Vertical Living
The Residences at The Ritz Carlton is an extremely desirable condo-hotel because of the renowned Ritz-Carlton standard of excellence. Residents take full advantage of luxury living in the regency-style building which includes valet, gourmet dining, butler service and more. An adjoining second phase called The Tower with separate entrances, elevators and parking is the only new high-end, high-rise luxury homes to be ready for move-in before 2011. Other area condo-hotels are The Residences at Hotel Palomar in north Dallas, The Mansion Residences in Turtle Creek, and The Metropolitan Club at Hotel ZaZa in Uptown.

NEW CONSTRUCTION

Pearl Street and Woodall Rodgers Freeway in the Arts District is the site of the new $200 million Museum Tower. The sleek and curving glass structure will add to the Downtown skyline and offer VIP services for residents. Construction on the 42-story condo tower started this summer and is slated to have 123 luxury units for sale at prices starting at $1 million.

Upscale three story homes, called The Brownstones at Town Square, are a combination of small-town atmosphere with a modern city feel. The brownstones are located in Southlake within the Town Square enclave. Upscale materials and old world charm have made the development appealing to those spending $400,000 to $600,000 on their brownstone home.

Canton Townhomes in Downtown Dallas will be priced between $274,000 and $365,000 and the first units will be finished by the end of October. The three story downtown homes with rooftop patio are within walking distance to the Dallas Farmers Market and DART transportation.

READY TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS

According to MetroTex Association of REALTORS, the average price of a townhouse/condominium in Dallas County increased to $133,000, which represented a 6 percent increase from August of last year. In general, though, pricing can run from the $100,000s to more than $6 million depending on the neighborhood, amenities and features. What distinguishes the Dallas market is the ample supply of properties in all styles and price ranges, especially compared to other U.S. and international cities.

Before embarking on a search for your new home with a view, use the help of a professional by visiting www.dfwrealtors.com and searching for a Realtor.
