At a workshop session of the Lewisville City Council, Russell Glenn CEO Terrence Maiden presented a revised concept for the Hamptons Mixed Use Project, newly rebranded as Lake District West, and asked council to extend the existing developer agreement for up to one year so the team can complete rezoning before closing.

"We are finally at a point where the developer is ready to submit for rezoning," Maiden said, explaining the 2021 agreement requires rezoning prior to closing and that the requested amendment would give the team additional time to complete that process.

Marichelle Samuels, the city’s director of economic development and tourism, introduced the developer team and told council staff will help shepherd the rezoning process. The developer described a roughly 25-acre master plan at the FM 407/I-35E intersection that envisions shops, retail and entertainment uses, office space, a hotel and a central pocket park anchoring a pedestrian street. Designers said the plan emphasizes green space, a wellness trail that would connect to nearby neighborhoods, and structured parking with surface parking options to keep active building fronts along streets.

The presentation highlighted flexibility in the concept plan — the team said a 6-acre parcel within the site could either host an entertainment anchor (with associated programming) or be reserved for traditional office or anchor buildings. The design team also noted site constraints, including an easement that precludes building in a portion of the property; the group proposed walking trails and open-space treatments to maximize that area.

Council members asked questions about site features and jurisdictional constraints; the developers clarified which elements were conceptual and which would require further approvals. No council vote was taken on the presentation itself; the staff-recommended ordinance amendment that would extend the developer agreement to allow additional time for rezoning was placed on the council agenda for formal consideration.

Next steps: the amendment to extend the developer agreement appeared on the regular agenda so the developer can proceed with rezoning and closing once approvals are secured.
