Lawler Park begins “The Arbor”


"The Arbor"

The Grand Arbor beginning at The Arbor at Lawler Park.

One of the most unique/clever entry feature to a neighborhood is being built where Carlson Drive dead ends at Grand Arbor Lane in Frisco.

It plans to be the largest Arbor that will not only provide shade, but also create a very unique feel considering the name of this section is The Arbor at Lawler Park.

“The Arbor at Lawler Park will feature 65 feet wide lots being built by Darling Homes and Highland Homes. Prices will start in the high $300’s for the pre-sale prices and won’t stay there long.”

The demand for information on Lawler Park has been record breaking for a “so-called” bad market. My guess is that after a month of pre-sales, there will be a minimum of 20 sales!

But back to The Arbor, residents will easily be able to navigate visitors with a large Arbor visible in the air!

Lawler Park gears up for Models . . . But don’t wait!!!


Darling Homes

This is Darling Homes Model in Star Creek in Allen.

Today I received a quick e-mail from the Lawler Park developer Dale Clark and he said that the plans are for the model homes for Darling and Highland Homes to begin in August 2012.

This is inline with the plans that both builders have told me as well. So in October you will be able to take a walk through and see what you can actually buy!!!

This is one thing that I have learned through the years that is more human instinct than anything.

Buyers buy what they see!

When someone walks into a completed home and they hear that the price has been reduced $20,000, not only are they happy with the actual home and the amenities but they are also happy with the deal! And this leads me to the words in the title, “But don’t wait.”

Here’s why.

In new developments, builders have to make sure their plans fit on the lots, the materials they use pass city code and many, many other issues unforeseen with deed restrictions etc. it’s not easy.

All that being said, builders know that they have to get homes up in the community so buyers can see progress and feel more comfortable to look into building. So what’s the hurry then?

That is simple . . . MONEY!

“Those first couple homes, builders shrink their margins for the buyers that are intelligent enough to take advantage of the pre-sell prices!”

And there is proof in Richwoods, south of Lawler Park, that just opened in March 2012. After selling close to 72 homes in a couple months, the prices in the higher price point are close to $18,000 higher!!!

So if you are 100% that you want to live in a new home community, buy at Pre-sell, and thank me later.

Lawler Park to start Pre-Sell soon


Darling Homes and Highland Homes are very close to starting Pre-Selling lots for the highly anticipated Lawler Park.

Plans are still right now in the planning stage and should be complete soon. Normally, builders use plans from other community when the lots are the same size but I do know that Darling and Highland are working on a couple new plans for Lawler Park.

I will be in touch with everyone that requests more info for Lawler Park in Frisco when the plans come out to see if you would like to set up an appointment when the plans come out.

All prices will be released a couple weeks after the plans and only people on the list will be contacted first as a Pre-Sell due to the large response that has happened since 2011.

Call Brad Holden if you would like me to put you on the list to be contacted to discuss Lawler Park when the time comes at (469) 733-2723.

Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco will be Pre-Selling in July 2012


 

Phillips Creek Ranch

A View from the Future Amenity Center at Phillips Creek Ranch

The highly anticipated Frisco Phillips Creek Ranch Development will be pre-selling in mid July.

From the information on the signs around the 950 acre community plans were to open in Fall of 2012, but builders in the community tell me they are way ahead of schedule. The developer Republic Property Group has never rushed their timing since they acquired the highly sought after West Frisco dirt and have kept on schedule.

This almost never happens with developments, especially ones with over 3,700 homes at build-out!  Richwoods in Frisco Texas had plans to Open in January 2012 and they ended opening in March 2012.   Phillips Creek will include 9 of DFW’s finest builders: Darling Homes, Highland Homes, K Hovnanian Homes, Huntington Homes, Shaddock Homes, Standard Pacific Homes, LionsGate Homes, Belclaire Homes and Drees Homes.

