Grand Homes Reviews Surge in Development in Irving

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 12, 2013

Grand Homes reviews the market in the Dallas-Fort Worth area regularly to ensure that it is keeping up with the latest trends and developing in the right ways. As such, the company is up to date on some of the latest and most significant changes in the housing market in the state of Texas. A recent article published by NBC sheds light on one of these trends, as it explains the building boom that is taking place in Irving, a city just outside of Dallas. Here, a representative from Grand Homes weighs in on the surge in single-family homes that are being built in the area--and the efforts of Irving to revamp its image while attracting new businesses and professionals.

According to the article, Irving is striving to bring more jobs into its local economy while establishing the city as a place for professionals to both "work and play." As such, the area is busy constructing single-family homes for the professionals who are following new jobs into its borders, 3,400 of which have been established since last October. To accommodate the professionals who are moving into the area, a 14.7 percent increase in single-family homes has occurred since 2008. In total, this accounts for over 5,200 new homes--and, the article states, "the city approved plans to build 1,500 new single-family homes."

Grand Homes reviews the ways in which Irving has succeeded in its efforts to expand its population and believes that there are two key factors: the ability to maintain the jobs it has created and the ability to meet the various needs of homebuyers who are moving into the area. On the first front, the article explains that financial and other incentives have been leveraged to both create and keep the thousands of jobs that have been established within the city. On the second front, the Chamber of Commerce has worked to ensure that there is a diverse catalogue available for new residents who are looking to buy a home.

Don Williams, who is the director of economic development at the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce, states: "From the CEO to the newest entry level person in the company, we have everything from the low 100s to the million dollar plus homes."

A representative from Grand Homes asserts that the approach taken by the city of Irving is certainly one that is paying off--and that the ability to identify and meet homebuyers' needs is what, ultimately, will make this initiative a success. Grand Homes reviews many market trends and believes that this key activity is the one that allows development efforts to thrive.
