How Texas Regulates Development

Development opportunity in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth region

Irving combines major corporate employment, established neighborhoods, transit access, airport proximity and large-scale master-planned development. Las Colinas, the Urban Center, established commercial corridors and redevelopment areas create opportunities ranging from office repositioning and mixed-use projects to multifamily, hospitality, industrial and technology-oriented development.

The City of Irving Planning Department administers land-use codes and ordinances, zoning, plats, future land use and related development review, while the Inspections Department handles building permits and commercial construction review. Irving’s Land Development Codes contain zoning and development standards, making early zoning and entitlement analysis important before a team commits to design or acquisition.

Irving-specific opportunities to watch

Las Colinas and the Urban Center: Irving’s nationally recognized business district creates continuing opportunities for office, residential, hospitality, entertainment and mixed-use projects, including redevelopment and repositioning of existing assets.

Heritage District redevelopment: the City describes the Heritage District as positioned for transformation, supported by streetscape investment, redevelopment initiatives, land banking and business-enhancement efforts. This can create opportunities for infill, adaptive reuse, housing, retail and neighborhood-serving development.

Commercial and employment-site reuse: Irving’s mature office and commercial inventory makes change-of-use, adaptive reuse, tenant improvements and site redevelopment especially relevant. These projects benefit from early review of use permissions, parking, site constraints, existing entitlements and building-code implications.
