Neighborhood Knock-Outs: These Midway Hollow Specs Exemplify Contemporary Cool

by
No Comments

This spec home by Avant Group at 3759 Juniper in Midway Hollow is already pending.

It’s impossible not to notice the plethora of exceptional contemporaries in Midway Hollow — and the Iconic Real Estate signs in front of them. Each exemplifies the CandysDirt.com-approved builder’s trademark style: homes that are sleek and modern, yet at the same time, warm and inviting.

Heaven Porteous

“Our aesthetic leans toward minimalism and a mix of materials,” says designer Heaven Porteous. “The Avant Group specializes at blending functionality with high design. We let the houses speak for themselves.”

It’s clear the strategy is working. Since launching in 2015 with just three spec homes, custom builds now represent a majority of the group’s business. 

“Our profile is to make modern houses affordable,” says Porteous. According to the company’s 2019 Custom Home Pricing guide, construction costs range from $165 to $185 per square foot (based on home size with standard equipment and finishes). “Our cost-to-build beats all our competitors.”

How do they do it? Solid contractor and vendor relationships are key. So is offering a full-service in-house team that includes Porteous; big-picture visionary Chris Jent; award-winning custom builder and Certified Green Professional Louis Howell; and Iconic Real Estate owner and company founder Matthew Scobee.

“The feedback we get is how much smoother the process is when we walk through the entire design/build with clients,” says the Avant Group designer.

Diversity Is Key for this Award-Winning Dallas Builder

by
1 Comment

This custom build for a commercial architect took plenty of skill and finesse, says Kevin Key of Key Residential.

Listening to owner Kevin Key talk about his eponymous company, the term that comes to mind is “renaissance man.” With over 25 years of experience in the homebuilding/remodeling business, the portfolio of this CandysDirt.com Approved Builder encompasses multiple genres.

From traditional to contemporary, rustic to transitional, the one factor that unites them all is Key’s commitment to quality — a time-tested mix of craftmanship, purpose, and style.

“We don’t want to get pigeon-holed into one specific type of house. Our point of difference is that we can do any type of project.” Another plus is the opportunity to work with Dallas’ top architects, trade partners, and interior designers. From beginning to end, it’s a collaborative effort. “The ultimate goal is to make our homeowners’ vision come to life.”

Avant Group Brings Fresh Ideas to Bolivar Listing

by
No Comments

When I first saw The Avant Group‘s latest completed Midway Hollow home, I was fascinated. The small-batch builder does a fantastic job of building homes that feel so much more expensive than their sub-$1 million prices, with fantastic finish-out and smart home packages that add so much value to their contemporary aesthetic. But this new build at 3758 Bolivar is somewhat of a departure from the massing and shape of their other builds. And I’m smitten. 

Of course, we’d expect nothing less than a home that’s easy to fall for and, of course, easy to live in, from The Avant Group, a CandysDirt.com Approved Builder. But this house? It’s something of a departure for The Avant Group, who listened to buyers about what they wanted. The results speak for themselves.

S&R Development Builds Preston Hollow Success Story

by
No Comments

We have more proof that CandysDirt.com Approved Builder S & R Development Inc. can build and sell a home faster than we can write about them. This Preston Hollow house went on the market and was under contract in under ten days.

“There were several on the market at the same time. But this was the only one that sold right away,” said Saad Chehabi, principal at S&R Development.

The 4,800-square-foot home comes with two master bedrooms downstairs, three bedrooms upstairs, a separate gym room, elevator, and storage on both the upstairs and downstairs levels. Priced just under $2 million, it had everything a buyer could want. Even though the home now has residents living in it, we managed to wrangle a few photographs so you can see some of the impressive work the builders did.
