The financial crunch may have put the brakes on construction projects around the country. But plans are moving right along for residential development in the future DART station areas in Carrollton and Farmers Branch, city officials there said this week.

High Street Residential, a division of Trammell Crow, plans to break ground by late summer or early fall on a $40 million upscale apartment project near the downtown Carrollton station. Plans call for a mixed-use project featuring about 295 units in four buildings, with retail uses on the lower levels.

Construction is expected to start about the same time on a 300-unit apartment complex near the north Carrollton station at Frankford Road.

Meanwhile, the McDougal Cos., known for transforming a blighted area of Lubbock near Texas Tech University into a thriving residential and commercial district, plans to start construction early next year on upscale apartments near the Farmers Branch station.
