Holt Lunsford Commercial (HLC) launched HL Communities, a vertically integrated multifamily development and construction company, alongside the commencement of its most recent project, The Renegade.
The Renegade is a Class-A, 4-story, 120,000-square-foot multifamily development with 104 units at 260 W. Mulberry St. in the core urban district of Denton, Texas. Construction began in February 2025 with project delivery anticipated for Q2 2026.
The Renegade will feature a resident clubhouse, premium fitness facility, dedicated quiet study areas, pet recreation area, and landscaped courtyard spaces, all within walking distance of Denton’s Historic Downtown Square. The development benefits from superior connectivity, positioned within a one-mile radius of The University of North Texas, Texas Women’s University, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and Rayzor Ranch, with direct access to Interstate 35 East and West corridors.
The strategic location will provide residents with immediate access to educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail destinations while offering the advantages of downtown living. The development’s proximity to major employment centers and academic institutions, combined with its comprehensive amenities, will position The Renegade as the premier residential option for discerning renters in Denton.
The Renegade marks the official launch of HL Communities, the multifamily development and construction arm of HLC. HL Communities operates as a fully integrated platform, leveraging proprietary development and construction capabilities to deliver exceptional residential communities while maintaining the core values and strategic vision of HLC.
Tapping into HLC’s three decades of development experience across the Texas Triangle, HL Communities leverages a proven construction methodology that focuses on operational efficiency and cost optimization, creating significant value at every stage of the development process.
HL Communities operates three distinct product lines: Infill Boutique communities like The Renegade for urban centers, Suburban Garden-Style developments adjacent to major job generators, and Suburban Wrap projects offering high-density living around structured parking and amenity-rich courtyards.
Archon Corporation of Grapevine is serving as the project architect and design consultant. HL Communities, alongside Colo Development Partners, is providing comprehensive construction management and development services, with Harmony Bank as the construction lender. Leasing and management services will be handled by Westwood Residential.
