Developers are turning dirt throughout Grapevine, Collevyille and Southlake. Some projects are for office or hospitality use, and some are large community recreational projects. The following are development highlights of different commercial and recreational projects that are under construction.
1. Ground is expected to break on a Stand Rock Hospitality project in 2018. The $330 million project will feature guest suites, indoor and outdoor water amenities, a 20,000-square-foot family entertainment center and timeshare hotel condominium units. The water park and resort will be located on the Palmeiro Tract, a 185-acre tract of land located north of Grapevine Mills in Grapevine. The project will be built in two phases. Phase 1 is expected to take around 15 months to complete.
2. A Perry’s Steakhouse & Grill is under construction at 2400 W. SH 114, Grapevine. The restaurant is expected to open in the fall. The restaurant will have seating for a total of 449 people—365 interior seats and 84 patio seats. The family-owned and -operated restaurant’s menu items include filet mignon, prime rib eye, grilled salmon, pecan-crusted gulf red snapper and steamed lobster tail as well as soups and salads.

4. Southlake’s second Class A office building, The Offices at Kimball Park, broke ground in July 2016.

When complete, the four-star hospitality building will be a conference center and full-service hotel. Amenities include a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; in-room service; a pool; a fitness center; and boutique retail spaces.
6. On June 21 the city of Colleyville purchased 0.987 acres between Casa Lane and Terra Cotta Way for $800,000. City staff said purchasing the land allows the city to have a role in the future of the space right next to Colleyville City Hall and the Colleyville Public Library. Currently the property is being used to host and enhance the city’s special events, including the recent Summer Reading Grand Finale. The city does have the ability to exercise the property for an economic development purpose.
