Frisco Market Center, a 100-acre mixed-use development located in the heart of Frisco at the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Main Street, announced today that Zoë’s Kitchen, Super Chix and Snappy Salad will join the development as the latest retail tenants.  The three restaurants are under construction and will open later this year.

Kirk Hermansen, partner at Hermansen Development, the developer for Frisco Market Center, said there is only one remaining space available for lease in the $300 million development.  It is a 3,505 square foot end cap with patio on the hard corner of Main Street and Dallas North Tollway.

“This is our last lease space and except for one additional pad site for sale or lease on the Dallas North Tollway, the project is nearly complete.  With all of the construction underway, we expect to reach build out within the next couple of years,” said Hermansen.  “We’ll have more exciting announcements in the near future that will really complete our vision for this property.” 

Frisco Market Center is anchored by Main Event and LA Fitness and sits adjacent to Toyota Stadium, a 25,000 capacity outdoor arena, Frisco City Hall and the recently announced National Soccer Hall of Fame Museum.  Emerson Court, the second phase of its luxury urban apartment community located within the development, recently broke ground and will be complete in about 18 months.  Emerson Court will have 312 units and was designed to complement the very successful first phase, Emerson at Frisco Market Center, which is fully occupied and has 410 units. 

Earlier this year, a major grocery store purchased approximately 19 acres of land along the eastern portion of Frisco Market Center for a future 100,000 + square-foot grocery operation.  A hotel developer has also purchased another six acres for a future hotel in addition to the planned 150-room Courtyard by Marriott, expected to open in late 2017.

Upon completion, Frisco Market Center will include nearly 500,000 square feet of entertainment, restaurants and retail, approximately 250 hotel rooms and over 1,500 residents on site. The roster of tenants already in place includes Pei Wei Asian Diner; Panera Bread; Rockfish Seafood Kitchen; Pie Five Pizza Co.; Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes; FedEx Office; Floyd’s Barbershop; Ideal Dental; Simply Fit Foods; Freebirds World Burrito; Cowboy Chicken; Smoothie King; IHop; and 54^th Street Grill.

Over 450 parents, school leaders and Windsong residents celebrated the Ribbon Cutting of Windsong Ranch Elementary School, Prosper ISD's sixth elementary school, on Sunday August 14, 2016.  The school, located at 800 Copper Canyon Drive, is in the Cadence neighborhood of Windsong Ranch and is the first within the development.

"We are thrilled to welcome Windsong Ranch Elementary to the neighborhood just in time for back-to-school,” said Craig Martin, Founding Partner of Terra Verde Group, the developer of Windsong Ranch. “I’m so excited for the first day of school when our students can walk and bike safely to school for the first time. This building is beautiful and we are equally excited about building a long-term partnership with Prosper ISD as we work together to provide a first-class educational environment,” said Martin.

This is the first elementary school to be built on the west side of the Tollway in Prosper to serve the burgeoning student population and will house 700-750 students.  It is also the first elementary in Prosper to house K-5^th grade in one building.  Terra Verde Group donated the land and $4 million for the construction of the school.  The community is slated to have another elementary school and a middle school within Prosper ISD, which is one of the highest ranked school districts in the state of Texas.

"We are very excited about the opening of Windsong Ranch Elementary School,” said Drew Wilkins, Superintendent of Prosper ISD.  “This project would not have been possible without the amazing partnership between the developers and the ISD.  This marks the first of several schools in the Windsong development and we look forward to this continued partnership moving forward."

During the ceremony, Prosper ISD School Board President Daniel Jones said, "Without (Terra Verde's) contribution to the school I can honestly say we would not be standing here today."

The school was designed by Huckabee Architects and Pogue Construction is the General Contractor.

Immediately following the ceremony, Windsong Ranch hosted a Back-to-School BBQ for teachers, students, parents and faculty at the Windsong Ranch Commons featuring swimming, music and food trucks.

