Britain Way Apartments, located at 333 Lane St. in Irving, has reborn with a fresh rejuvenated appeal. Built in 1962, the original development structure had been noticeably deteriorating in recent years. It had limited amenities, 17 repetitive, monotonous buildings with dull colors and obsolete mansard roofs in dilapidated condition. There was poor on-site drainage and lighting, no perimeter fencing, and several city code violations were recorded in prior years. The Developer’s mission was to convert this dated project into a high quality, eco-friendly, modern, and affordable housing community for the citizens of Irving.
After the remodel was completed, enhanced features include visually pleasing facades using heavy stone accents and sloping roofs, and lush landscaping distributed throughout the site. Additional improvements include expanded kitchen areas with upgraded interior amenities and energy efficient appliances; second bathrooms added to select two- and three-bedroom units; a brand-new spacious clubhouse and community center was provided; pool and picnic areas and an on-site resident activities coordinator to lead an abundance of community services provided to residents at no extra cost. Strategic partnerships, with community-based organizations, local volunteer groups and non-profits offer lifestyle and learning activities such as arts and crafts and after-school reading and tutoring for children, computer classes, lifestyle enrichment classes, nutrition classes and aquatic activities for children and adults.
Britain Way is the first LEED Gold Certified affordable multifamily community in the city of Irving. LEED certification ensures the property will be healthier and safer for residents in addition to providing lower utility expenses, as well as, conserving energy and water. Obtaining LEED Gold Certification for a 60-year-old project was a herculean effort.
Further enhancing the project’s resident quality of life initiatives, the new, stylish Britain Way is designed per implementing “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” (CPTED) requirements. Among several other updates, the property was made safer by adding perimeter fencing and increasing lighting levels throughout the site.
