Subdivision with custom-built homes priced over $1 million is coming to Grapevine
Plans are underway to build 21 custom homes priced at over $1 million off of Northwest Highway in Grapevine.
Last week, the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission held a joint meeting and approved the request from Hat Creek Development to rezone 11.1 acres on the north side of the highway near Dove Road. The change from office and community commercial to residential means that work can start soon on the subdivision called Grapevine Springs.
Eason Maykus, president of Maykus Homes, spoke during a public hearing. He said the new homes will not be “cookie cutter” houses. The homes will feature lots of masonry work and will be designed to reflect the architecture in Grapevine, Southlake and other communities, he said.
Last year, the project was tabled after residents and city officials raised concerns over losing trees and the number of homes originally planned for Grapevine Springs.
Maykus said he will leave 55% of the tree canopy and plant two trees in front of each home.
Maykus added that he will also build a new 8-foot wooden fence on the west side of the property to replace a broken fence
“Our commitment is to do business in Grapevine and to improve the property with 21 new families and provide quality homes in a quality neighborhood,” he said.
The homes will be built on lots that are approximately one-quarter acre, and construction should start in the first quarter of 2026.
Some of the features in Grapevine Springs include green space and a tree-lined creek with two bridges.
Grapevine Springs is less than two miles from Grapevine’s Main Street and three miles from the Southlake Town Square.
Since 1984, the land was zoned for office space and community commercial, and development was “stagnant,” Maykus said.
Some residents were opposed to the development and spoke during the public hearing.
Julie Jacobs questioned why Grapevine needs more residential development if 85 homes were listed for sale.
Mayor William D. Tate said office space is not the best use for the land as it brings more traffic to the area.
“We worked very hard to make it a better product and to protect everybody’s rights,” he said.
