NEW PROJECT ALERT! Build-To-Rent Townhomes

We’re excited to share that our team has been awarded architectural services on the Capella Park Build to Rent Townhouse community in Dallas, TX!

This residential community marks the first of a three phase development, launching with 47 two-story Build-to-Rent (BTR) townhomes. Envisioned as workforce housing, Capella Park aims to complement and strengthen the surrounding neighborhood—providing high-quality, attainable living options in a growing market. Appropriately sized two story homes with rear loaded garages create a walkable pedestrian friendly community with strong curb appeal.

The development team approach focused on:
• Smart density and efficient land use
• Livable, modern townhome design layouts
• Integration with the existing community fabric

The design contract was officially awarded last month, and our team targets early summer permitting, keeping momentum strong as we move toward construction.

We’re proud to collaborate with such a talented group to bring this vision to life—delivering both high quality design services and meaningful housing impact.

This past Saturday (3/7), our team was proud to support the mission of affordable housing with dignity for all at the 23rd annual Habitat for Humanity of Chester County Build a House…Build a Dream Contest!

Each year, 5th grade students from across Delaware Valley step into the role of designers—creating their own house concepts while learning about architecture, community, and the importance of safe, affordable housing.

The children are provided only two rules, a maximum 3'x3' base size, and to be 100% creative! The students present their creation to a series of judges and explain their concepts, interests, and decision making.

Events like this are a powerful reminder that design can inspire the next generation while supporting a mission that truly matters. Habitat for Humanity’s work continues to create opportunities for families through stable, attainable housing and stronger communities.

We were honored to contribute to the event, with Principal Dan McCauley participating as an industry judge alongside other professionals helping evaluate the students’ thoughtful and creative designs.

Congratulations to all the young designers who participated. Your ideas, creativity, and passion for community made the day truly inspiring. 👏🏠

And to the amazing staff at Habitat for Humanity, thank you for the dedication in creating and running such an impactful event, and the work you do in your mission!!

From early concepts to nearly complete construction, it’s always rewarding to see design take physical form. The Locke Landing Clubhouse in Baltimore, MD is coming together beautifully as part of the Locke Insulator community.

The Locke Insulator community, developed by 28 Walker Development in partnership with Greystar Apartments, DRB Homes, and K. Hovnanian Homes, are providing approximately 800 new housing units within the city of Baltimore.

🏘️ Townhomes & “2-over-2” units: ~389 total for-sale units
• 297 traditional townhomes
• 92 stacked “2-over-2” townhouse/condo units
🏢 Apartments: 420 rental units in two Greystar-built buildings.

🏗️ The 3,500 SF clubhouse, designed by The Martin Architectural Group will serve as the H.O.A. hub and amenity space for residents and both home builders—bringing community, functionality, and thoughtful design under one roof, and anchoring the neighborhood. Our team blended elements of the urban residential design styles for this modern spin on a traditional building function.
