Four Glass Clocks to be Installed in Grapevine Main Station’s Observation Tower

Posted on September 3, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Grapevine Main Station’s Observation Tower will soon be complete with the installation of four glass clocks.

According to officials with the City of Grapevine, the tower was designed to project an authentic historic appearance of clock towers commonly found in 19th century train stations.

The clock design was manufactured to replicate a popular style during that period, and it will include Roman Numerals as well as complementary dial markings and hands.

The clock movements will be controlled electronically, and the 10-foot clock face will be a closed translucent acrylic in order to withstand Texas weather.

The four glass clocks were designed by Electric Time Company, which practiced the art of handcrafted clock manufacturing for more than 100 years.

Located at 891 South Main Street, the Observation Tower sits across from the Hotel Vin, which just opened.

The tower rises 150 feet above the public plaza and features Italianate Architecture from the late 1800’s. The new clocks will be enclosed on the level below an open-air observation deck, which gives visitors a 360-degree view of Grapevine and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

How much is that doggie in the window? And where’s the window?

Posted on February 21, 2020 by | Leave a comment

AnimalSvcsSite2For folks that are hoping to adopt a dog or cat from the Grapevine Animal Shelter, a surprise may be in store for them instead of a family pet.

Right now, only rubble occupies the lot at 500 Shady Brook Drive. The shelter was relocated to Coppell at the end of November 2019 so that the existing building could be demolished. A new, larger facility will take its place. This new building will be almost three times larger than the original.

The project is being paid for by a 2017 bond election.

“We are very excited to provide a functional and beautiful building that will be meet best practices and provide health and safety for the animals, visitors, volunteers, and staff,” a representative of the shelter said.

“The thing that struck me about the building that used to be here was the size. I could see why they would want to increase the size of the new building and give it a lot more footage,” said Jim Goucher, Superintendent of Steele & Freeman, Inc. Construction Managers.

“We have a Fall 2020 completion date, and the weather can play a big factor in that. Right now, we are tracking on target for that,” Goucher said. “We are getting beat on by the rainy weather, but we anticipate an on-time finish. Currently we are setting the foundation into place, along with the grade support beams, the plumbing and the slab. Once we get that done, it gives us something to go straight up with,” Goucher explained.

Goucher also said that several citizens have come to the site, either because they weren’t aware of the construction or had questions about where they can go to adopt a pet.

All adoptable Grapevine animals are still available at Coppell Animal Services, located at 821 S. Coppell Rd. Coppell, TX 75019. They are open Monday – Saturday from 9am – 5pm and Sunday from 1pm – 5pm. The phone number at the Coppell location is 972.304.3515.

Cats are available at the Southlake PetSmart store, located at 200 Village Center Drive. The phone number at PetSmart is 817.251.6848 and they are open Monday – Saturday from 9am until 9pm and Sunday from 10am until 7pm.

To reach Grapevine Animal Services, call 817.410.3370. They continue to provide field services, such as responding to animal concerns and loose/stray animals, deceased animal pickup, ordinance enforcement, and animal bite reporting.

Next phase of Old Town revitalization to increase walkability on Main & Mill in Lewisville

Posted on August 9, 2018 by | Leave a comment

By 

LFH-08-2018-Lede2-2After several years of planning, preparing and talking to business owners, the city of Lewisville will finally move forward this fall with the next big phase of Old Town’s revitalization—reconfiguring Main and Mill streets into a more vibrant and pedestrian-friendly area.

With several nearby residential projects in the works, Lewisville staff said increasing the area’s walkability is desperately needed.

In order to achieve this walkability, Mill between College Street and Purnell Street will be reduced from a four-lane road to a two-lane road with a continuous turn lane in the middle with bike lanes and street parking. Bike lanes, sidewalks and parallel street parking will be added to Main between Mill and Railroad Street.

Southlake’s $290M Carillon Parc project moving forward

Posted on July 13, 2018 by | Leave a comment

By 

In June Southlake City Council approved the site plan for Carillon Parc. The Parc is intended as a high-end retail experience that is pedestrian rather than automobile-focused.

City of Southlake/Community Impact Newspaper

When Denise Shirey first purchased her home in 2012 in the Carillon residential community, it was with the promise that a state-of-the art, mixed-use development would take shape in the field adjacent to her house.

The recession of 2008 was still impacting many projects, however, and over the years the developer, Hines, attempted to sell off sections of the land. Hines eventually backed out of the Carillon plaza district altogether, leaving the field undeveloped.“We felt abandoned,” Shirey said at a June 19 Southlake City Council meeting.That changed in June when the Southlake City Council unanimously approved Hunter Chase Capital Partners’ updated Carillon Parc development—a project a decade in the making.
