Koa Partners, a developer based in Irving, hopes to break ground in the spring for the transit-oriented project coming to Carrollton.
The Dallas Morning News reports the project will be in Trinity Mills Station and is planned to be near the corner of Stemmons Freeway and Bush Turnpike on Trinity Mills Road.
The project will also be next to a DART light rail station and take up about 25-acres. According to The Dallas Morning News, Carrollton is currently spending $12 million on the project.
In 2003, Carrollton bought and demolished a Home Depot store after DART opened its Green Line commuter station near the Trinity Mills Station property. Carrollton now owns additional land in that same area. Marc Guy, the assistant city manager, said that their long-term goal would be redevelopment opportunities around Trinity Mills Station. “We really see this as the beginning of opportunity for that entire area,” he said.
Koa Partners is a real estate company based in Irving. They are currently looking for tenants for their 135,000 square-foot office building, which will be the first project in the development to be built. CallisonRKTL were the architects behind the design of the six-story building. The building is set to start construction in May and will open in 2023, according to planning documents filed with the state. The large public plaza that Carrollton is building will link the new development with the DART Green Line and Denton County Transportation Authority commuter rail station. It will be one of several new projects planned for the future of North Texas.
In October 2021, Koa Partners bought Amber Trail Corporate Park, a two-building office campus. The campus was built in 1998 and is 150,000 square feet. The company said that the campus will be rebranded as Amber Trail Office Park and that Lincoln Property Co. will manage the buildings. “Yes, we are making progress,” said Harry Lake, the CEO of Koa Partners.
