MEETING DATE: July 23, 2025
FROM: Tamara Smith, MSL, Assistant to the Town Manager
AGENDA ITEM: Consider approval of the small area plan for The Grove at TC. (Tamara Smith,
Assistant to the Town Manager)
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: In 2024, the Town Council approved six business goals for Fiscal
Year 2025. Under the Support Business Focus Area, one objective was to redevelop and create
successful business areas fostering a unique sense of place. The initiative for this objective is to
continue the redevelopment strategies and themes along the SH114 corridor and other key
commercial areas.
To address this Council business goal, the Town issued a request for proposals (RFP) on March
25, 2024, seeking a comprehensive small area plan for properties adjacent to State Highway
114 Frontage Road and Trophy Wood Drive. The aim is to redefine the property layout with a
focus on various priorities, including enhancing economic resilience, fostering service-based
employment, improving overall quality of life, promoting sustainability, enhancing pedestrian
safety and walkability, facilitating future development, and addressing area parking needs.
The proposal submission period closed on April 15, 2024. Following a thorough review of bid
packets by three Economic Development Corporation (EDC) members and four staff members,
it was determined that The John R. McAdams Company, Inc. ("McAdams") emerged as the top
contender among the submissions.
In May 2024, both the EDC and Town Council approved a professional services contract with
McAdams to lead the small area plan process. The project officially kicked off on July 8, 2024.
McAdams divided the process into five phases: Explore, Evaluate, Envision, Enact, and Execute.
The Explore phase included the project program, the kick-off meeting, and stakeholder
feedback. During this phase, the Town and McAdams conducted interviews with nine
businesses in the small area plan to gather insights on their concerns and positive aspects of
the area. The Evaluate phase involved inventory, analysis, and a market study of the area,
conducted with the help of their third-party consultant, Catalyst.
In November 2024, the Town and McAdams started the Envision phase, which conducted a
community-wide online survey to gather feedback from residents. The goal was to collect
valuable insights from as many residents as possible by providing an accessible online platform,
particularly for those unable to attend the open house but still wishing to share their input. The
survey was promoted through Town-wide communications to maximize visibility and
encourage participation. Over a four-week period, 595 responses were received, yielding a
4.15% response rate, which is within the preferred range.
Page 7 of 90
On February 13, McAdams presented two plan scenario variations to the EDC Board to gather
initial feedback. The concepts were then shared with the Town Council on February 24, where
McAdams was asked to return for a follow-up work session to allow for further discussion. In
response, a joint meeting with the Town Council and EDC was held, during which McAdams
presented Option 2 alongside a revised version that incorporated feedback from the EDC. The
presentation covered key topics including programming, feasibility, project phasing, the TIRZ
funding mechanism, and a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons.
The Town is currently in the latter half of the Enact phase. A preferred concept has been
selected, and the McAdams team has prepared a final draft of the plan. The EDC discussed the
draft final plan and offered feedback, which was forwarded to the McAdams team for review
and incorporation. At tonight’s meeting, McAdams will present the final plan for adoption by
the EDC.
BOARD REVIEW/CITIZEN FEEDBACK: The EDC has a subcommittee that meets bi-weekly with
McAdams and provides monthly updates to the full EDC Board. Attached to this agenda item is
the meeting minutes from June 3rd. The EDC Board discussed and provided feedback on the
final document on May 22nd. That feedback was incorporated into the final plan presented
tonight.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total amount for the Small Area Plan was initially budgeted at $89,437,
expended from the Economic Development Corporation Fund. On March 6, 2025, a change
order was requested to include an additional $3,563. Additional services were asked of
McAdams, including (2) preliminary concept plans, adding an alternate to the preliminary
concept number two, phasing plan, and preliminary program for both concepts. Additional
costs also include an EDC meeting as well as a joint work session between the EDC and Town
Council. The total cost of the McAdams contract is now $93,000.

Executive Summary 2
Executive
Summary
What is a Small Area Plan?
Small Area Plans serve as strategic tool that offers
detailed guidance on the future development and
character of a specific part of a Town or City. By
focusing on a defined geographic area, these plans
outline tailored goals, policies, and design princi-
ples that reflect the unique needs and opportuni-
ties of the community. They help shape land use,
transportation, infrastructure, public spaces, and
zoning regulations in a coordinated manner. As a
road map, Small Area Plans empower residents,
business owners, and local governments to work
collaboratively toward a shared vision, supporting
targeted investments and informed decision-making
that enhance the area’s livability, economic vitality,
and identity.1
For Trophy Club, this Small Area Plan will serve as
a guide to help make important decisions about
how to invest in the community and improve
the overall area. Property owners can use the
plan when considering upgrades or changes to
their land, while businesses can look to the plan
to understand the long-term vision for the area.
Town staff, Town Council, Planning and Zoning,
and other advisory boards will reference the plan
when reviewing development proposals to ensure
that new projects align with the community’s goals
and maintain the integrity of the vision.
Location of a Small Area Plan
The subject site encompasses approximately 54
acres of land at the south gateway into Trophy
Club from SH 114, situated between Trophy Wood
Dr. The site has about 4,000 linear feet of frontage
along SH 114 and currently encompasses fifteen
tracts of land, two of which are owned by the
Economic Development Corporation (EDC).

