Buzz Condos are not what you expect when you think of Dallas condos. Forget glass and steel, high-rise
buildings with valet service, concierge service and infinity-edge swimming pools. Instead, Buzz Condos are all about providing its residents with modern, contemporary, downtown living at affordable prices. This project, which is valued at $8 million, includes just four stories and 49 units.
Located just south of downtown, in The Cedar area, Buzz Condos boast energy-saving features as to reduce their dependence on current energy sources. Buzz Condos are the first residential construction project that The Cedars neighborhood has seen in many years. It is also the first residential project for Dallas-based Change Chamber Development.
Some of the “green” features of Buzz Condos include:
- Rainwater irrigation systems
- Wind-powered electric service
- Extended overhangs which provide shade
- Terrazzo tile made from recycled glass
- Drought-tolerant landscaping
- Energy-Star stainless steel appliances
Change Chamber Development partnered with Green Mountain Energy for its wind-powered electricity and has also provided all of its residents with new, electric-powered mopeds from eGo Mopeds.
Residents of Buzz Condos also receive a “culture club” package, which includes DART passes and free memberships to KERA, The Nasher Sculpture Center, Old City Park and the Dallas Museum of Art. The condos range in size from 900 to 1,250 square feet and are priced from $132,000 to $246,000.
The downtown views, the easy access to downtown and all of the cool amenities make Buzz Condos extremely popular among young, urban professionals.
Some of the features of the homes include bamboo flooring, lofts, garden tubs, balconies, 11-foot, vaulted ceilings, large windows which let in plenty of natural light and spacious and flexible floorplans.
The Buzz Condos were completed in 2007.
