Lakeside DFW is in the pre-development phase with plans for a conference center hotel, a Cooper Fitness Center/Spa and approximately 145 acres slated for build-to-suit office projects and other commercial uses.  Lakeside DFW is zoned and the site plan is approved for up to six million square feet of corporate headquarters, office, hotel, conference center, and high-end retail. The Cooper Fitness/Spa and medical facilities will complement the hotel and provide unique amenities for the corporate users.

Lakeside DFW is the largest Verizon SmartPark® planned for Texas, which will provide the most advanced telecommunications services available. The project will also have one of the most redundant electric power grids in the region.

�We are proud to announce our association with the world-class developer Hines,� said Lakeside DFW spokesman Alan Stewart. �Their impeccable reputation and capabilities on similar mixed-use developments around the country will complement Lakeside DFW�s extraordinary natural amenities and central location.�
 

�We�ve been closely exploring the feasibility of the conference center hotel and are looking to move forward as conditions warrant�, said Hines Senior Vice President Clayton Elliott.  �The combination of this great site overlooking the lake, its proximity to DFW and the new Lakeside Parkway makes this an awesome location.  We are also encouraged by the Town of Flower Mound�s strong leadership and receptive development environment.� Carl Ewert, a top producer for the Staubach Company, has known this property for 10 years.  He commented, �Lakeside DFW is an outstanding corporate location with its scenic lake views and close proximity to DFW Airport.  Hines is a great developer and is an excellent addition to the team.  A team that can deliver this premier business address.� International Parkway (FM 2499) and the new Lakeside Parkway are key elements in establishing this corporate address. �International Parkway (FM 2499) already provides quick access to DFW Airport and in a few years it will be the primary thoroughfare between the airport and Denton�, said Lakeside partner Pat Cornell.

Master Plan Famous ports-of-call influenced this innovative waterfront master plan that is zoned and approved for corporate campus, specialty office, hotel, conference center, spa, retail, dining, medical and entertainment facilities.

Flower Mound�s Mayor Lori DeLuca said, �We�re confident that the quality that Hines brings to the hotel, Cooper Fitness and future offices at Lakeside DFW will generate a substantial commercial tax base for Flower Mound in the future�. She added that, �Flower Mound, Hines and Lakeside DFW will provide the entire region with extraordinary amenities without equal in North Texas. Lakeside will also become the catalyst for further high quality commercial development in the rest of the Lakeside Business District.�
