Former SMU Football Player to Build Apartments, Retail Space in Southern Dallas

08/03/22

A former college football player, now a residential investor and developer, has his eyes on the potential growth of southern Dallas with plans for a walkable mixed-use community.

Onu Ventures Inc., a development firm founded by Mikial Onu late last year, bought 12 acres along Interstate 20 at Bonnie View Road and Riverside Road in July to build an apartment complex and a small retail center. Plans call for 252 apartments, including studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. The community will include amenities such as a pool, a jogging trail, a dog park, a clubhouse and a fitness center.

“I saw it an opportunity to impact an area that needs it,” Onu said. He is aiming the project toward young professionals who would otherwise move out to the suburbs with the rising cost of living in the city of Dallas. “Being along [Interstates] 45 and 20, there are not many places in Dallas you can’t reach.”
