Since AMLI Residential first arrived in North Texas 35 years ago, the company has had a presence in the growing Addison and lower Tollway office market. However, the multi-family residential powerhouse recently expanded its North Texas footprint in Addison with both a larger office and a growing corporate team.
AMLI opted to remain at its current location, Liberty Plaza in Addison (5057 Keller Springs), but more than doubled its Addison regional headquarters from 6,601 sf to 13,214 sf when it moved from the second to the fourth floor in February. This larger footprint makes AMLI’s Addison office one of the larger regional headquarters behind its corporate headquarters in Chicago.
Taylor Bowen, President of AMLI Development Company, believes the relationship AMLI has with the Town of Addison is truly synergistic.
“We believe so strongly in the Town of Addison as a strategic location for North Texas that we not only office here but continue to develop apartment communities here,” Bowen said. “We love the community, restaurants, location, and all that the Town of Addison has to offer our employees and residents.”
The company has a growing project presence in Addison. Its first Addison apartment community, AMLI Addison with 349 apartment homes, opened in 2020. During 2023, AMLI broke ground on innovative, multi-use AMLI Treehouse, which not only brings a combination of 419 apartments and privately owned townhomes, but includes an impressive public park and trail extension. Leasing for AMLI Treehouse is anticipated to begin in fall 2025. Additionally, AMLI has been named the town’s partner for the upcoming Transit Oriented Development that will anchor the new DART Silver Line rail project.
AMLI’s larger Addison office makes room for its growth from 15 employees in 2023 to 35 today, with plans to increase to 40 or more by mid-2024. This expansion is due in large part to a national centralization strategy designed to support property operations through a new Resident Services department that will enhance the leasing experience for both current and prospective residents.
“Our primary goal in building our new Resident Services Group is to provide more time for our on-site teams to focus on providing an outstanding living environment for our residents,” explained Traci Hall, President of the West Region for AMLI Management Company.
AMLI has worked with the Town of Addison and both its planning and economic development teams to create a strong foothold in the community.
“AMLI’s expansion of its offices in Addison and involvement in the forthcoming Transit Oriented Development signifies a substantial investment in our Town’s commercial sector,” explained Wayne Emerson, Director of Economic Development for the Town of Addison. "Additionally, AMLI's development of residential projects like AMLI Addison and AMLI Treehouse highlights Addison as an ideal place to call home for today's workforce."
AMLI anticipates its eventual employment at the Addison regional headquarters will exceed 50 professionals, which will be a combination of relocations and new hires.