Allegiant Realty Partners announces the Grand Opening of their newest master-planned community in North Texas, ArrowBrooke. This brand new community will offer some of the most affordably priced homes within the Highway 380 corridor. ArrowBrooke will feature new model homes and a community lifestyle center, dubbed “The Gathering Place.”

“The 380 corridor is one of the hottest new home markets in North Texas,” said Larry Taylor, Managing Partner. “ArrowBrooke is a carefully crafted master-planned community tucked perfectly away, off of Highway 380, on FM 1385. It will be one of most affordable master-planned developments in the 380 corridor and is a great option for out of state and local homebuyers.” 

ArrowBrooke is a 410-acre community located in the rolling hills of Denton County which will contain 1,750 lots at completion. Less than 10 miles north of the new Toyota Headquarters, downtown Frisco and a host of other shopping, dining, and employment hubs, ArrowBrooke is well positioned as a great option for North Texas homebuyers—with homes starting in the $200s. ArrowBrooke was intentionally designed to maintain a small town charm and provide a lifestyle-driven community that connects residents to the outdoors and engages families, friends and neighbors through first class amenities, efficient home designs and community events. 

The Gathering Place at ArrowBrooke is a private amenity center design decked-out with a beach-entry, resort-style pool, a children’s splash pad and Spray Park, and a covered event pavilion adorned with everything a resident needs for an outdoor party. The ‘gathering’ theme is carried throughout the master plan with an abundance of open green spaces, pocket parks, hike and bike trails and string of connected lakes.

New model homes will be on display by some of the area’s most prominent homebuilders—Beazer Homes, HistoryMaker Homes and Horizon Homes. These quality home crafters will offer almost 30 new home designs on 50- and 60-foot lots, all from the $200s. ArrowBrooke homes will feature one- and two-story designs with flexible living and dining spaces, open concept designs, outdoor living and the highest standards in energy efficiency.

From Dallas, interested buyers can take the Dallas North Tollway north to Highway 380 and go west 4.5 miles to FM 1385 (Holt Avenue). Turn right (north) onto FM 1385, then left onto ArrowBrooke Avenue, left onto Broken Arrow and right on Settlement Way. Model homes are open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Visit www.ArrowBrooke.com for more information.

Allegiant Realty Partners (ARP) (www.allegiantrealtypartners.com) is a partnership between two well-established regional developers, Siepiela Interests, LLC (www.siepiela.com) and Taylor Duncan Interests, LLC (www.taylorduncan.com). The two entities joined forces to form ARP in June 2013 and currently have six master-planned communities under development with four projects in the Austin market and two projects in the Dallas market. These projects represent nearly 2,500 acres under development with a total of 5,500 lots serving many of the top private and public homebuilders in these markets.

Windsong Ranch announced today it will host the Second Annual Wings Over Windsong, one of the largest radio controlled aircraft events ever seen in the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Saturday, June 4, 2016.  The event will feature 100 model aviation planes ranging from WWII, WWI, sport, 3D, pattern, electric aircraft as well as helicopters. 

“Spectators come from all across North Texas to see this unique RC air show,” said Craig Martin, Developer of Windsong Ranch.  “This is signature community event for Windsong and something the whole family can enjoy.  We had hundreds in attendance last year and expect it to keep growing every year.”

With proceeds going to MD Anderson Cancer Research, the AMA Sanctioned event is a joint effort by the Richardson, North Dallas and Rowlett Radio Control Clubs.  The three clubs have memberships totaling over 500 members. Industry experts predict this event could eventually challenge Joe Nall, an air show in South Carolina which is currently the largest gathering of RC pilots at one event any where in the world.

The Wings Over Windsong event is from 10 am-2 pm, Saturday, June 4 at Windsong Ranch, 1001 Windsong Parkway, Prosper, TX 75078.  Admission is free but donations are encouraged at the entry for MD Anderson Cancer Research.  More information can be found at WindsongRanchLiving.com/wings.
