FROM THE PRESIDENT'S P.O.V.
You’ve heard the phrase Time is of the essence?
Have I got an example for you. There are only seven non-penthouse homes left at HALL Arts Residences, the game-changing superluxury high-rise in the Dallas Arts District.
We have been the exclusive brokerage for that glassy, gorgeous building since it opened, in 2020. Our agents on the project, Cindi Caudle and Kyle Richards, have done a stellar job selling the homes there, which come with one, two or three bedrooms and the most spectacular city and horizon views imaginable.
Cindi and Kyle will humbly tell you that the building sells itself. It is a stunner — 28 stories and only 50 homes, including the three full-floor penthouses that are available. One of them is the Gallery Penthouse, the entire 26th floor, with the perfect mix of intimate and grand spaces. It is loaded with luxuries, too, including 12-foot pocket doors, a monumental living-room fireplace, a wine cellar and a library, pictured above. The other two penthouses — a full floor each, on 27 and 28 — will be revealed in due time. You will be amazed.
Every home at HALL Arts Residences is a masterwork, and the building offers unique amenities that include a wine-focused dining room, a rooftop putting green, a superb contemporary-art collection and the neighboring HALL Arts Hotel. (Yes, you can have anything from Ellie’s restaurant sent right up to your home.)
But not if you don’t act fast. Drop me a line or come see our listings at 1747 Leonard Street in Dallas at briggsfreeman.com. Make a little haste. I don’t want Time is of the essence to turn into I told you so.