What is in the Plan?
The plan is structured to reflect the comprehensive
project process, providing a clear and logical path
for the reader to follow. It begins by outlining the
existing conditions, which provides an in-depth
analysis of the area offering important context
about the current land use, infrastructure, trans-
portation, and other key factors. Following this,
the plan presents the vision statement and guiding
principles which serve as the foundation for all plan-
ning efforts. Community engagement techniques
are also detailed, highlighting the various ways in
which residents, business owners, and stakeholders
contributed their input to shape the plan. The
heart of the plan is the development plan, which
sets forth the proposed land use strategies, design
concepts, and development goals. Finally, the plan
outlines specific implementation ideas, including
policy recommendations, infrastructure priorities,
and potential partnerships to bring the vision to
life. The structure mirrors the step-by-step process
undertaken during the project, as illustrated in
Figure 1.2, helping readers understand how each
phase informed the next and how the plan evolved
into a comprehensive, actionable strategy.

Vision Statement & Guiding Principles
The vision statement and guiding principles below were created by Town leadership and acted as the
foundation throughout the entire planning process. As the area is developed, these principles and vision
statement should be incorporated into every approved plan.

Feedback
Over a month-long period, input was gathered
through stakeholder meetings, an online survey,
and a public open house. The team identified a set
of questions and used them to create survey boards
and interview questions to obtain valuable input.
The feedback, analyzed by the design team and
advisory board, revealed three key community
priorities. First, residents emphasized the need
for improved connectivity, citing poor pedestrian
access and disjointed land use that make the area
difficult to navigate. Second, there was a strong
desire for community gathering spaces where
families can spend time together and neighbors can
connect through shared activities. Lastly, residents
expressed interest in expanding local dining and
retail options, noting a preference to shop and
dine within Trophy Club rather than traveling to
nearby towns/cities.

Key Themes
Three themes emerged from the robust community engagement:
The Grove at TC
Development Plan
Over the course of four months, the design team
collaborated closely with Town staff, the Economic
Development Corporation, and the Town Council
to finalize the plan for The Grove at TC. The
resulting plan reflects a balanced approach that
maximizes the area’s potential while staying true
to the guiding principles and addressing the three
key themes identified through community feedback.
The proposed land use envisions a dynamic
mixed-use development that includes resi-
dential, commercial, office, and entertainment
components. The area already features a variety
of uses, and building upon this foundation will
help create a more cohesive and vibrant district.
The plan also prioritizes improved vehicular and
pedestrian connectivity, recognizing the importance
of both mobility and accessibility. It outlines a
combination of short-term design enhancements
that can be implemented quickly alongside long-
term infrastructure investments that will evolve over
time to support the area’s growth and functionality.
Plan Options
Choice and flexibility emerged as the most significant
takeaways from the meetings with the Economic
Development Corporation (EDC) and Town Council.
Both groups emphasized the importance of ensuring
that the plan remains adaptable, allowing devel-
opers the flexibility to respond to market condi-
tions and site-specific opportunities as they arise.
In response, the final plan adopted a more diagram-
matic and framework-based approach, offering
a range of development scenarios rather than
prescribing a fixed layout. These options explored
elements such as open space configurations,
building compositions, and vehicular and pedes-
trian circulation. This approach provides guidance
while maintaining adaptability to support phased
development and evolving community needs.

11 Executive Summary
Implementation &
Action Plan
This plan establishes clear implementation guide-
lines to serve as a practical decision-making tool for
Town staff and elected officials. The implementation
chart assigns responsibilities and prioritizes actions,
helping to ensure strategic, coordinated, and effec-
tive progress toward the community’s vision. As
decisions arise and questions are considered, the
chart can be referenced to validate actions, align
with community goals, and maintain consistency
throughout the development process.
The following are examples of proposed implemen-
tation strategies designed to directly support and
advance each guiding principle:
Create a form-based
code for The Grove at TC.
Form-based code would
communicate predictable
and clear design standards
to potential developers.
Adopt The “Grove at TC
Small Area Plan” policy
document to set the vision
for the district.
Review the area plan
at regular intervals to
ensure it remains aligned
with market realities
and is updated if market
conditions change.
Determine appropriate
incentive-based tools to
promote the activation
of vacant parcels and
redevelopment of other
parcels.
Require 12’ minimum
trail width for primary
pedestrian paths within the
Grove at TC.

