Now is the Time to Buy in Victory Park

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Victory Park is a 75-acre master-planned community in Dallas that boasts everything from high-residences to beautiful hotels and upscale restaurants and shops.

Located on the west side of Dallas, this area has become one of the most successful examples of new construction over the last few years. However, like nearly every other area of Dallas, it has experienced a downturn due, in part, to the economic downturn.

Just a couple examples of the exceptional construction found in Victory Park include the W Dallas and the House by Starck & Yoo. These two high-rise condominium projects undoubtedly provide some of the finest residential living in Dallas. From infinity-edge swimming pools and custom-designed interiors to sweeping skyline views and open concept floor plans, these high-rise condos speak to the luxury demanded by Dallas

A Closer Look at the House Condos

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Sitting in the spectacular Victory Park section of Dallas, the House Condos are all things amazing. This extraordinary condo address, which was designed by the internationally renowned designers, Philippe Starck and Yoo, is 28 stories of superb, city living.

The House is located at the southern end of Victory Park, thereby making this condo address close to the Tollway, Stemmens Freeway, Woodall Rodgers, the Katy Trail and the Victory Park rail station.

More than 150 residences comprise the residential tower of the House Condos, although every residence feels quite serene and private. This condo community is ideal for business professionals, as it features everything from a prime, urban address to a business center and conference room. That is not to say, however, that other types of families don

The House: Why These Luxury Residences aren

Friday, August 28th, 2009

A lousy economy, a tough housing market, and the Victory Park problems are all wreaking havoc on the luxury condominium residences of the House.

Let’s start off by saying that the House is simply outstanding. In terms of luxury surroundings and upscale services and amenities, it is unsurpassed.

The Magnificence of the House

Rising 28 stories into the Dallas skyline, The House features one, two and three-bedroom condominium residences priced from $399,900.

The architecture and exterior designs, which were designed Elkus Manfredi, are a lesson in perfection, while the stunning interiors, designed by Philippe Starck and Yoo, speak of exquisite taste and design sense.

Just some of the residence finishes found throughout the House include limestone bathrooms, gleaming, hardwood floors, high-end appliance packages, soaring ceilings and breathtaking views of the Dallas skyline.

Perhaps the only thing that surpasses the outstanding residences of the House are the outstanding services and amenities.

Just some of the services and amenities afforded to the residents of the House include: a 130-foot lap pool; a dog park; a fitness center, complete with Italian-designed fitness equipment; a conference room; and a guest suite.

The location of the House seems to be nearly perfect, as well, as it is comfortably situated smack dab in the middle of Victory Park, near the American Airlines Center, the W Hotel and Condominiums and the House of Blues.

Victory Park and its Flaws

But perhaps it is the Victory Park location that has hurt the sale of the House.

Victory Park, hailed by some as Dallas’ best achievement, is a sprawling, 75-acre community that was originally the brainchild of Ross Perot. He envisioned upscale dining and shopping, and equally upscale residences.

Victory Park’s location was also masterfully designed, as it is ideally located near all, major areas of Dallas, including the Arts District, Turtle Creek, Uptown and, of course, downtown Dallas.

However, it seems that Victory Park in all its splendor has turned many potential residents and visitors away with its almost too high-end offerings.

The result is that many of the marvelous residences of Victory Park, including the House, are not filling up quite as quickly as expected.

The developers of Victory Park seem to have taken note of this flaw in its design, and have subsequently begun bringing more economical venues here.

As the developers begin to realize the importance of more popular retailers and restaurants, Victory Park will soon become the premier destination for Dallas residents, thereby helping the overall success of the House.
