  • Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President
    2020 // Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President The historical events of 2020 have left an indelible impact on our community as the way we live and work dramatically changed in the blink of an eye. Disruption and adaption became the new normal as we navigated our way through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and a global recession. Despite the challenges, I am proud that the Las Colinas Association was able to remain a consistent presence and resource for our members. The LCA maintained uninterrupted services despite the need to make significant operational adjustments including many of our office staff working from home. Similarly, we advanced several projects that you will most certainly notice during 2021. As more residents than ever took the opportunity to explore the promenade, canals, and trail connections of the Urban Center, the LCA debuted the new Urban Center foot and bike patrol in December 2020. The new patrol will serve as ambassadors of Las Colinas for the Urban Center’s many visitors and residents as well as support the LCA’s traditional vehicular security. Additionally, the LCA secured an agreement with the City of Irving to install community wayfinding signage within the Urban Center. Signage for the program is currently in the manufacturing stage and we expect to begin placement by early summer 2021. While the pandemic delayed construction of the Paws Colinas dog park, a joint project between the City of Irving and the LCA, completion is anticipated in late spring 2021. The seven-acre dog park will feature separate sections for large and small breeds, shade, water facilities, and access to Campion Trail.

  • Founded in 1973 by Ben H. Carpenter, Las Colinas Is Known Worldwide for Its Upscale Quality and Uniqueness
    Media Contacts: Lori Sirmen | Communications Manager [email protected] 972-401-7723 Jan Sheehan | Tucker & Associates [email protected] 817-348-9490 PROFILE OF LAS COLINAS History and Vision: Founded in 1973 by Ben H. Carpenter, Las Colinas is known worldwide for its upscale quality and uniqueness. The 12,000-acre master-planned business and residential area is not a city in its own right, but actually a community located within the city limits of Irving, Texas. Until the early 1970s, Las Colinas was just prairie land on the Carpenter family’s Hackberry Creek Ranch. When Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened, it was the basis for Las Colinas. When Carpenter unveiled his vision for Las Colinas (Spanish for “the hills”) in 1973, nearly half of the area’s then-7,000 acres were devoted to recreation and educational facilities, with a 125-acre, man-made lake at its center (Lake Carolyn, named after Carpenter’s sister). The rest would go toward residence and business parks, all connected by public transportation. Residential areas were to be built in a way that would preserve the natural beauty of the landscape. The vision and concept behind Las Colinas has not been duplicated anywhere in the world. Strictly enforced deed restrictions, architectural controls and protective covenants have ensured Las Colinas quality growth. Location & Transportation: • Las Colinas is an eight-minute drive from DFW International Airport and 10 minutes from Dallas Love Field Airport. • The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Orange Line connects downtown Dallas to Las Colinas, and in 2014 extended service to DFW International Airport, marking DART’s first direct connection into the airport.