Within phase one of Phillips Creek Ranch, the lots will range from 55 feet wide up to 83 feet wide and starting with prices from the high $300′s up to 2 Million dollar estate homes. Quite a significant difference in type of home, but it all looks like it can and will work very well. And if you are looking for variety, you have come to the right place.  Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco is ideal  with nine unique builders!

The Lawler Park development will have a total of 348 lots in all, while Phase one of Phillips Creek ranch will consist 314 lots!  I am also sure that if anyone with small children are planning to live in Phillips Creek Ranch, Phase one will be the only phase of PCR that residents will attend the Blue Ribbon Elementary School Bledsoe. Bledsoe is very well-known in Frisco ISD as the top of its class when it comes to teaching and number of outstanding academic achievements.

Phillips Creek Ranch will be the only development in North Dallas and Frisco to have what many in Lantana are raving about. I would like to announce the beginning of the future of new home developments. Phillips Creek Ranch will have monthly dues of $175. Yes, $175.

What?  That is way too much. Not really.

From the many years of experience selling real estate with Holden New Homes, both pre-owned and new home buyers were very clear with what is needed and not just wanted.  These two necessities are “feeling safe at home” and to “make things easier with maintaining the home”. The HOA fee will include, front and side yard maintenance and a monitored security system 24 hours a day on each home! So forget about Yard maintenance (Avg. $100/mth) and home security for your home(Avg. $50/mth) then that leaves you a fee of $25 to pay for common area maintenance, resort-style pool and swimming lane pool, fitness center, open air pavilion, welcome center, on site HOA and 3 miles of hike and bike trails! Wow now that just makes sense for new home owners.

And this is just in the beginning. The developer has spent millions on this community already and there is much more to come. Please take a peek at this video update of Phillips Creek Ranch below:

Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco Phase 1


Phillips Creek Ranch Development

Phillips Creek Ranch plans to build homes from the high $300’s to the $750’s.

Things are really moving at Phillips Creek Ranch in anticipation for the pre-grand opening.

Phase 1’s first neighborhood will be named Sheridan.  Plans are to include two state of the art playgrounds. The first will be a beautiful natural playground and will be incorporated into the neighborhood park along with many seating areas and open space. The second will be a in a large amenity center on the top of Vista Park with a more traditional playground as well as fitness center and pools in the park.

Phase 1 will consist of lots ranging from 55′ wide x 115′ deep to 83′ wide x 130′ deep. The home builders that have currently been annouced for Phase 1 include:

55’s – Highland Homes & Lionsgate Homes

65’s – Darling Homes & K Hovnanian

65’s – American Classic Series – Darling Homes

74’s – Shaddock Homes & Drees Homes

Lawler Park in Frisco to have two sections


The Arbors of Lawler Park plans to have 64 foot wide lots.

Lawler Park in Frisco is almost ready for the models to break ground. Both Darling Homes and Highland Homes plan to begin their models soon and be complete by October 2012.  But both have decided that the development will be split up into two sections, The Arbors of Lawler Park and The Crossing of Lawler Park.

The Arbors of Lawler Park is slated to have both Highland and Darling to build a 64 foot wide home that has a smaller yard, but in a fantastic location with the upscale features that Highland and Darling are known for.  The prices plan to be in the high $300’s up to the mid $450’s.

The Crossing at Lawler Park plans to be on larger lots, ranging from 75 feet wide a minimum with some oversized lots in the high 90 feet wide range.  Both builders will be building and prices will start standard at $450 and go up from there.

The Crossing at Lawler Park will feature 75 feet wide lots here.

Lawler Park will be located just North of Richwoods, but the main differences are as follows.  Richwoods will be gated and Lawler Park will not be gated.  Lawler Park will have more mature trees and have a creek on the northern border where Richwoods has plans of extensive landscaping throughout the community.  Richwoods will have a $10 million dollar amenity center with a resort style pool, work-out facility and banquet room and Lawler has plans of a Pool and smaller clubhouse.

I could go on and on with the differences, but it is a personal preference for anyone that is considering these two locations.  Feel free to call me directly at (469) 733-2723 if you would like more information on either community or questions regarding timing, plans, pricing etc.
