Mill Creek Residential Breaks Ground on Modera at The Hill
On September 25, 2025, Mill Creek Residential announced the groundbreaking of its latest project, Modera at The Hill, a modern mixed-use community located in the heart of a bustling shopping center in North Dallas. This development promises to bring new residential options and retail opportunities to the area by integrating luxury living within a vibrant lifestyle hub.
Project Overview
Modera at The Hill is set to stand eight stories tall, encompassing
387 residential homes and an impressive
12,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. This new community will be strategically situated where the established neighborhoods of Preston Hollow, North Dallas, and Lake Highlands converge. Mill Creek Residential aims to position this project as a key addition to The Hill, a refreshed open-air retail center that has seen significant enhancements over the past decade, including new restaurants and boutique shopping.
Chad Boyette, the Vice President of Development for Mill Creek in Dallas, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, "We're excited to break ground on Modera at The Hill, which represents a rare opportunity to seamlessly integrate luxury living into a well-established, open-air lifestyle center in a sought-after area. We're confident that the combination of unique amenities and the variety of walkable retail will attract immediate interest."