Purpose
A detailed and accurate understanding of a commu-
nity’s demographics is essential to the success
of any long-range planning effort. As population
growth and change continue to shape the future of
Trophy Club, this plan’s goals and recommendations
are designed to evolve alongside the communi-
ty’s needs. These demographic insights serve
as a road map, helping ensure that the Town’s
offerings remain aligned with shifting demands.
Demographic analysis adds depth to the broader
narrative of population growth. As the regional
population grows and demographics change, so
do the characteristics of the community. Varia-
tions in age groups, racial composition, income
levels, and household types often accom-
Trophy Club
pany growth, influencing the kinds of recre-
ational facilities, programs, and services that
are most relevant and beneficial to residents.
In addition to population changes, evolving
economic trends and consumer preferences
drive demand for new types of businesses and
shape how those businesses operate. Even in
the absence of significant demographic shifts,
changing tastes can create new expectations for
dining, retail, and entertainment experiences.
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of
the Town of Trophy Club’s demographic profile and
includes a summary of the community’s existing
land use.

Community
Demographics
Trophy Club, Texas, is a thriving suburban commu-
nity situated within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro-
plex. From 2000 to 2020, the Town experienced
impressive growth, with its population increasing
by approximately 46%, bringing the current popu-
lation to around 14,328 residents.1 The Town offers
a peaceful, family-oriented atmosphere, providing
residents with a tranquil escape while still being
in close proximity to the dynamic urban centers
of Dallas and Fort Worth. With a median age of
42, Trophy Club is home to a diverse mix of young
professionals, families, and retirees, making it an
appealing destination for people at various stages
of life, from those raising children to those seeking
a peaceful retirement.
While the Town’s demographic makeup is predom-
inantly Caucasian, Trophy Club is becoming more
diverse, with steadily growing Hispanic and African
American populations. The Town also sees a slightly
higher number of females than males, contrib-
uting to a well-rounded community. This growing
diversity fosters an inclusive atmosphere that
welcomes people from all walks of life. The shift in
demographics has fueled an increasing demand for
community events and businesses that cater to the
varied interests and backgrounds of the residents,
further enriching the Town’s sense of community
and local culture.
Trophy Club’s median household income is nearing
$200,000, which is significantly higher than the
national average of $80,610.2 This reflects the
Town’s status as a desirable “bedroom community”
for professionals. The housing market in Trophy
Club is predominantly made up of single-family
homes, which account for about 89% of the housing
stock. With such a strong emphasis on single-family
residences and considering the Town’s median age
of 42, residents tend to seek a variety of housing
options that allow them to remain in the area as
their needs evolve through different stages of life.

Trophy Club has successfully cultivated a welcoming,
family-friendly environment by focusing on active
neighborhoods, excellent schools, and a thriving
local economy. Its appealing mix of housing options,
recreational amenities, and close-knit community
atmosphere have drawn families from across the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to call Trophy Club
home. The Town’s commitment to maintaining a
high quality of life, combined with its accessibility
to major employment centers, has made it one of
the most sought-after places to live in the area.

Trophy Club Housing
The concept that eventually led to the creation of Trophy Club began when Houston-based developer
Johnson-Loggins proposed a housing development centered around a premier golf course.3 This vision
ultimately evolved into the community we know today. True to its original concept, approximately 4,441
single-family homes are now situated around two 18-hole golf courses, providing a residential haven for
around 14,328 residents. Covering 4.1 square miles, Trophy Club offers a limited mix of housing options.
In addition to single-family homes, the Town has 46 townhomes, 42 duplexes, and 445 multifamily units.

