Huffines Communities, located outside of Dallas, TX, is always searching for unique properties on which to build their developments. Located less than 30 miles northeast of Dallas, in the town of Wylie, Huffines is building a new community spanning 593 acres and has features that are not normally seen in Dallas. “The land itself was naturally beautiful and unique,” said Elvio Bruni, president of Huffines Communities. “It’s not another flat piece of land you normally see around Dallas. It has gorgeous rolling hills that provide for a unique design.”

One of the biggest challenges when designing the community was constructing the gateway in such a way to block the view of the powerlines, as well as figuring out how to incorporate it into the 30 to 35 acres of open space. “How do you make something dramatic, to scale, that will stand out?,” said Bruni. “There is so much land, so much space, that something small would get swallowed up. Bigger is not always better, but bigger was better on this larger-scoped community.”
