New Dallas Cowboys Facility Stadium in Frisco to be named “The STAR”!


20130813-212352.jpg

The press conference today in Frisco with the Dallas Cowboys was a very eventful time.

And how fitting the new practice facility/stadium will be named “BLUE STAR STADIUM”!

I’m sure we will have Blue Star Park and Blue Star Lane and Blue Star Cafe before they get here by 2016.

I’m not complaining, it’s just funny.

The Master Development Agreement Details for the Dallas Cowboys in Frisco


20130812-172652.jpg

The Master Development Agreement that was presented tonight at the special called city council meeting to go over all of the details regarding the plan for the 91.645 acres at the northwest corner of Warren Parkway and the Dallas North Tollroad.

20130812-173635.jpg

The property has been owned by the Frisco Community Development Corporation since December 2010.

20130812-174354.jpg

The property is located adjacent to the Frisco Station site which is the blue box below. The red box is the 91.645 acres for the joint venture.

20130812-174607.jpg

Blue Star will be the developer, (not Hines Development out of Houston) and they have tremendous experience in development. Of the property, the domed stadium will take up around 34% of the 91.645 acres. The other 66% will be purchased by Blue Star not used for sports facilities and corporate Headquarters for a private development mixed used tract.

A Tax Increment Financing Zone (TIFZ) will be formed on a Mixed Use Tract which plans to fund $20 million for a structured public parking facility.

20130812-175257.jpg

The Project Financing is above. Very shocking if you ask me. It looks as though the taxes WILL NOT go up regarding this project!

One of the council members stated at the end:

“And we welcome the Jones family to Frisco!”

And Mayor Maso is all smiles with positive energy after every response.

Way to go FRISCO!!!! Go Cowboys!!!!

Dallas Cowboys sign markers are up at Frisco Station


20130812-133707.jpg

It’s exciting!

Two sign markers go up the same day that the City of Frisco is meeting to approve a Dallas Cowboys Headquarters and a practice facility.

Hmmmmmm?!?

20130812-133937.jpg

My guess is “Frisco Station – New home of the World Champion Dallas Cowboys – Coming 2016”.
But I could be wrong. (Highly Unlikely!)

Considering there is a party tent 50 yards away!!!!

20130812-134227.jpg

More to come. Stay Tuned!

Dallas Cowboys move to Frisco to be ANNOUNCED tomorrow at Frisco City Hall


The Dallas Cowboys new Headquarters and Practice Facility will be announced tomorrow at Frisco City Hall.

20130811-235800.jpg

I was made aware that 3 consecutive City of Frisco meetings are scheduled for Monday at Frisco City Hall, outlined as follows:

20130812-000049.jpg

At 4:30pm, first is with the Frisco Community Development Corp. Here the agenda that is set behind closed doors for the FCDC to meet with legal counsel to first discuss the lease, sell or exchange of land at Warren and the North Dallas Tollroad.

The City of Frisco owns 90 acres of the 317 projected Frisco Station project and they have to decide what makes the most sense for the city.

The agenda then plans to discuss the terms of the deal publicly between the City of Frisco, Blue Star Stadium, Inc., Blue Star HQ, Inc., Blue Star Frisco, LP.

“HMMMMMM, that Blue Star name sure does ring a bell doesn’t it?!?”

20130812-000807.jpg

At 5:00pm the Frisco City Council will hold a meeting to “consider and act upon” a “Master Planned Development” at Warren and the Tollroad. “Hmmmm?!?”

Then the agenda states that they will also “consider and act upon” an approval of the Frisco Economic Development Corporation and the Frisco Community Development Corporation to execute and deliver agreement regarding the development.

And lastly, they plan to “consider and act upon” the expenditure of funds necessary for the FEDC and FCDC to fulfill obligations for the Master Planned Development.

20130812-001517.jpg

And finally at 5:30pm, the Frisco Economic Development Corporation will meet to “consider and act upon” Master Planned Development for the facilities.

Then hopefully “consider and act upon” a performance agreement between Blue Star HQ and FEDC.

Even the Frisco Independent School District has released that they plan to have a special meeting on Monday at 6:45pm to discuss the “master planned development”.

“Which we all know is Frisco Station!”

But wait, there’s more.

The initial plan is for the Cowboys to share a domed stadium (like the one below, just a domed stadium!) with FISD that will serve as the Cowboys indoor practice facility and host Frisco high school football games!

20130812-012250.jpg

Now I will believe NFL players sharing with High Schoolers when I see it.

After the Monday meetings, i’m sure that The City of Frisco and Jerry Jones will hold a big press conference on Tuesday at the Frisco Station site to discuss specifics. It just sounds like Jerry right?

The Cowboys and FISD will split the cost for a domed stadium that will seat around 12,000 fans for games and can hold up to 22,000 for concerts and other events.

The Frisco ISD high school football games will be played on Thursday and Friday nights. I don’t know any school district with an indoor stadium!?

There are currently six schools in the Frisco ISD. Independence High School will be added in 2014 and an eighth called Reddy High School in 2015. Currently Frisco ISD only uses Memorial Stadium and FC Dallas Stadium.

I’m guessing this decision is based on the addition of the two new high schools. I’m sure, they would have to build another stadium for all of the High School games so why not get the big boys out here and share it like they do with FC Dallas? Makes sense to me.

20130812-002759.jpg

If you didn’t believe me the first time, believe me now!

My contacts were right!

Lets all welcome the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters and new Practice Facility to Frisco tomorrow in 2016!

Build a California Home in Texas?


20130808-222206.jpg

Do you love the look of California neighborhoods and streets but you would prefer to live in Texas? Well look no further because I have a community that WILL make this happen in Frisco, Texas.

Enter Latera.

20130808-222508.jpg

Latera is located on Preston and Eldorado in Frisco. The 6 lanes on Preston have been completed all the way to Prosper. This is not country anymore.

Toll Brothers in Latera has just released Phase 2 lots for sale, but the streets are not even done. The developer for Latera has a difficult job ahead of him because these lots are all on the side of a hill.

20130808-222818.jpg

20130808-222844.jpg

It is very hard to tell by the pics above, but all three streets in phase two slope downward identical to the California neighborhoods that are build in a valley or a mountain.

20130808-223011.jpg

Latera is already filled with some magnificent homes that give the community character and luxury.

20130808-223113.jpg

Many are former model homes from custom builders that entered Latera way before its time.

The one thing I do know is this phase in Latera will be the most prestigious section of Latera and considering the landscape will most likely be the most unique in DFW.

20130808-223321.jpg

Everything about Latera including the grand entrance with the guard gate, the mature trees that the developer was able to save and adding Toll Brothers to the mix, will make it one of the most sought after communities in Frisco.

20130808-223500.jpg

If you want to be a part of Latera you need to act fast. The phase is already 1/3 sold out since last Friday. And don’t miss out on my 4% Total Rebate for my clients that use me as their realtor when they contract on a new Toll Brothers home.
