Background

About Michael Beaty

Michael Beaty is President of Mooreland Development a multi-discipline Land Development and Construction Company based in Dallas, TX. Founded in 2002, Mooreland Development and its related entities have closed, entitled, and developed over $280 million in property and buildings in the DFW Metroplex. Highlights of this work include 1900+ single-family lots developed on over 1400 acres of land in combination with planning and entitlement of 3600+ units of multi-family and 4m sq. ft. of vertically-integrated, mixed-use commercial and residential units. Vertical Construction Projects include 75 residences ranging from 800 sq. ft. starter homes that sold for up to carefully-crafted multi-million dollar homes on acreage estates. One of Mr. Beaty’s keys to success is the fostering of Public-Private Partnerships with the governing Municipality for each project. These partnerships range from Developer’s Agreements that include Impact Fee Waivers and direct Public Infrastructure Reimbursements to an all-encompassing Public-Private Infrastructure Finance package that typically includes the creation of a PID, TIF, TIRZ and/or an MMD. Through these Public-Private Partnerships, Mr. Beaty’s projects have been able to benefit from the availability of over $100m in Public-Private financing and reimbursements for public infrastructure including water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, paving, public parking and public park improvements. The underlying thesis of the previous 16 years for Mr. Beaty has been in the identification, study, and analysis of the best-of-market new development strategies that culminate in the current zoning documents being used in Westlake Entrada and CC Barisi. While at Virginia Tech, Michael Beaty’s PhD work was funded through a research grant from HUD. His Dissertation and research efforts involved an all-inclusive historical research of residential development and construction means & methods while looking for ways to industrialize the process.
