Re:Studio Architecture

This team means business. At Builders of Hope CDC, we're not just providing quality affordable housing for shelter. We're tackling systemic barriers that have prevented Black and Brown families from increasing their economic condition. Over our 25-year history, we've generated over $30M in wealth for low to moderate-income families in Dallas County. On average, a BOH homebuyer receives $70k in equity at closing due to our innovative financing model. This is how we continue to build wealth for the hardworking families in our city. Your support can make a tangible difference. Join us in our mission to create lasting change and ensure every Dallas resident has the opportunity to thrive.

Our philosophy as a company revolves around tailoring the experience of our residents to the unique amenities of the surrounding City. In pursuit of this aim, we're excited to participate in programs and events that engage the community and provide platforms for local creatives to showcase their talents. Proxy Properties will be hosting an Art Walk at their Oak Cliff Assembly Site in East Oak Cliff next Saturday July 6th from 2pm-8pm, featuring more than 100 local artists, and local food and beer vendors. These are the type of events that we believe enhance the communities we develop in and we are proud to be a co-sponsor. https://lnkd.in/gbWYEwjv Check out the work of Proxy over on their IG: @proxyproperty

As we head into the weekend, today is the final day of the under construction portfolio reveal. We look forward to bringing you further updates as we progress through construction and transition to construction on additional projects in the coming months. We appreciate the engagement thus far and encourage you to reach out to hear more about what we have planned! Another project in partnership with Re:Studio Architecture is the highlight for Day 6. --- Mail Avenue Apartments at 2220 Mail Ave. in Dallas is less than half a mile from West Mockingbird Lane, the northern boundary of Medical District, a significant economic driver for the submarket and region attracting medical professionals, researchers, students, and patients from across the country. The project is also less than half a mile from Dallas Love Field, providing convenient access to another job and transportation hub. On-site amenities include a fitness facility, a coworking space, and a community lounge that includes a balcony with a view of Downtown Dallas. The project’s unit mix includes 19 studios and 20 1BRs. More than half of our studio units at Mail Avenue will offer balconies in excess of 100 square feet. The four street-facing studios on the fourth floor will feature massive 225 square foot balconies, while the other large wrap-around studio balconies will enjoy a private alcove with a downtown view. The project began construction in April 2024 and is on track for completion by February 2025. 

Another Dallas construction project with Re:Studio Architecture is the highlight for Day 5. --- Zoo Phase I Apartments at 850 South Ewing Ave. in Dallas is less than half a mile from the Southern Gateway Park, a 5-acre bridge park that is under construction and expected to open to the public in 2026 connecting Oak Cliff to East Oak Cliff supercharging the area’s revitalization efforts. Additionally, as the name suggests, the project is located around the corner from the Dallas Zoo, a 106-acre zoo home to more than 2,000 animals representing over 400 species from around the world. The project’s unit mix includes 20 studios, 16 1BRs, and 4 2BR townhome units. The project began construction in February 2024 and is on track for completion by December 2024.

What they don’t tell you about business pivots! Three years ago I pitched a 5 year vision for Builders of Hope Community Development Corporation called the “Build A Better Dallas.” This plan included BOH expanding its services and transitioning to a more comprehensive housing development strategy by adding multi family to our portfolio. Why this change ? While homeownership is important and will continue to be our flagship initiative, creating access to affordable housing for all incomes is a growing need and Dallas has a big gap for practitioners. This required a pivot. Pivots are scary. Pivots are intimidating. But pivots are necessary. Developing our first low density multi family project has tested and tried me, challenged and caused me to question my skills and ability. Pivots can be painful but they are also very personal. To the leader that’s holding on to the old while watching the landscape change, or the high skilled worker behind the desk of a job that don’t tap into their potential…. PIVOT because there is purpose on the other side of the pivot pains. #leadership101
