis Street, North Oak Cliff Boulevard and Stevens Village Drive, the property is near the Stevens Park Golf Course and a short walk from the popular Bishop Arts District with its numerous restaurants and boutique retail shops. Other neighbors include Bell Bishop Arts, St. Cecilia Catholic School, Rosemont Elementary and the affluent, gated residential community of Kessler Woods.
“We are very excited about the opportunity that this site presents for our company,” said Brandon Bolin, GroundFloor President and CEO. “The north Oak Cliff and Bishop Arts areas are considered two of the crown jewels of Dallas, and we are looking forward to delivering a mixed-use project for which the Kessler Park and Bishop Arts communities can be proud.”
In 2017, Williamson brokered the sale of the 6.2-acre tract directly north of the West Davis site to David Weekley Homes for The Reserve at Kessler Heights, which includes 12 single-family residences and 50 townhomes. It is currently under development, with delivery of the first homes expected later this year.
