Central Texas’ continued rapid growth has continued along the I-35 corridor south towards Waxahachie.  North Grove is a three-story mixed-use development situated in an area transitioning from a commercial corridor to a single-family residential neighborhood to the east.  The development provides an upper market rate residential offering with extensive amenities inside and out, organized around a central courtyard.  The architecture draws from utilizing native limestone and brick detailing found in early Texas architecture surrounding the historic center of Waxahachie to reinforce its sense of place.

Anchoring the northeast quadrant of the site, a shared plaza amenity for both residents of the development and the single-family homes provides a public amenity to further community.  The children’s splashpad and shared dog park are meant to create opportunities for people to gather and connect.
