Sic'EmBears Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Start of lakeside project in popular Cypress Waters brings offices, apartments, retail Steve Brown July 7, 2016 Quote The project — called The Sound — is the most ambitious yet in Billingsley Co.'s 1,000-acre Cypress Waters community. A new office building, apartments and retail will be included in the first phase of the lakeside development north of LBJ Freeway near Belt Line Road. Quote The five-story, 250,000-square-foot office building was designed by architect Gensler with glass, natural wood and stone exteriors. Built on the south shore of 360-acre North Lake, the speculative office building will have outdoor arcades, seating areas and a dining area. The building at 3100 Olympus Blvd. is one of a handful of office projects planned surrounding the water. Dallas-based restaurant chain Brinker International is considering another office building planned for the lakeside complex as a potential headquarters location. The first phase of construction will also include about 500 apartments and several retail buildings facing the water. Quote Billingsley Co. is building a 217,000-square-foot speculative office building at 9111 Cypress Waters Blvd. that has several large lease proposals. Because of the success of that new building, the developer is ready to start work on The Sound project. "We feel good about starting the next spec building," Billingsley said. She said the first Sound office building, apartments and retail should be open by early 2018. It's just east of where Signet Jewelers-Zale will have its new regional office with two buildings on the lake. "Three years from now, we would hope to have four or five office buildings here, retail and 1,000-plus apartments on the lake," Billingsley said.

The property has been through three generations of the family. Quote The company said the land was appealing because of its location between Preston Road and Dallas North Tollway. Homes are expected to be priced between $350,000 and $425,000 and construction is slated to begin in September. Quote This isn't the first project in Celina that developers have been eyeing recently.

(NYSE: SCHW) plans to develop a new $100 million regional campus in Westlake, which will house 1,200 new jobs upon completion, confirming last week's Dallas Business Journal story about the move. "Texas remains the brightest beacon of free enterprise in the nation, and Charles Schwab's decision to expand its operations in North Texas is yet another testament to the Lone Star state's promising economic climate," said Governor Abbott, in a written statement. Quote The new $100 million, 500,000-square-foot campus will sit on a total of about 70 acres and will anchor a larger proposed Circle T mixed-use development, which will be developed in a partnership with Fort Worth-based Hillwood and The Howard Hughes Corp. of Dallas. Westlake plans to pony up an estimated $1.3 million in property tax abatement savings and sales tax refunds over a 10-year period based on estimated capital investment and job creation. Quote The new campus will give Charles Schwab room to expand beyond the 130,000-square-foot office in nearby Roanoke, which can accommodate about 500 employees. Quote A Charles Schwab spokeswoman said the firm is "just in the beginning stages of the process," but said the company hopes to break ground in the second half of 2017.

Hillwood, one of the region’s largest real estate developers, and The Howard Hughes Corp. announced plans Wednesday to move forward with a 130-acre mixed-use development that includes the $100 million Schwab campus at the intersection of Texas 114 and Texas 170 near the Westlake-Roanoke border. The project will include restaurants, retail shops, day care and a fitness center, said Mike Berry, president of Hillwood Properties, known for creating Alliance. It will also include residential areas and a 200-room hotel. Work at the site is expected to begin this fall and continue for several years, roughly following Schwab’s plan to open its campus by early 2019. Quote The main drive through the development will be dubbed Schwab Way, he said. Quote The new project will include more than 2 million square feet of mixed-use office, retail and entertainment space, comparable to Southlake Town Square about eight miles to the east. However, Berry said the Westlake development will likely have somewhat less retail than Southlake’s featured destination. Quote The architecture at the Westlake development will resemble the ranch/contemporary Hill Country designs seen at other public buildings in the city, including Westlake Academy, Deloitte University and the nearby Vaquero development. Land for parks, open space and creeks will also be integrated into the development, officials said in a press release. The initial work will include rebuilding Turner Lake to make way for both the Schwab campus and surrounding development.

Sic'EmBears Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Frisco’s Hall Park still growing two decades after the project start August 18, 2016 Steve Brown Quote And a new development plan — including another office tower — could increase the size of Hall Park more than 40 percent. "I think we have 1 million square feet more of potential building," developer Craig Hall said. "We can build for another seven to 10 years." During the next few months, Hall plans to start work on a 12-story office high-rise that will be the tallest yet for his Hall Park at Gaylord Parkway and the tollway. Quote Hall's planned tower at Warren Parkway and the tollway — near The Star in Frisco, the Dallas Cowboys' new headquarters — will be the 17th building in the project. Quote Hall said he's looking at long-term development plans that would replace parking lots and single-level garages with more office buildings. The parking would be housed in new multilevel structures. "Our plan is to not build on our green space," he said. "I plan to eventually build a 14- or 16-story office building at the south end of the park." Hall Group is doing a redesign of the entire campus, adding more outdoor features and tenant amenities such as retail and restaurants. "A third of the land at Hall Park is green space or water features," said Kim Butler, director of leasing at Hall Group. "We are enhancing our walking trails. "We are putting outdoor gathering places in two places adjacent to the lake," she said. "And everybody wants more food in the park." Quote Butler said the office buildings in Hall Park are more than 95 percent leased. That's why starting the next project is critical. Quote The 300,000-square-foot office tower will be designed by architect HKS, the same firm that did the last office project at Hall Park. That eight-story building opened in 2014 on Warren Parkway. "It will be similar to the building just finished, but we have added a few more bells and whistles," Butler said. " We felt the location [overlooking the tollway] warranted a building that size."

tigereye Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 More on the Rangers' Texas Live plans, including Rangers Republic, Live! Arena, and Arlington Backyard (lol) Even though it's a placeholder rendering, this seems to indicate the Rangers may be teasing a partial EFTE portion on the retractable roof (i.e. US Bank Stadium). With homeplate at new site likely to face due NE, the covered portion of roof would shade field from the sun, while the partial EFTE side would allow natural light in without impacting outfielders. Still, suburban ballparks suck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
