“THEY CAME FOR THE GOLD, THEY STAYED FOR ADVENTURE.”
EL DORADO IS NAMED TO RECALL THE HERITAGE
OF PROUD CONQUISTADORS WHOSE QUEST FOR GOLD
RESULTED IN THE CREATION OF SETTLEMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE LONE STAR STATE.
EL DORADO IS A MODERN TRIBUTE
TO THE LEGENDARY “CITY OF GOLD”
LOST IN THE WILDS OF THE AMERICAS;
A SETTLEMENT AMONGST THE TURBULENT
URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND INDUSTRIAL REMNANTS,
ACHIEVING GREATNESS
FOR THE CEDARS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE PIONEERING DESIGN CREATES A MIXED USE
BUSINESS HUB WITH A DIVERSE RESIDENTIAL CORE.
RESIDENCES, BUSINESSES, CULTURES, AND PUBLIC SPACES
ARE THE SEEDS OF SELF REJUVENATION.

and move into their career.

THE SITE BOUNDARIES URGE EL DORADO TO BE ENCLOSED,
YET INVITING. SITTING ADJACENT TO AND VISIBLE FROM
THE IMPRESSIVE DALLAS SKYLINE
THE COMFORTABLE EL DORADO INVITES DOWNTOWN DWELLERS
AND TOURISTS ALIKE INTO A CORNUCOPIA OF LOCAL ACTIVITY.
THE VILLAGE IS SELF SUSTAINING IN TERMS OF HOUSING,
TRANSPORTATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND SERVICES.
THE AREA IS ACCESSIBLE FROM THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT,
MULTIPLE FREEWAYS, AND DART STATIONS.
THERE IS A FOCUS ON THE LONG TERM HEALTH
OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ABUNDANT WALKING SPACES,
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION,
AND STRONG CONNECTIONS TO THE SURROUNDING FABRIC OF THE CITY.
EL DORADO IS IDEALLY SITUATED IN THE MIDST OF SEVERAL FUTURE
DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY
INCLUDING PROJECTS ON THE TRINITY RIVER AND THE “CANYON” CAP.
