Construction of this development is scheduled to begin in May 2024, with completion scheduled for February 2026. * Area characteristics *
The development site is located in Haltom City, north of Fort Worth, Texas. It takes about 10 minutes to get to downtown Fort Worth by car, about 20 minutes to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and about 30 minutes to downtown Dallas, making it ideal for housing with excellent transportation convenience. This is a high area.
Texas, which has the second largest population in the United States after California, has no corporate or personal income tax, and many major global companies (TOYOTA North American headquarters, American Airlines, AT&T, ExxonMobil, Tesla, etc.) The company has relocated its headquarters to the same state, and Dallas has been ranked “the second best city for business in the United States” by Forbes magazine. Due to these trends, the influx of companies and population growth continue, and the population of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area will exceed 8.1 million in 2023, making it the metropolitan area with the highest population growth in the United States from 2022 to 2023. (7,947,439 people in 2022, 2023
8,100,037 people) *2. As the city continues to develop and the population is expected to increase, demand for housing is expected to become even stronger.
Additionally, in addition to the four major American sports (American football, baseball, basketball, and hockey), there is also a professional soccer league team in the area, and development near the stadium is progressing, which is a factor pushing up real estate prices. .
Characteristics of the property
The development will have a total of 296 units (1B, 2B, or 3B) on a site of approximately 15.95 acres (64,547 square meters).
Room multi-family apartment), building area 374,858sqft.(34,825sqm ) We are planning to develop a rental apartment community.
The community will include a clubhouse with a fitness center, lounge space, co-working space, etc., a pool, barbecue area, dog run, and other common facilities, providing a comfortable living space. In addition, there are many commercial facilities such as supermarkets and restaurants in the vicinity, and there is excellent access to expressways, making it possible to develop a residential community that also offers convenient living.
In addition, in the United States, where interest rates remain high on mortgages, there is a discrepancy in the monthly expenditures for housing when purchasing a new home and renting a new home (in the case of purchasing a new home, the amount of monthly expenditure on a home compared to renting a new home differs). The related expenditure amount will be approximately 1.5 times higher) *3, and demand for rental properties is expected to continue in the future.
This development is the second collaborative project with ASD, following the development of a residential community near Dallas (in which we invested in May 2023).
