Waterview Park Apartments, LLC is a self-managing entity established in
2002 on the campus of The University of Texas at Dallas. This community
spans 33 acres and consists of 696 units in two and three story garden-style
apartments offering students, faculty, and staff, a first-rate housing
experience. With 11 floorplans, an additional seven buildings containing
offices, study/activity centers and laundry facilities, along with a vast array of
features and amenities, Waterview Park truly defines on-campus
student-living.
Waterview Park’s history dates back to the mid-80’s when the university was
eager to build graduate student housing on campus and sought assistance
from experienced, Dallas-based development/construction/management
company, FirstWorthing. Within a short time, the first 200 units were
delivered for fall occupancy beginning in 1989. This was Phase I, and as the
university’s curriculum and programs expanded, so did demand for more
campus housing, accelerated by the acceptance of freshman and
sophomores in 1990. Subsequent phases were developed over a period of
fourteen years, totaling 1,237 units (3,954 beds) in nine phases. In
October of 2002, Phases I-IV (696 units / 1,140 beds) were sold to a
non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas for
the benefit of, but not controlled by the University. This marked the beginning
of Waterview Park Apartments, LLC. With an unsubordinated ground lease
and representatives of UTD on the non-profit’s board, students and others
associated with the university are assured that the University has the
opportunity to influence the rental, leasing, and operating polices of
housing situated on their campus.
Waterview Park’s experienced team is focused on delivering a safe, quality
housing experience to all that choose to make their home with us while
attending UT Dallas. The focus is not only on offering a comfortable home,
but on building community and enhancing the college experience.
