JPI presented Jefferson Center, a 360-home luxury multi-family community situated in the Richardson submarket north of Dallas near the intersection of President George Bush Turnpike and Custer Parkway.

“The Richardson submarket has been one of the fastest growing in terms of job growth and business expansion,” said Matt Brendel, JPI development partner. “Our apartment homes are available for lease as major corporate development is bringing thousands of new jobs to the area.”

LP-JeffCen10.7.14-60-995cdf88fc0babc72e5894b69f02d1a9Located at 955 West President George Bush Highway, Jefferson Center was constructed on a 30-acre site near the University of Texas at Dallas and fewer than two miles from CityLine, the new mixed-use development under construction that will be anchored by the offices of State Farm Insurance and Raytheon.

The community has a variety of luxury amenities including a resort-style pool, grilling and cabana areas, a coffee bar, two clubrooms, beach volleyball courts, an event lawn with an outdoor movie theater, a dog park, playgrounds and two state-of-the-art fitness centers (one dedicated to yoga, CrossFit and Fitness on Demand). The apartment homes vary from one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 650 to more than 1,500 square feet. Units showcase granite countertops, stylized hardwood flooring throughout the living areas, kitchens and baths, stainless steel appliances, garages, private yards and full-size washers and dryers.
