DALLAS (CBS 11 News) - Hundreds of people gathered in Preston Hollow Park this Saturday, for a rally in opposition to a new apartment development plan.

Developer Transwestern is proposing to build a multi-story luxury apartment building at the northeast corner of Northwest Highway and Preston Road.

Condos and apartments are currently located at the busy intersection.

The 12 people who own the Town House Row community that faces Preston have decided to sell, and picked Transwestern as the potential buyer and developer.

We went through many, many developers and think we picked the best one for the property, said Pamela Smith.

Transwestern has drawn up plans for a complex that would include more than 200 apartment units and stand six stories at the tallest level.

When neighbors in the Preston Hollow East neighborhood got word of the project, Homeowners Association President Ashley Parks says,they became concerned with the scope of the development.

Its the traffic. When Preston and Northwest Highway are clogged, people will cut through the streets where we live, where we walk our dogs, take our strollers, Parks Said. Were really concerned about that because there are times when it is already backed up that someone will go 50 mph through our neighborhood.
