The Colony Real Estate: Austin Ranch Bridges the Gap Between Development & Humanity

Posted Oct 11, 2008 @ 1:36 pm, Viewed by 506 Visitors, Read 523 Times.

As the Austin Ranch development sprawls ever so steadily across the area just north of Dallas, DFW residents of all ages and lifestyles are turning an admiring eye toward The Colony real estate.  What you may not notice about Austin Ranch, though, is that this remarkable development is surprisingly organic.

NATURAL ELEMENTS

Austin Ranch may not actually be a real, working ranch, but it certainly isn’t lacking in appreciation for nature.  During development of the real estate in The Colony, planners took great care to preserve most of the green space that was being developed.  A remarkable amount of trees line the streets and pathways of this mixed-use development, and there is no shortage of natural hiking trails, lakes and creeks.  The six pools within the community incorporate rock and flowing water, making them much more appealing than the typical community swimming hole.

A 200-acre nature preserve is complemented by nine additional park areas that maximize the Texas landscape within the development.  It’s almost as if the homes and apartments grew out of the green space rather than being built by human hands and machines.  In fact, you might get so absorbed in the natural elements that seeing the brand new pavement is almost alarming.

HUMAN ELEMENTS

Austin Ranch humanizes itself in interesting ways.  The three lodges and open areas encourage residents to interact with each other.  The community hosts social events on holidays and special occasions, and puts on fun activities like outdoor movies and football parties, casino nights and family breakfasts.

Among the sculptures and impeccable design of Austin Ranch, you will find function.  There’s no frivolous design here.  Even the fitness centers have an aesthetic appeal.

The human element also extends to guest suites for visitors of residents, on-site shopping and dining, and office space.  The developers intend for the future corporate sites to house more than 40,000 employees.  Pizza Inn’s corporate headquarters has already moved in. 

The apartments at Austin Ranch are complete and leasing, and single family homes are coming soon.  After all, it was built for humans.
