Expands with Dallas Deal: Houston Apartment Developer

In Dallas, Barvin, a real estate organization based in Houston, purchased the 324-unit Los Altos Trinity Green, formerly known as Alta Trinity Green apartments.

Barvin, led by Eric Barvin, has been expanding its multifamily portfolio. The firm recently started work on a 281-unit, five-story, wrap-style project near the corner of Knight Road and El Paseo near the Texas Medical Center in Houston.

Barvin’s Dallas purchase, now called the Los Altos Trinity Green apartments, is part of the large-scale planned, 24.8-acre Trinity Green development. Completed in 2019, the property consists of 270,794 rentable sq ft and offers studio-, one-, two- and three-bedroom units.

Barvin’s Dallas project has views of the landmark Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge over the Trinity River near downtown.

Located at 990 Singleton Blvd., Los Altos Trinity Green is positioned in the burgeoning West Dallas, a 10-minute drive from the city’s Central Business District. Downtown Dallas, a major employment hub with more than 2,500 companies and 30 million SF of office space that supports more than 135,000 jobs. Additionally, Los Altos Trinity Green is in proximity to nearly 600 dining and retail options, the city’s medical district and Dallas Love Field Airport.
