High-end homes replace duplexes

Austin-based home builder PSW Real Estate recently launched its newest highdensity housing development in East Dallas. The project, called 5300 Glencoe Park, is planned for the corner at Winton, Anita and Ellsworth, across the street from Glencoe Park. PSW will demolish the 34 duplexes that currently occupy the space and build 68 single-family homes in their place. The homes will range from 2,000-3,000 square feet with three or four bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Prices start in the mid$500,000s. Like all of PSW’s homes, these will be complete with energy-efficient features such as solar systems and spray-foam installation. Demolition on the duplexes will begin immediately and construction is slated to begin this month. Last year, Trammell Crow Residential was in talks with Brooks Partners, who previously owned the property, to buy the duplexes. Trammell Crow wanted to turn the duplexes into a 330-unit, high-end apartment complex but the neighborhood didn’t approve.

Ice cold

Soon you won’t have to leave the neighborhood for cryotherapy. CryoUSA is opening a location in Arboretum Village. The company began construction on a 2,600-square-foot space and could be finished by September. Cryotherapy is a hyper-cooling process that athletes use for recovery. CryoUSA made headlines after the Dallas Mavericks credited some of its success in winning the 2011 NBA Championship to cryotherapy.

Also at Arboretum Village, The Village Salons, a 7900-square-foot establishment in Arboretum Village, opened 42 suites for hair styling, massage, estheticians, med spa and more. And Ideal Dental was negotiating a lease for a space behind Luke’s Locker. If all goes as planned, construction could begin later this year.
