Dallas, Texas December 27, 2007 ---- Braden and Craig Power of Power Properties, Inc., announced today that plans have been approved and the green light given by the City of Dallas for a $1.2 million development project of new Bungalow style homes to be erected on Gaston and Glasgow Avenues in the Lakewood neighborhood of Dallas.

The homes will be constructed

in Santa Barbara style with all the amenities previously associated with Power Properties. This is the first new construction on Gaston Avenue to take place in over 20 years and follows many months of design and planning revisions made to satisfy the Dallas Planning Commission.

Although a departure for Power Properties, this new direction will allow the neighborhood to evolve in an architectural style that compliments the existing architectural aesthetic and surroundings. 'The challenge was working with several architects at one time so as to comply with the needs of the City and meeting Planning Development codes-, said Braden Power. 'It is an exciting project and points us in a new direction.- Craig Power confers. 'This is a major milestone for Power Properties, and one we see as a welcome challenge that is a natural progression for us.-

Construction is set to commence January, 2008.

Power Properties has been a contributing member of the East Dallas Business and Residential Community for close to 17 years. Previous Powers' properties were purchased in extremely dilapidated conditions and then dramatically restored, with renovations often including foundations, wiring, and plumbing as well as the important "visual" features. These properties, which include several historic landmarks, have come to be known for their architectural appeal and high quality features including hardwood floors, high ceilings, quality materials, unique fixtures, high-end appliances, attractive landscaping, and secure parking behind ornate electric gates.
