Groundbreaking Celebration for Palladium Buckner Station in Southeast Dallas!
On October 2, 2025, Palladium USA officially broke ground on Palladium Buckner Station, a $107 million mixed-income apartment community located in Southeast Dallas, adjacent to the Buckner DART Station. The event marked a major milestone in the delivery of 304 new apartment homes designed to meet the growing housing needs of Dallas residents.
The ceremony was held at 401 S. Buckner Boulevard, where local leaders, stakeholders, and members of the development team gathered to celebrate the start of construction. Attendees viewed architectural renderings, enjoyed refreshments, and heard remarks from project partners and elected officials.
A Transit-Oriented Community Built for Growth
Palladium Buckner Station sits on 6.72 acres and is designed as a four-story, wrap-style community with a range of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes. Of the 304 units, 244 will be affordable housing, reserved for households earning 60% of the area median income (AMI), while 60 units will serve workforce households at 140% AMI. The community also includes 30 three-bedroom, two-story townhomes that expand family-sized housing options in the area.
With its location directly next to the Buckner DART light rail station and easy access to Highway 175 (C.F. Hawn Freeway), the community will offer residents seamless connections to jobs, education, and services throughout Dallas.
Modern Amenities and Community Design
Palladium Buckner Station will feature high-quality unit finishes and a robust slate of amenities, including:
- Resort-style swimming pool
- State-of-the-art fitness center
- Business and conference centers
- 1,600 square-foot community room
- Children’s playroom
- Basketball court and playground
- Grilling stations under covered gazebos
- Landscaped public pedestrian promenade
Each apartment home will offer upgraded interior features such as granite countertops, nine-foot ceilings, private balconies or terraces, dual sinks in primary bathrooms, and wood-style flooring.
Strong Partnerships, Lasting Impact
The groundbreaking reflects a successful collaboration between public and private partners. The project is being financed through a combination of tax credit equity, HUD-insured loans, City of Dallas funding, and tax-exempt bonds. Partners include the City of Dallas, Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Regions Bank, Walker & Dunlop, ARRIVE Architecture Group, BBL Building Company, and Operation Community Care.
“Construction has started, and we are proud to break ground on this transformational community, which reflects Palladium USA’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, mixed-income housing in Dallas and for the surrounding community. The property will deliver 304 thoughtfully designed homes with convenient access to the Buckner DART Station,” said Tom Huth, President and CEO of Palladium USA.
“This isn’t just about building new housing; it’s about giving more Dallas families a stable place to call home. With Palladium Buckner Station, we’re creating high-quality, affordable homes that are directly connected to public transit. That means hardworking people will have an easier time getting to their jobs, schools, and everything else they need, which is a big win for our community,” says Kim Parker, Executive Director of Development and Site Selection for Palladium USA.

Construction is now underway, with pre-leasing expected to begin in Fall 2026. The clubhouse and first apartment homes will be delivered in early 2027, and the full community is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
