The City of Carrollton and other partners announced on Tuesday they had broken ground on the city’s latest transit-oriented development (TOD). This new construction is the largest of its kind in the north Texas region.
Located at Trinity Mills Station, this five-story project is part of a 25-acre transit-oriented development (TOD) created in partnership with the City of Carrollton, The Integral Group, KOA Partners, and DART. It will be a mixed-use building with residential, restaurant, and retail amenities.
Ravi Shah, the director of urban development for the City of Carrollton, said in a press release that this building is the “third monumental milestone of the catalyst Phase I development,” which advances the shared mission of the city and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to create a thriving mixed-use district.
“Every aspect of Trinity Mills Station is designed with meticulous attention to detail,” Carrollton Mayor Steve Babick said in the release. “The quality partnerships forged here are what ensure its success and continue to make Carrollton the community that families and businesses want to call home.”
The building will feature more than 430 multi-family units and live/work spaces. The city initially broke ground on the overall project in January 2023, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
City officials expect the area to grow from a 25-acre TOD to a 300-acre hub for the north Texas region.
In the release, Babick said Trinity Mills Station is the largest publicly owned TOD and the most “connected.”
“It is also the only transfer hub in the DFW Metroplex connecting the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) A-Train commuter service to Denton and the DART Green Line light rail service to Dallas,” Babick added.
Shah hopes the hub will be a “gateway” for traffic on President George Bush Turnpike and I-35 East and trains to and from DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field.
