    Vitruvian

    Vitruvian Park will become a model for sustainable urban development

    Vitruvian Park is located just north and west of two of the most important arterials in the Dallas metropolitan area, LBJ Freeway and the Dallas North Toll Road. The development will be delivered in phases to carefully create an inviting neighborhood with a variety of luxury housing options including traditional flats, soft lofts, and townhouse style homes.

    Designed on an appealing human scale, mindful of the ancient principles of Vitruvius – the renowned Roman architect… and of Leonardo de Vinci’s study of man – the development will put urbanites within a few minutes walk to work, play and home. To be executed in an environmentally responsible and thoughtful way, Vitruvian Park will become a model for sustainable urban development and will attest to UDR’s determined commitment to being a leader for responsible development.

    The community will include a 12 acre park built around a spring-fed creek and connected to area bicycle and jogging trails, a second neighborhood park with an amphitheater and a third park for a variety of outdoor games establishing Vitruvian Park as a community for active urban dwellers.

    Phase I, which broke ground in May 2008, is designed to include 744 apartment homes as well as 26,000 square feet of retail space at the street level. Also included is an office element of approximately 18,500 square feet. Residents and office occupants will enjoy restaurants, vital services and a 12 acre park with jogging and bike trails designed around a meandering creek and ponds. Apartment amenities will include a swimming pool, demonstration kitchen, movie theater, fitness center, business center and a social gathering area for residents.

    Air ducts should be sealed with mastic sealant, a putty-like material that can be purchased at hardware stores. Because of the Texas heat, the glue on traditional duct tape dries out and loses its adhesive quality. Mastic never totally hardens so it doesn't dry out loosen with age.
