Sources: Chinese-based home goods retailer readying massive project in Frisco


Auburn, NSW, AU (Signature PM)

Quote:
A Chinese manufacturer of building materials, hardware and home goods is readying plans to make way for a massive retail hub along the U.S. 380 corridor in Frisco, sources say.

The real estate rumblings come after an affiliate of Lesso America Inc., a subsidiary of China Lesso Group Holdings Ltd., acquired two tracts of land totaling more than 76 acres in Frisco for a new mall development site in June 2016.
Quote:
Real estate sources say Lesso America is working on plans to build a multi-story retail center that would be a hybrid between an Ikea and a Home Depot with a focus on serving the growing North Texas suburbs.
Quote:
If developed, this could be one of the first Lesso Mall developments to appear in the United States.
Quote:
"There's no doubt there's a growing population in this part of the region that could handle a store like this," said Reimer, who works with numerous retailers searching for land sites for storefronts along the corridor.

Grand Park vision could come to life in 2018
Future plans could add more acreage, extend the park east of the Dallas North Tollway



Project Location

Quote:
Grand Park is planned to be a 350-acre, master-planned regional park near the heart of Frisco.

The most recent plans for the park include a lake feature, walking trails and large amounts of open space paired with commercial development fronting the lake.
Quote:
Grand Park is already planned to be the largest park in Frisco, but it could grow as it is developed. Future phases of the park could include adding acreage to the park east of the toll road and just south of the Frisco Discovery Center. This land could include approximately 180 acres that the city plans to purchase one day surrounding the former Exide Technologies battery recycling plant.

Factoring in all the land that the city already owns for Grand Park and near Frisco Square as well as the land the city could eventually own around the Exide plant, it is possible to have more than 600 acres of park and open space in the heart of the city, City Manager George Purefoy said.

“The vision for Grand Park is even growing bigger than it previously was,” Cheney said.
Quote:
“Once Grand Park is completed, I feel that’s what Frisco will be best known for,” Cheney said. “It’s that kind of caliber of park.”

Pei Wei chain to relocate headquarters from Arizona to Irving


Commercial Cafe

Project Location

Quote:
Armed with up to $500,000 in incentives from the state and $75,000 from the city of Irving, the fast-casual chain plans to create 100 jobs in North Texas over five years, beginning with moves later this year.
Quote:
It is the fifth headquarters relocation that Abbott has secured with the help of the Texas Enterprise Fund.
Quote:
“Part of this is not just a headquarters move, but it’s really an overall shift in our brand direction,” said John “J.” Hedrick, chief executive of Pei Wei. “We are separating operationally and geographically from our parent company.”

He said he expects most of the jobs, some with an average annual compensation package of $125,000, to be filled largely by North Texans.

“I expect the number to be no more than probably 10 people to relocate” from Arizona, he said.

The company, which operates more than 200 restaurants in 21 states, will move into about 14,000 square feet in the Las Colinas Highlands, a seven-story building near DFW Airport.

Park Place Arlington to put down roots in Downtown



Project Location

Quote:
Park Place Arlington will be comprised of two separate buildings, bounded by Mesquite and Elm Streets on the east and west sides. The South Building is bounded by Border/UTA Blvd. and Elm, Mesquite and South Streets. The North Building is bounded by Abram, Elm, Mesquite and South Streets. The two buildings will be connected by a sky bridge over South Street.

The ground floors of both North and South Buildings will include space for commercial development: 15,000 square ft. for restaurants and retailers in the North Building and 10,000 square ft. of office space in the South Building facing Abram, Mesquite and Elm Streets.

Park Place Arlington will have 299 residential units. “This project had the potential to house 900 residents,” said Kritzman. “But as we worked with stakeholders and City leaders – including Mayor Williams, Council member Lana Wolff, and City Manager Trey Yelverton — we volunteered to lower the density to just over 700. It was important to the City, so it is important to us.”
