Why the Canals at Grand Park in Frisco Matters. 


 

The Canals at Grand Park in Frisco 

The Canals at Grand Park in Frisco will primarily be a residential development. It will incorporate a multigenerational community concept with single family houses, a “Cadillac” senior-living facility, flats and townhomes. 

The more than $300 million dollar project is a master-planned community developed by Arcadia Realty Corp. and Charter Properties. 

  
Here are 5 Reasons why The Canals at Grand Park in Frisco matters. 

#1 Location

In real estate, location is number 1! With Grand Park finally starting to come together with its super close access to the Tollroad and all the conveniences you could imagine at Main and the Tollroad, there might not be a better location in Frisco! 

  
Arcadia originally bought 62 of the 152 acres of the property on Legacy in 2010, before development as a whole picked back up after the economic downturn of 2008. 

They realized they needed more property to make it happen and subsequently partnered with Charter Properties to form a larger community and make their vision ultimately come to fruition. 

The Canals at Grand Park, a multiple generation community, will be a first for Frisco and possibly all of North Texas! 

  
#2 Watermere – The “Cadillac” of Senior Living

For a long time Frisco has talked about the need for additional senior assisted living centers, and now the top of the line Watermere is underway. 

Yes, there have been some new assisted living complexes pop up but clearly not enough for the tremendous growth that Frisco has seen lately especially from relocations. 

  

Watermere has proven itself in Southlake! The property they have there is stunning in both architecture and service. What they plan for Frisco is equal if not better. It will be a 5 story building and beautiful when residents are coming or going. 

  
The choices that surround future residents of the Watermere at Frisco will be endless. Watermere plans to be dedicated to a hassle-free living environment in which residents can enjoy all the benefits of a safe, attractive community.

  

I personally think that residents will enjoy their independence with dignity, and allow them to “age in place” with different levels of services that they offer to assist with health progression. And having family members practically as a neighbor should make everything much easier! 

#3. Luxury Frisco Builders

Here is where I come into play! The builders that the developer has selected are ALL who I would recommend to friends and family. 

  
There are 5 different levels/areas and I will briefly explain the layout here, but will dive into detail when sales start. 

  The Northern Portion of the community is made up of 40 foot ,45 foot, and 55 foot wide lots.  This area will feature Villas and Townhomes

The Villas 

  Cambridge Homes

Cambridge Homes model is underway and is already showing the unique exterior and very well laid out floor plan than Cambridge Homes has proven for many years. I have always thought Cambridge Homes is one of the closest builders to a true custom home that you could choose. 

   
     Cambridge Homes offers open plans with unique structural options as you can see above. Currently Cambridge floorplans will be from 2,300 to 3,800 square feet and start pricing around the $400’s.

I love Cambridge and know that they will stand behind their product!  

Text or call me today at (469) 733-2723 and I will make sure you get one of the first appointments when they open up their pre sales for the community. 

  Darling Homes

Darling Homes is another name very well known here in Frisco and also well respected. They plan to use the same product that they have built at Austin Waters in Carrollton which they called “New Urbanism” and the community looks great! 

Townhomes

  CB JENI Homes

CB JENI Homes is a strange name for a builder, but for the owner Bruno, it means everything! Each letter is for him, his wife, and his kids! Very cool! And they definitely know how to build townhomes with their many developments and beautiful use of space in the units.  

 

CB Jeni in The Canals at Grand Park plan to start at 1,700 square feet and go up to 2,500 square feet and open sales in the high $200’s!

  The Southern Portion of The Canals at Grand Park will be the Manors and the Estate Homes. 

Manors

  Drees Homes

Drees Homes plan to build in the Manors and start at 2,500 square feet and go up to 4,800 square feet. Prices will be around the $550’s at the pre grand opening prices. 

Estate Homes 

  Southgate Homes

Southgate Homes is another builder I am a huge fan of. The owner Jay is super smart and has years of experience of delivering an amazing home. Mostly his homes are custom and the exteriors are unbelievable. 

Square foot starts at 3,200 square feet up to 5,000+ and pricing starts in the high $600’s. 

Southgate is a builder that will meet all your expectations exactly how you like them. 

