“A place to practice”
“We have many, many little jewels in southern Dallas County,” said Monte Anderson, founder of Tyler Station and Grow DeSoto. “We have many special entrepreneurs who just need an entry point. They just need a lemonade stand, to stand in for a day. I was like that when I got into this business. I had to be on a stand in the street, selling real estate. I couldn’t go to school and learn it, and (to) do a business plan. I needed a place to practice.”
“This is not about real estate”
Another thing you notice: Quite a few of the tenants Anderson signs up are small, often minority-owned enterprises launched by people from the immediate area — and on shoestring budgets. As he describes the grassroots feel of Tyler Station, he pauses to add, “You get that this is not about real estate, right?”
“Although his primary focus is the prosperity and health of South Dallas, Monte Anderson’s heart beats for towns and neighborhoods across the nation that are underserved, impoverished, and forgotten, and he feels he has the solution for them.”
