Armonia: Work in Progress
Armonia Timeline: Why Mixed Use Now?
West Dallas Beginnings, 20th Century Industrialization
West Dallas like much of Dallas was primarily agriculture, until the construction of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. In the early 20th century, West Dallas experienced rapid industrialization, attracting various manufacturing and industrial companies, leading to a surge in population as workers flocked to the area. As a result, residential areas developed alongside industry accommodate the growing workforce.
21st Century Industrial Decline to Fertile Community Foundations
As industry declined, and West Dallas was annexed officially in 1954, the area faced serious challenges due to the socioeconomic pressure on workers and their families and systemic redlining practices in housing preceding civil rights. The neighborhood became fractured due to low-income housing and deteriorating infrastructure, and areas were disinvested without access to investment or opportunity.
21st Century Challenges: Gentrification and Affordability
A turning point in West Dallas's property development was the construction of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The bridge spans the Trinity River and serves as an iconic gateway to West Dallas, connecting it to downtown Dallas. The bridge's completion sparked renewed interest in the area and catalyzed further investment.
This brings us to the Armonia Development Story, where we are seeing property values rising, and investors and developers alike, looking to West Dallas, the need to preserve affordability for existing homeowners and low to moderate-income earners, is critical. New apartment complexes, townhomes, and mixed-use developments that were initially constructed to meet the demand for housing require revitalization and the area needs more housing for residents and essential workers in the area. This need is our catalyst in the Armonia Development.
