Edgewood in Frisco Update

May7

Edgewood in Frisco is picking up steam from the development side! The streets are going in now and the developer did an absolutely amazing job of keeping as many of the large mature trees as possible!

Edgewood is located in Frisco with the highly sought after Frisco schools. Currently the school zoning is below:

Schools

Frisco ISD

McSpedden Elementary School

Lawler Middle School

Centennial High School

Edgewood is 123 acres and nestled between the existing communities of Lawler Park and Cypress Creek.

Location is ideal and only about a 4 minute drive to 121! The builders currently are Southgate Homes, Toll Brothers, Meritage Homes, M/I Homes and Normandy Homes.

Lot sizes in Edgewood will be 55 foot wide, 65 foot wide and 74 foot wide. There are some irregular lots as well that will vary in size.

In my opinion the first street on the right is the best location in the neighborhood considering it’s a Cul-de-sac, location in the neighborhood and a couple treed lots that will side to a creek!

Lexington in Frisco Amenity Center Plans

Apr28

Lexington in Frisco has submitted its plans for the Amenity Center. 

It looks very similar to Richwoods but not on as large of a scale. The building square footage is around 7,823. The pool will consist of 8 cabanas total in sets of 4 and a small kiddie pool with some slight covering. 

The pool almost has an identical shape of Richwoods but not as large. There are also plans of an outdoor shower with multiple covered patios and lots and lots of landscaping. 


Things are moving right along with the development and each builder has a different time schedule for pre sales, so that part is very up in the air until the development gets closer to being complete.  

Builders for Lexington plan to be Shaddock Homes, Toll Brothers Homes, John R. Landon Homes and K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV). 

For more on Lexington in Frisco or to be made aware when the VIP pre sales begin, text of call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

Lexington in Frisco UPDATE regarding K Hovnanian Homes, Landon Homes, Toll Brothers Homes, Shaddock Homes and John R Landon Homes

Apr4

Lexington in Frisco, the newest Gated community in Frisco, is well underway. Streets are graded, a portion of retaining walls are up and there is constant activity on the community so they look right on schedule. This will be a new Richwoods!

 

 
Plans are different for each builder, but I expect the first sales trailers to drop July or August from the development stage. 

Lexington is going to be an amazing Gated community with some of the top builders like K Hovnanian Homes, Landon Homes, Toll Brothers Homes, Shaddock Homes and John R. Landon homes.

  
Call or text Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 for more on Lexington in Frisco or any of the builders I mentioned above.

ANNOUNCING Lexington in Frisco – A New Gated Community with Shaddock Homes, K Hovnanian Homes (KHOV), Toll Brothers Homes and Landon Signature Series Homes

Sep2

 Lexington will be developed by Landon Development, the powerhouse developer behind Richwoods in Frisco off Of Independence. Landon acquired the approximate 173 acres earlier this year and have already submitted preliminary plats for Lexington with the city of Frisco. 

   

At the City of Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on April 28th, 2015, the preliminary plat was being discussed concerning Phases 1-6. Commission members Bobby Roberts (Vice Chairperson) and Kevin Hodes (Commissioner) both voiced their concern on the majority North and South facing lots. 

They were disappointed wanting more appeal with “curvy” streets. But the developer had a very valid statement on a letter submitted earlier to the city regarding the direction by stating “major factor of North/South lot orientation with today’s energy conscientious consumer,” which is very true!

In that letter the developer states, “The current plan will offer 1.8 acres in open space and parks, including a highly amenitized club house with a wellness center and swimming pool, similar to Richwoods!”

Now that is awesome!

  

Lexington will be Gated with 3 gates, and initially start out with a total of 8 Phases and 634 lots. Landon Development did purchase another approximate 134 acres from Brinkmann in July of 2015 that most likely will be additional phases to Lexington. This new tract of land is located South of the current phases and continues down to Main Street. 

The developer has been in touch with FISD regarding a school site on the property and the location will be at the North East corner of Lexington. 

The surrounding land around Lexington on Coit Road and Eldorado Parkway, has been retained by Brinkmann for the current zoning of light retail. This is vital considering the amount of new homes being built in and around Lexington. Commercial normally comes after residential development. 

Phases and Lots in Lexington

  

Centrally located, Phases 1-6 will consist of 502 lots and broken into three different standard lot sizes. 140 lots will be in the 65 foot wide by 115 foot deep. 208 lots will be 70 foot wide by 100 foot deep. 154 lots will be 74 foot wide by 120 foot deep. There will always be irregular shaped lots in any community which will not fall within those dimensions. 

  
Phases 7 & 8 will be North of the first 6 phases and will consist of 132 lots split into 2 different standard lot sizes. 

