At David Bagwell Company, we think of our residential development business in the same context art gallery owners view theirs. We do not create the beautiful artwork that hangs on the gallery walls. It is created by fine homebuilders who lead a collaborative effort of designers, suppliers, and a vetted group of subcontractors. As gallery owners cooperate with artists they represent, we work with fine homebuilders to maintain high aesthetic standards and seek appreciation of home values in our neighborhoods. Also as gallery owners do, we create a beautiful setting in which to display builders’ art.

Our idealized developments in northwest Colleyville clearly reflect this approach. Designs reprise popular historic styles that are authenticated in the selection of materials and fixtures and in the details that embellish each home. An architectural control committee with expertise in design, building, and landscaping of fine homes creates and enforces aesthetic guidelines to achieve homes that by their enduring character and evocative appeal give each neighborhood a unique “sense of place”. This “sense of place,” or nostalgic feeling created by the profound aspects of where a person lives, is intensified by our numerous neighborhood defining features. These amenities include lush and abundant landscaping, liberal planting of large specimen trees in yards and common areas, natural lakes and waterways, walks and trails, playgrounds, pavilions, and other immediately identifiable landmarks.

We believe today's homebuyer is keenly interested in living where a sense of community and shared identity flourishes and that homeowners who enjoy close relations ensure neighborhood vitality.That’s why we strive to create neighborhoods that connect residents and enrich their living experience.
