An apartment building is going vertical near the DART / DCTA Trinity Mills Station in Carrollton as part of a $1 billion project that aims to catalyze development and improve connectivity in an increasingly urban part of the Metroplex. An apartment building is going vertical near Trinity Mills Station in Carrollton as part of a $1 billion project that aims to catalyze development and improve connectivity in an increasingly urban part of the Metroplex.
Groundbreaking occurred in December for the mixed-use community's first apartment building, called Eviva Trinity Mills. The $101 million project represents a partnership between public and private entities striving to create a walkable and transit-friendly district.
But the transformation started more than 20 years ago, when in 2003 the city of Carrollton bought 16 acres around Dickerson Parkway for future development. In 2021, the city teamed up with Dallas Area Rapid Transit, or DART, to build infrastructure for a project near the station that planned to blend residential, retail and restaurant space at the southeast corner of Interstate 35E and President George Bush Turnpike.
