Sic'EmBears Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Frisco project will include huge fitness center, offices and retail Project Location A new mixed-use development on the works for Frisco will bring a huge fitness center plus office and retail buildings on the Dallas North Tollway. The 36-acre property located north of Main Street on the west side of the tollway was originally planned for a data center, said Lee McCormick with owner Patronus Land Development. Along with a 124,000-square-foot fitness center, the fitness chain is seeking zoning to build three office buildings and two restaurant and retail buildings, according to plans filed with Frisco. McCormick said Lifetime Fitness would sell the office and retail sites to other builders. A park area with walking trails would be built on the northwest corner of the property. The planned fitness facility would be one of the largest in North Texas for the Minnesota-based company which has nine locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Sic'EmBears Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hong Kong’s Lesso Group plans large shopping development along US 380 https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/city-county/2018/06/27/frisco-planning-and-zoning-approve-request-for-hong-kongs-lesso-group-plans-large-shopping-development-along-us-380/ Frisco's plan commission gives approval for massive shopping mall and mixed-use project Project Location Frisco's planning commission has given Chinese developers the go ahead to build a huge shopping and mixed-use development on the north side of the city. The 77-acre Lesso America development on U.S. Highway 380 will include a half million-square-foot shopping mall, a wholesale trade mart and high-rise office, hotel and some 1,200 apartments just west of the Dallas North Tollway. "The mall itself we are anticipating will be two levels. There might be a cinema on top or offices," said Joseph Pobiner with architect Gensler. "This is going to be a destination. There are only two others being built by Lesso in the U.S." Buildings as tall as 25 floors could be built in the project. "Because the mall sits up on top of the garage, it will be a promontory that is unique to the area," Pobiner said. "You won't walk through a sea of parking to get there." A street through the heart of the project will be lined with retail and restaurants. "This being on the city's northern edge, we thought a different type of architecture would help define Frisco's north side," said city planner Anthony Satarino. "The developers stated they wanted a more modern type of architecture." About 1,200 apartments or condominiums are planned mostly on the south side of the project in buildings ranging in height from seven to 18 stories. The developers would have to build the first-phase shopping mall before starting any residential. The project still must get final approval from Frisco's city council. Architects for the project said Lesso America is also planning a headquarters office on U.S. 380 as part of the development. "That building might be 10 stories," Pobiner said. "It might be taller."

"We are planning to have a very dynamic main street where retail and restaurants will be situated. The project name Monarch City comes from the butterflies.

Sic'EmBears Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 City Council approves funds for Grapevine Main community plaza Peace Circle Project Location At its meeting July 3, the Grapevine City Council unanimously acted to designate $895,000 to purchase decorative art for its new community plaza. The art, called the Peace Circle, will serve as the focal point of the plaza, which will be developed alongside the Grapevine Main TEXRail train station, the boutique Hotel Vin and parking garage.

Funding for the Peace Circle comes from the Public Art Fund and the Convention and Visitors Bureau Fund. Chief Financial Officer Greg Jordan specified that the Public Art Fund is not taxpayer dollars and comes from city agreements with cell companies. McCallum told city staff the installation will be thoroughly researched to be fully accurate in its design. The city will also seek approval by the Native American nations for the depiction, or leading national sources such as the National Museum of the American Indian, the Texas Historical Commission and the Oklahoma Historical Society, or a combination of these options. Grapevine Artist in Residence Linda Lewis will be the lead sculptor and several other sculptors will be engaged to assist in the completion of individual statues. Members of the American Indian Nations will also be invited to participate in the process. The project has an estimated completion date of May 2020.

Both offer and do things better than the other one. Both could learn a thing or two from each other. I find it very “Houston” to appear so insecure as to think a comparison of Dallas’ top ranking in growth to the next placed ranking, which just so happens to be Houston, as being so Dallas.
