The sale of a key Frisco property will bring a new neighborhood with hundreds of homes, the first of potentially thousands of new homes to Frisco.  Plano-based homebuilder John Landon said Monday that he has bought part of the 3,500-acre Brinkmann Ranch – one of the largest undeveloped properties in Frisco.   Landon bought about 200 acres on the east side of the ranch on Coit Road.  His Landon Homes plans to begin construction soon on the new neighborhood.   “Landon also has an option to buy more property at Brinkmann Ranch.  The sprawling property located between Preston and Coit roads has for years been one of the most sought after development sites in Collin County.  Owner Baxter Brinkmann has been working with the City of Frisco to plan the property for multiple uses.

A New 39-story Condo High Rise in the Arts District

A 39-story tower planned for downtown Dallas’ Arts District will contain luxury apartments, artist lofts and retail space at Flora and Olive streets.   Developers will build a 39-story residential tower on one of the last vacant sites in the downtown Dallas Arts District.  The project at Flora and Olive streets is right next door to the Museum Tower and a block south of Klyde Warren Park.    The development will have 370 luxury apartments, 39 artists’ lofts and about 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space on the one-acre site between the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Meyerson Symphony Center.  “It’s a dense, urban project,” said Dallas architect Graham Greene, one of the partners in the project. “We took our inspiration from what has been done in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in their downtowns.   “It helps complete the Arts District — we have storefront retail all along Flora,” Greene said. “It adds a population of 400 to 500 residents, which is huge.”   Construction begins fourth quarter 2015.
