The Dallas luxury real estate market is buzzing with anticipation for a truly groundbreaking development: Ltd. Edition 2505 Turtle Creek. This exceptional project by Great Gulf is poised to redefine high-end urban living, and the excitement is palpable. With construction fences reportedly going up and the official groundbreaking scheduled shortly after the New Year, the transformation of the Turtle Creek landscape is just around the corner. Ltd. Edition 2505 promises to deliver an unparalleled fusion of architectural mastery, bespoke luxury, and a prestigious location, setting a new benchmark for sophisticated residences in Dallas.
Great Gulf, the esteemed Toronto-based developer, is renowned for its commitment to delivering projects of extraordinary caliber. Their work consistently transcends mere construction, evolving into architectural statements that reflect meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality. From the visionary conceptualization by world-renowned starchitect Siamak Hariri to the thoughtful execution of every facet, the entire endeavor embodies a “Class Act” experience. Hariri, whose passionate vision is bringing this project to life, expresses an infectious enthusiasm, underscoring that Ltd. Edition 2505 is more than a development—it is a legacy in the making, destined to become an iconic landmark on the Dallas skyline.
The highly anticipated news has arrived: official sales for Ltd. Edition 2505 Turtle Creek will commence this Saturday. Contracts have been meticulously prepared, and the Homeowners Association (HOA) documents are now finalized, marking a significant step forward for eager prospective buyers. Christopher Wein, the President of Great Gulf, perfectly articulates the project’s unique appeal: “Discerning Dallas buyers looking for an alternative to the traditional low-rise estate home will find it here.” This statement directly addresses a growing desire within the Dallas luxury market for high-rise residences that offer the expansive space, exclusive privacy, and rich amenities typically associated with sprawling, single-family estates, without compromise.
The project’s location on Turtle Creek is, without question, one of its most compelling attributes. Turtle Creek Boulevard symbolizes prestige and natural beauty in Dallas, offering lush greenways, serene waterscapes, and immediate access to the city’s vibrant cultural and culinary scenes. The views from this privileged vantage point are truly unparalleled, a fact delightfully illustrated by a recent personal account: “I was at a dinner party a week ago on Turtle Creek and we just supped on the magnificent view of downtown for several minutes.” This sentiment resonates deeply with Katye Sloan, who, alongside Jeffrey Lester, leads the Briggs-Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty team marketing Ltd. Edition 2505. Sloan succinctly emphasizes, “The site is really the strongest amenity,” highlighting how the inherent beauty and prime positioning elevate the living experience to an extraordinary, almost sublime, level.
This magnificent $225 million development is a testament to visionary design and meticulous, long-term planning. Great Gulf has been diligently refining plans for this site since acquiring the land in 2008, showcasing their unwavering commitment to excellence and a profound understanding of the Dallas luxury market. The architectural design is a marvel of modern elegance, featuring a gracefully curvaceous exterior crafted from light gray masonry and expansive glass. This thoughtful aesthetic not only contributes to its striking visual appeal but also maximizes natural light throughout the residences and optimizes the breathtaking panoramic views, allowing the building to harmoniously integrate with its esteemed surroundings rather than merely dominating the landscape.
Ltd. Edition 2505 boldly redefines luxury residences by offering not conventional condominiums, but “estates in the sky.” These vertical mansions are meticulously designed to provide the grandeur, spaciousness, and exclusivity of a traditional estate home within an elevated, high-rise setting. Each residence boasts an impressive average of 3,800 square feet of living space, making them significantly larger than any other condo previously built in Dallas. This generous allocation of space directly caters to the well-known Dallas preference for expansive homes, a characteristic keenly understood by the developers. The interiors are a showcase of uncompromising luxury, featuring soaring ten-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of openness, vast private terraces that seamlessly extend living areas outdoors, exquisite hardwood flooring throughout, and sophisticated double-sided fireplaces that imbue the living spaces with both warmth and an undeniable touch of refinement.
A distinctive advantage of the project’s pre-construction phase is the unique opportunity for extensive customization, a highly desirable feature for discerning buyers. Katye Sloan emphasizes this unparalleled flexibility: “This is a very good time to buy, pre-construction, it is possible for people to come in and put units together—or easily make changes to the floorplans.” This adaptability is particularly appealing to buyers who are accustomed to tailoring their homes to their precise specifications and lifestyle needs. Intriguingly, among the initial five interested parties—comprising four couples and one individual—all but one expressed a desire to combine units on the lower floors. This allows for the creation of even grander, more expansive homes that perfectly suit their desire for significant square footage, a common preference in Dallas where residents often transition from large single-family homes but are unwilling to compromise on space when opting for vertical living.
