Luxury high rises
such as Museum Tower are attracting homeowners who are excited about living in
proximity to dining, entertainment and arts venues.
A few months ago, residents of Museum Tower
gathered on beautifully appointed balconies to enjoy a bird’s eye view of
Aurora, an incredible light and art show that unfolded across the span of
Dallas’ renowned Arts District.
Days later they strolled over to the Klyde WarrenPark, picnic baskets in hand, to experience the first simulcast performance of
Bizet’s Carmen, presented by TheDallas Opera.
It’s no wonder that urbanites, both veteran and
newly minted, are flocking to Downtown to enjoy an elevated lifestyle at
exquisitely designed buildings that are, themselves, unparalleled works of art.
In 2013, growth in Dallas’ high-rise neighborhoods
was truly remarkable. According to MLS there was a 36.4 percent increase in the
number of units sold, and a 49.6 percent increase in volume. Increasing demand
for well-appointed high-rise homes generated a 9.7 percent rise in prices
during the same time period.
“We continue to see dynamic growth in
Uptown/Downtown neighborhoods, and in fact our sales are up 109 percent over
last year in this area,” commented Robbie Briggs, President and CEO of Briggs
Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.
Residents at every phase of life are experiencing
the convenience of walking to fine restaurants, premier shopping, museums,
galleries and the bustling urban oasis, Klyde Warren Park. The area is
especially appealing to smart-sizers looking to replace the demands of a large
family home with the freedom of a lock and leave lifestyle.
Nowhere is this trend more visible than in the
luxury high-rise category, where 2013 saw an 88 percent increase in units
closed and 100 percent increase in volume.
“People who are true connoisseurs of life, those
who could live anywhere they want, are choosing to live in Museum Tower because
it is at the pinnacle of Dallas’ most vibrant and exciting neighborhood,” says
Steve Sandborg, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Museum Tower. This
Scott Johnson designed landmark combines spectacular views, unequaled concierge service, a coveted location and a culture of entrepreneurs, leaders
and adventurers.
Already more than 20 percent of the building’s
square footage has been claimed by residents with an appreciation for the
unconventional and uncompromising.