#4. Amenities

  Plans are for two amenity centers with open areas, pools and a fitness center. See the sketches below.

   
  

 

#5. Water Features  

  YES! The Canals!

Real Canals that will give a very unique and beautiful feature every time you come home to your dream home!

INTRODUCING Windsong Ranch in Prosper, TX


20140102-152342.jpg

Windsong Ranch in Prosper, Texas will be a 2,030-acre master-planned development. The developer is Terra Verde Group and they are doing this right for Prosper.

20140102-152407.jpg
The Windsong Ranch location in Prosper is 2.5 miles West of the Tollroad and North of Highway 380. This acreage was previously the Mahard Egg Farm where hundreds of thousands of eggs were laid per day.

The elite group of builders for Windsong Ranch are currently David Weekley Homes, Chesmar Homes, Highland Homes, Darling Homes, Drees Homes, and Huntington Homes. The builders plan to offer homes that range from the mid $200’s up to the $750’s.

20140102-152455.jpg

Windsong Ranch also plans to include commercial and retail, single-family homes on a variety of lot sizes and town homes. It also is planning over 600 acres of natural green space, lakes, wooded creeks, parks, miles of hike and bike trails and expansive outdoor fields. Wow!

At buildout, Windsong Ranch will consist of 3,100 single-family residential lots and 150 acres of retail, office, shops and restaurants along Highway 380.

Windsong Ranch looks like it will be the largest residential community in the city of Prosper.

Prosper Growth

From 2000 to 2009, Frisco has grown 247 percent which was the fastest growing city in the nation for that decade. But Prosper has everything going for it to take over that spot for this next decade in terms of growth.

If you follow the Tollroad North, first it was Addison, then Plano, now Frisco and in the future it has to be Prosper. Major commercial developments like Frisco North and Jerry Jones development are kicking off at three corners of the Tollway and 380. For now, Windsong Ranch will most likely kick off the development on the West side of Prosper.

The Tollway dominates travel North and South in this area and adding Highway 380 which provides East and West access, Windsong Ranch is right where it needs to be to get a jump start on this new epicenter.

Prosper ISD has grown leaps and bounds in the past decade and they have their plans ready to accommodate the growth that everyone is expecting.

20140102-152719.jpg

Current plans for Windsong Ranch are a three-building amenity complex which will include a community cafe with a coffee shop with Wi-Fi, an Esplanade for community events, marketing center, outdoor covered gathering areas, a poolside pavilion with a fireplace, fitness center/exercise room, tennis courts, multiple play areas, lap pool and resort-style pool overlooking the lake with a splash park for the kids.

The first phase of Windsong Ranch will consist of 275 lots and the builders plan to start selling in early 2014. The Commons amenity center should be completed this April.

This is one exciting community!

Will Light Farms in Celina be the next Frisco?


20130827-171650.jpg

I attended a Drees Realtor event at the Light Farms information Center today and had one of the salespeople say, “Celina is the next Frisco!”

I smiled and told her that she has to be kidding!

20130827-171904.jpg

As I left I thought about what she said. There are a couple things that are happening in Celina that mirror Frisco about 10 years ago.

All of the farmers/land owners in Frisco were up in arms about letting developers in to create commercial and office buildings, but it happened.

Today, the Celina farmers/ land owners are doing the same thing! But developers like Republic Property Group, Blur Star and Matthews Southwest have big plans for the area.

The Tollroad north of 121 was a 2 lane highway in Frisco and the plans were to build it north. Look what happened.

Celina right now is set up the same way!

And lastly, I am sure you are wondering “what about Prosper?” Well it’s simple.

The land prices in Celina are not astronomical like in Prosper. Prosper is great, but developers like RPG cannot make it work in Prosper, but they can in Celina!

Just like they couldn’t make it work in Plano, but they could in Frisco!

20130827-173155.jpg

So who knows? It might be in 10 years, but NO ONE can see that far into real estate for sure.

But what we do know is the builders like Darling, American Legend, Drees, Shaddock, Highland and Lionsgate haven’t made too many mistakes lately, and they are in Celina at Light Farms.

20130827-173428.jpg

Call or text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more info on Light Farms in Celina.