Indeed, Dallas maintains a strong affinity for generous living spaces; the adage “Dallas just doesn’t do ‘small’ well” truly resonates. Residents consistently seek ample room for both daily living and sophisticated entertaining. The foresight to offer the option of merging units during the construction phase is an intelligent response to this fundamental market characteristic. While originally envisioned to house 100 residences, the high likelihood of unit combinations suggests that the building may ultimately comprise fewer, but substantially larger, bespoke units. This strategic approach ensures that Ltd. Edition 2505 genuinely delivers on its promise of “vertical mansions,” providing an unparalleled living experience meticulously tailored to the elevated desires of its exclusive clientele.
Siamak Hariri provided further insights into the refined design elements incorporated during the working drawings stage, ensuring the project’s grand vision is fully realized. He revealed, “The lobby experience has been expanded and made more lush,” signaling an enhanced sense of arrival and opulence. The front landscaping has also undergone significant expansion, contributing to an exquisitely welcoming entrance. Hariri described a beautiful, cobblestoned drive extending from Turtle Creek, leading to four exquisitely tailored motorcourts, all gracefully enveloped by lush, meticulously planned landscaping. His aspiration for the lobby is to create a distinct “sense of arrival” – a moment of sheer awe, “a huge ‘ah ha!'” – defined by a sophisticated European sensibility. This magnificent space will offer captivating glimpses from every angle of the vast, expansive gardens, meticulously designed to distinguish this project from any other in Dallas. Even the building’s sophisticated bar will feature serene garden views, underscoring how the architecture is conceived to seamlessly extend into and embrace the natural beauty of its prestigious surroundings.
Hariri further elaborated on this intrinsic integration, stating, “The whole lobby expands right through and to the gardens. As it does in any luxurious, gorgeous estate.” This design philosophy ensures that residents experience a harmonious and flowing blend of indoor luxury and outdoor serenity. A notable evolution from the initial design involved relocating the garden to the first floor, a deliberate and ingenious choice by Siamak to create the illusion that the lobby itself is an organic extension of these verdant outdoor spaces. Despite some design adjustments to optimize the layout, the private terraces remain the largest in Dallas. While the developers strategically increased the number of units on floors 2 to 13 from four to six, which slightly adjusted the individual terrace sizes, residents will still luxuriate in between 350 to 450 square feet of private outdoor space – a truly exceptional amenity in any high-rise. From floors 13 to 20, exclusivity is paramount, with only four homes per floor, culminating in two magnificent penthouses gracing the 19th and 20th floors. The smallest unit, a thoughtfully appointed one-bedroom, offers approximately 1,700 square feet, while the penthouses redefine opulence with over 6,000 square feet of interior space, complemented by sprawling terraces spanning up to 1,200 square feet.
Privacy and seamless convenience are paramount at Ltd. Edition 2505. Each floor will feature small, elegantly appointed elevator lobbies, with two dedicated elevators serving the south side of the building and two for the north. A deliberate refinement from earlier plans, elevators will now open into these private lobbies rather than directly into individual units, significantly enhancing both security and the exclusive residential experience for all occupants.
To help prospective buyers visualize the project’s unique aesthetic and inherent value, Siamak Hariri offered an insightful analogy that illuminated his profound design philosophy. He declared, “This will truly be the new luxury address in Dallas for some time. It will have just enough of a signature to be recognizable. I believe true luxury knows when to hold back.” He drew a compelling parallel to the revered Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth, describing it as “one of the most confident buildings in the world, and amazing in its simplicity.” This emphasis on understated elegance and profoundly thoughtful design, prioritizing enduring quality over ostentation, is central to Hariri’s vision. He assured that his design embodies a refined restraint, ensuring the building will not “shout at us” but rather command a quiet, powerful presence. “The building is on Turtle Creek Boulevard,” he reiterated, “we have to be solid.” This unwavering commitment to a timeless, substantial structure reinforces the project’s enduring appeal and status as a hallmark of luxury.
Prospective buyers will find that the pricing reflects the unparalleled luxury, bespoke design, and prime location of these exceptional residences. The average price per square foot for floors 2 through 13 is set at approximately $799, while the more exclusive and elevated floors, from 14 and up, will command around $1,000 per square foot, reflecting their enhanced views and heightened prestige. To assist in creating their ultimate dream home, buyers are invited to select from four exquisite palettes of finishes, encompassing a meticulously curated range of premium stones, fine woods, and luxurious marbles. These sophisticated selections are all beautifully showcased at the dedicated Ltd. Edition Sales Center located on Cedar Springs, allowing buyers to fully immerse themselves in the quality and aesthetic options available for their future “estate in the sky.” Ltd. Edition 2505 Turtle Creek is not merely constructing homes; it is meticulously crafting a lasting legacy of elevated luxury living in the heart of Dallas.
