Addison Circle

Location: Addison, Texas. Edge city to Dallas

Addison Circle is a prime example of a sustainable high-density mixed-use urban neighborhood within a classic "edge city" setting. The 80-acre planned development district is the result of a public/private initiative designed to develop a residential base in support of restaurant/entertainment business and to create a focal point for community life. Several distinctive design elements characterize the development. The framework is a district-wide pedestrian-friendly street grid. The area is zoned for 3,000-rental and owned mid-rise residences on the interior, and 4 million square feet of residential and commercial space fronting the Dallas Tollway. The layering and mixing of uses encourages street life and self-policing of the area, as residences overlook public streets and parks. Standards are set for landscaping, exterior materials, building scale and parking. Open space works at both a neighborhood and community level, and includes parks, jogging trails, and a large public space for town-sponsored special events. Phases one through three have been completed, with planning for later phases underway.
