[IMGCAP(1)]ADDISON, TX-UDR Inc. tomorrow will break ground on the $1-billion Vitruvian Park, a mixed-use development with 5,500 residential units and up to one million sf of retail and office space. The build-out will be phased in through 2017.

The Highlands Ranch, CO-based REIT is beginning with 667 apartments, a 12-acre park, 36,000 sf of retail and 15,000 sf to 18,000 sf of office along Brookhaven Club Drive, where 21.5 acres are being scraped of the 382-unit Green Haven Apartments along with part of a 24-acre tract of the 360-unit Addison at Brookhaven at 4010 Brookhaven Club Dr. UDR has invested two years into amassing the 100-acre tract, containing nine multifamily complexes, and planning the project with Addison officials. It is the developer’s largest project in its 30-year history and the city’s largest sustainable green development.

Mark Culwell Jr., senior vice president of development for UDR Inc., says the second phase to the six-stage project is slated to start in 2009. Memphis-based Looney Ricks Kiss Architects Inc.’ Dallas team is designing a 500-unit expansion with about 40,000 sf of retail and an as-yet undetermined amount of office. Phase one was designed by WDG Architecture Inc. of Dallas. The general contractor is Andes Construction Co., also from Dallas.
