Sic'EmBears Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sources: Chinese-based home goods retailer readying massive project in Frisco Auburn, NSW, AU (Signature PM) A Chinese manufacturer of building materials, hardware and home goods is readying plans to make way for a massive retail hub along the U.S. 380 corridor in Frisco, sources say. The real estate rumblings come after an affiliate of Lesso America Inc., a subsidiary of China Lesso Group Holdings Ltd., acquired two tracts of land totaling more than 76 acres in Frisco for a new mall development site in June 2016. Real estate sources say Lesso America is working on plans to build a multi-story retail center that would be a hybrid between an Ikea and a Home Depot with a focus on serving the growing North Texas suburbs. If developed, this could be one of the first Lesso Mall developments to appear in the United States. "There's no doubt there's a growing population in this part of the region that could handle a store like this," said Reimer, who works with numerous retailers searching for land sites for storefronts along the corridor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sic'EmBears Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Construction begins on new Texas-style hotel in Irving's Las Colinas Urban Center VBX Project Location Construction started on a new Texas-style hotel next to Irving's soon-to-be-built $113 million convention center hotel that will add nearly 150 hotel rooms in the Las Colinas Urban District. The Texas-style hotel will bring a "very cool concept" to North Texas unlike anything the region has seen before, said Michael Scheurich, CEO of Houston-based Arch-Con Corp., which designed the boutique hotel. "It's a concept modeled after the old motor court hotels of the 1950s, where you drive up to your room with your car," Scheurich told the Dallas Business Journal. "They created a resort and conference area that feels like you're walking into a resort when you go to this hotel," he added. Earlier this year, construction began on the 12-story, 350-room hotel, called the Westin Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas. The hotel is meant to complement the five-year-old convention center, which averages 305 events per year in the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Place Arlington will have 299 residential units. “This project had the potential to house 900 residents,” said Kritzman. “But as we worked with stakeholders and City leaders – including Mayor Williams, Council member Lana Wolff, and City Manager Trey Yelverton — we volunteered to lower the density to just over 700. It was important to the City, so it is important to us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Crystal Lagoons waterpark will make a splash in Prosper home community A Prosper home community will be getting a 5-acre Crystal Lagoon waterpark to help lure residents to the project. Windsong Ranch, located on U.S. Highway 380 west of the Dallas North Tollway, plans to build the water feature to create "a beach-style lifestyle" for residents in the 2,030-acre development. Windsong Ranch developer Terra Verde Group said Monday that construction of its Crystal Lagoon waterpark will start this winter and will be completed in early 2019. "This is a real game changer for us," said Craig Martin, founding partner of Terra Verde Group. "This will be the only one announced for a master planned residential community in North Texas. The lagoon will have watersports including boarding, windsurfing, sailing, diving, kayaking and swimming. "What you have when it is completed is something that really does look like a beach in the Virgin Islands," Martin said. "It has sandy beaches all down one side, and it doesn't have the feeling of a swimming pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sic'EmBears Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Why Louis Vuitton chose this ranch south of Fort Worth for a factory BusinessOfFashion Project Location Johnson County might not be known for high fashion, but that hasn’t stopped Paris-based luxury retailer Louis Vuitton from selecting the rural area south of Fort Worth for its third U.S. manufacturing plant. A large ranch just outside of Keene, about 28 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, has been purchased by Louis Vuitton for construction of a leather goods workshop to make luggage and purses. The facility is expected to be under construction by early next year and open by 2019, eventually employing up to 500 people, officials said. “Most of their manufacturing plants are in more isolated places,” Harmon said. “They call their employees artisans, and they like an area with a lot of serenity to it. They’re going to put a lot of glass in the building, so the workers will have a view of the land. It’s still going to stay a working ranch. They have exotic game now.” Louis Vuitton operates 17 workshops worldwide, including two in California. Most of the workshops are in Europe, a company official said. The Texas workshop probably will have fewer than 100 employees in the first year, with a gradual expansion to about 500 employees over several years, the official said. Construction of the Louis Vuitton plant is expected to cost about $20 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
