10/18/2007 - (Frisco) - With work underway on two hotels, ground will break in November on the residential component of the $130 million second phase of the Centre at Preston Ridge. In 2009, 80,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space will deliver with the 655-unit mid-rise multifamily complex. The two-building apartment complex will be 70 percent one-bedroom units, ranging from 500 square feet to 950 square feet. The remaining units will be two-bedroom designs from 1,050 square feet to 1,275 square feet and lofts that average 1,200 square feet. The average rent will be $975 per month. The first phase of the Centre at Preston Ridge, completed in 2000, was a 904,450-square-foot development. The Centre at Preston Ridge's 30-acre second phase got underway earlier this year with a 117-room Hilton Homewood Suites. The hotel will deliver at year's end. Westwood Residential Co. development site is across the road from Frisco Sierra, a 36-acre multifamily project that got underway this week. The Frisco Sierra developers will be rolling out 300 units of their 600-unit plan soon. And Dallas-based Hicks Sports Group has 37 acres banked for 1,000 residential units, office and retail to surround $114 million Frisco's entertainment and sports complex.

Post Properties' four-story Sierra Frisco apartment community on Warren Parkway will include 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Post also has land for an additional 350 units. Just across Parkwood Boulevard, developer Westwood Residential has broken ground on a 655-unit apartment community that's part of the Centre at Preston Ridge mixed-use development. Westwood's four-story buildings in Centre at Preston Ridge II will have about 15,000 square feet of retail and office space on the lower floors. Rents in the project will average around $975 a month. Several more apartment developments are in the works further north off the tollway in Frisco.

Suburbs are Home of Foreclosure Woes

12/7/2007

This year, lenders sent out more than 40,000 home foreclosure notices in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. And the biggest percentage of those home loan defaults was in the suburbs. Outside of 14,000 postings in the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington had the most foreclosures with more than 2,900 postings, followed by Garland with about 1,900 and Grand Prairie with almost 1,700, according to Foreclosure Listing Service. Collin County cities had more than 1,000 postings each in McKinney, Frisco and Plano. Lancaster also had more than 1,000 postings. Some of the biggest increases in foreclosures were in fast-growing Collin County communities. For instance, the town of Prosper saw postings almost double this year. In Fairview, foreclosures surged 88 percent, with an average loan age of two years. North Texas' exclusive Park Cities neighborhoods were opposites in the foreclosure count. In Highland Park, the number of foreclosures dropped by 10 percent to a scant nine postings. But in neighboring University Park, the number of home loan defaults almost tripled to 32 postings.[Dallas Morning News]
