7-story apartment block will replace old offices on North Central Expressway

Developer Mill Creek Residential Trust has started work on its next Dallas project a 179-unit apartment complex on North Central Expressway.

The seven-story rental project is being built on the site of a two-story office building on North Central just south of Fitzhugh Avenue.

Weve already started demolition on the building, Darren Schackman, Mill Creek executive managing director, said Monday.

The apartment building, planned north of downtown Dallas, was designed by architect Hensley Lamkin Rachel Inc., which also did Mill Creeks Avenue H apartments under construction nearby at North Central and Hester Street.

Schackman said the 208-unit Avenue H project opens next month. We have had good early interest in it, he said.

The companys next development at North Central and Elizabeth Street wont be finished until the start of 2016.

Mill Creek is just about done with the 378-unit Arpeggio rental complex it built in Victory Park in partnership with Addison-based investor Behringer.

Its been extremely well-received and has leased up better than expected, Schackman said.

Mill Creek was formed in 2010 by former top officers of Trammell Crow Residential. Since then, the company has developed more than 12,300 apartment homes in 42 locations.
