Woodbine Development Corporation

Thank you and a shout-out to our own T. Dupree Scovell for his continued service to this important organization in our community.

Happy 2025! At Woodbine, we always have a lot of projects in the works, and this is one we’re particularly excited about: Embassy Suites Gulf Shores. The 257-suite resort is set to open at the start of Summer 2025 with a full set of amenities (among them, the beach). This drone footage was captured during our Q4 Topping Out celebration, and the photo in the comments shows some of the folks who are helping to bring this destination to life. Many thanks to our many partners on this project, among them: The City of Gulf Shores, Robins & Morton and Peachtree Group. Now, let’s go ahead and start the countdown to the grand opening … More details here:?https://lnkd.in/gSGZrsJx

In case you missed it, Woodbine Commercial, Woodbine Development and First United Bank are excited to be welcoming Gray Reed to 1845 Woodall Rogers fold! There’s no place like Uptown … the amenities, the walkability, the views and more. Thank you to Alexis Martinez of Woodbine Commercial and John Beach and Jay Magness of Newmark for their work on this lease (and for bringing us these new neighbors here at 1845).?#dallas #realestate

Thank you Dallas Business Journal for sharing the news about our almost 50,000 square foot lease with Gray Reed at 1845 Woodall Rodgers! This lease pushed our office building to over 95% occupancy! Awesome work by Woodbine Development Corporation and First United Bank. Thank you to the Newmark Team of John Beach and Jay Magness for their collaboration to make this happen.

Happy birthday to our Woodbine founder and coach, the one and only John Scovell! Here's to many more!

To our team, REACH isn't just a catchy acronym, it's the heart of our company culture and the foundation of the Woodbine way. This video tells the story of how this came to life for us. (Special thanks, Teague Hunter, for making the trip to Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa last summer to visit with T. Dupree Scovell.) ? RELATIONSHIPS: We believe strong relationships, both internal and external, are essential for collaboration and achieving common goals.? EFFORT: We value hard work, dedication, and the hustle it takes to get things done.? ACCOUNTABILITY: We hold ourselves and each other accountable for our actions and results. We learn from mistakes and strive for continuous improvement.? CONVICTION: We believe in our mission and approach, and we're passionate about making a difference.?We believe in a set of values that are uncompromised and come from THE source. HUMILITY: We celebrate success, but we also embrace learning and feedback. We're open to new ideas and perspectives.?Most importantly, we always strive to find the common ground.

If you haven't heard, Cosm is opening here in Dallas on 8.31. Here's what our own T. Dupree Scovell had to say about this destination after attending a preview event last weekend. (You can also check it out at https://www.cosm.com/!)

The man in the middle is none other than Willis Johnson and last night we got to celebrate his his 70th birthday (yes not a typo, even though he looks 50)! He’s been a friend of our family’s for a long time now. But more importantly, he is a mentor to many and a champion for change in Dallas. He and his better half, Sophia Johnson, were the architects behind the “Proposition A” campaign that I was involved in a few years ago (they did a masterful job, by the way). His son BJ Johnson and I played against each other in college and despite the Texas Tech v Texas rivalry, Woodbine Development Corporation is glad to be partners with JBJ Management in many different ways. Happy Birthday, “Coach”!!

My friend Christine Perez keeps the hits coming… great idea for a town that gives!

Woodbine Development Corporation is about creating places people want to be. That includes our projects, of course, but it also includes places like our home office and our hometown community of Dallas. The Dallas Morning News op-ed written by?J. Alvin Armstrong III, CEO of Builders of Hope Community Development Corporation?and the pastor of Community Fellowship Church, is a good word for all who call this city home. It spotlights the powerful opportunity we as Americans have to fight hate and division at the local level by leading with love and learning in our daily interactions with one another. Thank you, James, for reminding us that differing views don’t have to disrupt fellowship and collaboration – and how everyone can contribute to the ongoing work that brings about healing and justice to make North Texas and our world places people want to be. ? PS. Thank you for the shout out to T. Dupree Scovell.