  
They will continue with 77 lots that are standard 74 foot wide by 120 foot deep. The other 55 lots will be considered the luxury home lots at a standard 90 foot wide by 130 foot deep. 

Lexington Builders

  

I couldn’t be happier with the builders that Landon Development has selected! All 4 builders are very well known and deliver absolutely stunning new homes. 

My best guess is as follows on which builders will be building in which section of lots. 

K Hovnanian Homes and Landon Homes will be in the 65’s. Landon Signature will be in the 70’s, 74’s and 90’s. Shaddock Homes will be in the 70’s or 74’s. And Toll Brothers will definitely be in the 90’s and possibly 74’s. 

Again, that’s MY guess! 

  
I think that the builders in Lexington will have an overall higher quality of luxury by including one of the Top builders in DFW, Shaddock Homes, comparing builders in Richwoods. 

  

Landon plans to offer an “empty nester” product that I think will be very successful and is needed in Frisco! 

The goal to start pre sale will be in the middle of 2016, but you never know in residential development. 

What we do know is that Lexington has a lot of many positive attributes going for it (from location, builders, amenities, lot sizes and being gated) and will be one of the most highly sought after communities in Frisco

  
“For updates on Lexington check back here or text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723. I plan to stay in touch with all the builders and provide you as much information as they give to me.”

Edgestone at Legacy in Frisco Announced by Developer Hines for 2016

Aug28

  After Toll Brothers Development decided not to purchase this prime 311-acre property off of Stonebrook and Legacy to develop in Frisco about 9 months ago, I knew it was only time! 
Edgestone at Legacy in Frisco will be developed by Hines Development and Canadian partner Trez Capital L.P.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Real Estate is about location and The Edgestone at Legacy in Frisco will be the second best location in Frisco in my opinion. Second only to Starwood. 

There is too much commercial development being developed within a mile from this location for it to fail. And more importantly, Stonebrook Parkway plans to FINALLY be complete to the North Dallas Tollroad which will allow residents of Edgestone about a 3 minute drive to the main North/South thoroughfare in Frisco!   I have driven by this piece of land hundreds of times wondering, “What is the deal? Why is this not being developed?” After hearing that Toll Brothers placed it under contract a couple reasons were finally pointed out to me on why it took so long. 

#1 Bert Fields Jr. the Owner

  

Bert Fields was and still is a Frisco ICON! He was a very savvy Texas oilman, banker and rancher. Bert knew business! 

At only 23, he took over the family business of Oil and Banking and basically built it into an empire! In 2011, his North Dallas Bank & Trust celebrated its 50th anniversary with assets over 1 Billion Dollars! Not to mention the other thousand acres he also owns in Frisco. 

So clearly, there was NO REASON to sell the property off for development. 

Bert unfortunately passed away in January of 2015 but already had plans to sell the property to Toll Brothers prior. 

So Bert was just being Bert by holding the property for the absolute best time to sell, and it’s unfortunate he will not get to know how incredible his decision was! 

#2. Massive Flood Plain

 
Developers try their best to make communities beautiful, but more importantly they try to make money. That caused a very big concern for Edgestone at Legacy with the acerage of the natural 100 year floodplain. 

My best guess is 30 to 40% of this piece of land is in the floodplain. For the developer to make this site work they will have to either chop the lots up into very small lots or way over charge the builders on their lot cost. Which obviously means the prices of homes here will not be cheap! 

From the plat map, the current lot sizes look to me as 50 foot wide patio homes and 65 foot single families on the North side of Stonebrook. And 65,75,85+ foot wide lots on the Southern side of the property. 

Hines is very early in this but from my experience with developers and what is currently taking place in Frisco with the high lot costs, my best guess for the the smaller 65 foot wide lots would be around $140,000 and maybe $150,000! 

And that is EXPENSIVE! 

If that is the case when they most likely open towards the end 2016, my best guess that prices would start in the $600’s up to the Millions. So to be in this incredible new community it is going to cost you. 

They do have around 10-15% of the land highlighted senior housing and office to help offset the floodplain location.  

 
Current plans show a beautiful entry, large amenity center, a proposed city park in the floodplain, a long hike and bike trail by the mature trees and a man made pond. 

Builders 

  

Current plans are for Coventry Homes, Darling Homes, Highland Homes, Huntington Homes, Key Life Homes, Shaddock Homes and Village Builders to start initially in the new Edgestone at Legacy project in Frisco. 

  
These builders better bring their A-Game to be successful, and I know most of them for sure will! It’s a great mix of builders announced and with the Dallas Cowboys coming and Grand Park, I don’t see why it won’t be an absolutely amazing community in the future! 

“If you are interested or looking to make a move in the next year or so and you think Edgestone at Legacy in Frisco looks like a good fit, text or call me today at (469) 733-2723 and I can keep you in the loop when the builders plans and pricing come out!”
