According to Addison Magazine, the Fall 2007 issue, a major redevelopment project is about to begin in Addison. United Dominion Realty Trust (UDRT) is acquiring approximately 2,400 rental units near Brookhaven Country Club with the intention of tearing them down and rebuilding new ones in their place. These are the apartments currently on Brookhaven Club Drive and may possibly include some along Marsh Lane and Spring Valley Road.
UDRT plans to include office space and retail space in the reconstruction, expected to take 6-10 years. The new west side development will rival Addison Circle, the north side self-contained master-planned community with brownstone style apartments intergrated with retail, dining and office storefronts. The plan is to continue the new urbanism theme, blending work, retail and housing all within the same community.
When I first moved to Dallas (almost 30 years ago), I lived in an apartment on Spring Valley near Brookhaven Club Drive for a few years. A revitalization of the area now is a positive step. But where and how will the 2,400+ current residents be absorbed?
