Cedarwood Launches Topaz at Light Farms Way in Celina

Cedarwood Companies has announced Topaz at Light Farms Way, a new 272-unit luxury apartment community set to rise in Celina, Texas — one of the fastest-growing cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The four-story building will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans designed for modern renters seeking a blend of comfort and convenience. Construction is being overseen by the firm's in-house general contractor, Tri-C Construction.

Inside, units will include open-concept layouts, nine-foot ceilings, chef-inspired kitchens with contemporary finishes, generous balconies, walk-in closets, and in-unit washers and dryers. Shared amenities are extensive: a grand clubhouse with a cybercafé, a resort-style pool with a firepit, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a dog park with a pet spa, a playground, walking trails, greenspaces, and outdoor gathering areas. The developer says the community is designed to offer a resort-style living experience.

Site preparation is nearly finished, and vertical construction is scheduled to begin shortly. Cedarwood expects to welcome the first residents in summer 2027. The company, a fully integrated real estate development, investment, construction, and property management firm, continues to expand its multifamily and retail commercial portfolio across the United States.

DFW Suburban Growth Fuels New Apartment Supply

Celina's Rapid Growth Draws Multifamily Developers

Celina has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, fueled by families and professionals seeking more space and relatively lower housing costs than central Dallas. That demographic shift has spurred a wave of new apartment construction, particularly in master-planned communities like Light Farms, where Topaz will be built. By delivering 272 luxury units, Cedarwood is betting that demand in the corridor remains robust even as other suburban nodes also add supply.

While no rental rates have been disclosed, the upscale finishes and resort-like amenities signal a target market of renters willing to pay a premium for location, design, and convenience. The project does not appear to face unusual regulatory hurdles, given its alignment with the city's growth objectives. For Cedarwood, it is a continuation of a strategy of investing in high-growth suburban markets where quality multifamily housing is in short supply.

What Future Renters Should Know About Topaz

  • Leasing timeline and pricing: Cedarwood has not yet released rental rates or begun leasing. Prospective renters should watch the company's website and leasing channels for updates as construction progresses. With move-ins slated for summer 2027, those planning a relocation to Celina or North Texas can use the expected opening date to time their housing search.
