CARROLLTON, Texas — Construction of a five-story, mixed-use development at the Trinity Mills Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) station in Carrollton began Friday.
The development, called Eviva Trinity Mills, at 2525 Blanton Drive at the southeast portion of the President George Bush Turnpike and I-35E interchange is part of the 25-acre Trinity Mills Station transit-oriented development made possible through a public/private partnership with the city of Carrollton, DART, The Integral Group and Koa Partners. The development is expected to have more than 430 multi-family units, as well as restaurant and retail spaces. They broke ground on the project in July.
“We’re so excited about this public-private partnership between DART, Integral, KOA, and the City of Carrollton,” Carrollton Mayor Steve Babick said in a statement. “Bringing the Trinity Mills Station vision to reality makes this site the largest transit-oriented development project in the metroplex. This has been a long-term project and is a culmination of many years of work of prior mayors and Councilmembers, and we're looking forward to bringing this segment across the finish line.”
Others at the launch included Integral Group Chairman Egbert Perry, DART CEO Nadine Lee, Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) CEO Paul Cristina, Koa Partners CEO Harry Lake, and emcee, Integral President of Real Estate Vicki Lundy Wilbon.
A 125,000-square foot, six-story office structure approved in April 2020 will serve as the marquee structure in the new development, and a three-acre green park esplanade that runs the length of the property approved in December is now complete.
Trinity Mills Station is served by the DART Green Line light rail service to Dallas and the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) A-Train commuter service to Denton.
