Urban Reserve will be Dallas's first low-impact development. We are committed to sustainable architecture, which uses less of our natural resources and causes little or no harm to the world around it and to those within it.

Development will retain the existing topography

  • Design guidelines will require houses to be 20% more energy efficient than current code requirement

  • Front yards and common areas will be planted with native and adaptive, low-water-use plants

  • Irrigation will be accomplished with rainwater runoff stored on site in ponds

  • Rain gardens will filter runoff from streets

  • 22-foot-wide street will minimize impervious pavement

  • Close access to DART line and White Rock Trail will facilitate alternative use of transportation
