Huffines Communities Inc. said it has received approval from the Lewisville City Council to proceed on the city's first mixed-use, transit-oriented development named Hebron 121 Station.
The location, about two miles north of the George Bush Turnpike, is bounded by Interstate Highway-35E, State Highway 121, and the new Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) rail station.
The location, about two miles north of the George Bush Turnpike, is bounded by Interstate Highway-35E, State Highway 121, and the new Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) rail station.
Residents of Hebron121 Station will be able to walk to the new DCTA rail station to be completed in 2011, and the new DCTA bus station to be completed in 2009, Dallas-based Huffines said.
The DCTA plans to connect with the existing Dallas Area Rapid Transit line currently under construction in Carrollton and will run north to the University of North Texas campus in Denton.
Hebron 121 Station's 90-acre tract will consist of 1,726 residential for-lease homes. It also will include 20,000 square feet of commercial space for restaurants, retail and offices, all adjacent to the proposed DCTA rail station.
Huffines said Hebron 121 Station will feature resort-style living, with landscaped green space, and lakes and trails. More than a mile of river frontage and several hundred acres of parks, future ball fields and open spaces will all connect via hike and bike trails, making Hebron 121 Station a transit-oriented development with the largest residential component in Texas, according to Huffines.
"We are all very excited to welcome Hebron 121 Station as the first transit-oriented development within the city," said Mayor Gene Carey in a statement. "This mixed-use community has been a joint effort between the City of Lewisville, our city staff and Huffines Communities, and we're pleased that construction is moving forward."
