The Nostalgia of Main Street Charm

3/14/2024

Thirty minutes from Dallas' bustling urban center and it overpowering sprawl, this mixed-use development is recreating the nostalgia of small town Main Street.

Located near the Midlothian core within Hwy 287 Loop, MidTowne is a Sustainable Community with nostalgic Main Street architectural vernacular that addresses the social needs for interaction with a mix of uses, services, convenient dining and shopping, while providing interesting driving and walking opportunities. The physical design addresses street edges, views, and connection with open spaces. The development is known as something of a reimagined Main Street, symbolizing small business and everyday hard-working citizens. The MidTowne residential core continues to grow, as Phases 8, 9 and  10 are currently under construction, providing a variety of cottage-sized to estate-sized homes with historic charm not typically seen in new builds.  

Thrasher Works is taking on the latest commercial development located at the corner of George Hopper and S. 14th Street. With parking tucked behind the street facades, the two small buildings fill out the corner with retail/office square footage to be inhabited by multiple tenants. Still in the early design phase, we're hopeful this project finds it's way into reality.
