Homes, restaurants, social club coming to this Westlake development plagued by delays
CORRECTION: A restaurant listed in an earlier version of this story is not coming to the development. The story has been updated.
More homes and restaurants are coming to Westlake’s Entrada, a development modeled after a Spanish village.
Michael Beaty, president of Moreland Development in Dallas, is overseeing the 85-acre development at Texas 114 and Davis Boulevard. When complete, homes shops and restaurants will be nestled among canals in the heart of one of the United States’ most affluent communities. Pavers and stones in the development were hand-cut.
Beaty said in an email to the Star-Telegram that he anticipates the first restaurant will open in the spring, and more businesses are in the works.
Other businesses include a dessert shop, executive office suites, Entrada Spirits and Entrada AutoWerks, Beaty said.
More single-family homes are also under construction with prices starting at $1.4 million.
Under the current zoning, 322 homes and condos are allowed, and Beaty said that 240 homes will be built, ranging in size from 1,800 to 6,000 square feet.
Residents will also enjoy a “private social club”. The Club will have an athletic facility, roof-top restaurant and social club, access to a resort-level swimming pool that will be constructed with the planned hotel.
Beaty is also working with Westlake on plans for a 70-unit condominium building. Mayor Sean Kilbride, who was elected in May, said he campaigned on a platform of moving Entrada forward after the project was delayed.
Westlake formed a $26.3 million public improvement district to fund the roads, garages and canals, and Kilbride said he wants to see a return on the town’s investment. The development started almost 10 years ago, he said.
He described the view from City Hall of the new homes under construction.
“I feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. I want to finish what we started,” he said.
Kilbride said Westlake is in the middle of major growth with its proximity to several highway expansion projects and to DFW Airport.