Market Analysis
Summary
Trophy Club is experiencing steady growth in
its commercial real estate market, fueled by its
strategic position within the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex. While the Town’s commercial market
is not as expensive or developed as the central
business districts of Dallas or Fort Worth, it is
steadily evolving to meet the needs of not only
their growing residential population but also nearby
cities’ growing residential population. Trophy Club’s
commercial sector is primarily focused on serving
its local community, offering a mix of retail, dining,
and service-oriented businesses. The Town’s prox-
imity to major highways, including SH 114, and
easy access to Dallas and Fort Worth make it an
attractive location for small to mid-sized busi-
nesses. Companies such as Fidelity, Charles Schwab,
Deloitte, Goosehead Insurance, and Sabre have
established a presence in the area, benefiting from
its residential appeal and strategic location near
major commercial hubs.
Compared to the overall Dallas-Fort Worth commer-
cial real estate market, Trophy Club’s commercial
market is more niche and specialized. The Dallas-
Fort Worth area is one of the largest commercial
real estate markets in the country, with a dynamic
mix of office, industrial, retail, and multifamily
properties spread across the region. Trophy Club’s
commercial market is more focused on neighbor-
hood-serving businesses and small retail centers.
This creates a more localized market, where
demand is driven by the needs of residents and
the growing number of families and professionals
moving into the area. While Trophy Club does not
have the same scale of corporate offices or large
commercial developments as Dallas or Fort Worth,
it benefits from its status as a desirable residential
community with commercial properties catering to
everyday conveniences and local services.
Trophy Club’s mixed portfolio of dining, office, and
retail allows Trophy Club to remain resilient when
different market sectors are lower than others.
Compared to the Dallas and Fort Worth Market,
where the fluctuation within the economy can shift
consumer behaviors, the Town businesses cater
towards the residents that live in the area and
focus on providing services that appeal to those
family-oriented demographics. Even within the
surrounding neighboring communities like Roanoke,
Westlake, and Southlake, the average vacancy
rate is relatively low at 5.9%, equating to roughly
12,000 square feet, despite the competitive retail
spaces and rental prices within the area.4
With limited tracts of land remaining for develop-
ment, Trophy Club’s commercial real estate market
holds significant potential for further expansion.
Projections indicate a population growth rate of
2.1% over the next five years, paired with rising
household incomes that are expected to boost
retail spending by an estimated $111.2 million from
2024 to 2029.5 Additionally, Trophy Club’s proximity
to DFW International Airport enhances its appeal
for developers and businesses seeking to tap into
a market poised for growth. This combination of
strong residential demand, increasing incomes,
and access to major transportation hubs positions
Trophy Club as an ideal location for further commer-
cial development, offering new opportunities for
businesses and enriching the economic landscape
for its residents.

Area Description
The location of the subject site encompasses
approximately 54-acres of land located at the
south gateway into Trophy Club from SH 114. The
site has approximately 4,000 linear feet of frontage
on SH 114 and consists of several existing busi-
nesses as listed in Figure 2.7. There are currently
42 duplexes and 136 apartment units in the study
area, with an additional seven townhomes under
construction. There are approximately 7.48 acres
of undeveloped land in key locations that can serve
as catalyst opportunities to realize the vision of
this small area plan.
Property Ownership
Within the 54-acres, the property is divided into
17 distinct tracts of land under 12 different owner-
ships. As is common in commercial and mixed-use
developments, ownership varies widely—ranging
from private individuals and local businesses to
developers and public entities. Tracts 1, 2, and 6
were developed by a private developer and currently
serve as residential housing, offering both rental
and for-sale options. Tract 3 is occupied by Baylor
Scott & White, yet it also includes space leased
to independent medical offices, reflecting a blend
of institutional and private healthcare services.
Tract 13 contains a privately owned dental office.
Several tracts—specifically 5, 9, 10, and 15—are
publicly owned by the Town of Trophy Club and its
Economic Development Corporation. As mentioned
in the previous sections, tracts 5 and 15 make up
the approximately 7.48 acres of undeveloped land,
which can serve as catalyst opportunities for the
Town. Tracts 8 and 14 offer dining areas and are
home to privately owned restaurants. Meanwhile,
tracts 4, 7, 11, and 12 are developed as hotel
properties under well-known franchises such as
Homewood Suites, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn &
Suites, and WoodSpring Suites—each privately
owned but operating under national hospitality
brands. This diverse ownership structure supports a
dynamic, multi-functional community that balances
residential, commercial, public, and hospitality uses.

Existing Street Network
Located along SH 114, this site benefits from
exceptional accessibility, with convenient on-and-off
access that makes it highly attractive for both resi-
dents and visitors. There are six existing driveway
access points along SH 114 that serve several
tracts, as well as one major intersection at Trophy
Wood Drive, a key connector for the site, and the
entire east side of Trophy Club. Trophy Wood Drive
functions as the primary access route for residents
and businesses in the area, with daily traffic counts
averaging approximately 1,800 vehicles, according
to data collected by the Town. Plaza Drive intersects
with Trophy Wood Drive and extends east toward
T W King Road, eventually reconnecting to SH 114.
However, this connection is indirect and does not
provide smooth circulation, creating challenges
for drivers attempting to use it as a through route.
Additionally, Plaza Drive currently dead-ends into a
parking lot on the east side, further limiting traffic
flow and contributing to circulation inefficiencies
in the area.

Existing Pedestrian Network
Sidewalks and Trails promote walkability and
outdoor activity, aligning with the Town’s fami-
ly-oriented character. However, the pedestrian
infrastructure becomes more fragmented in this
area. Sidewalks are present in some areas but
lack consistent connectivity between commercial
developments, hotels, and civic spaces. Crosswalks
and pedestrian-friendly intersections are limited,
making walkability between different land uses
less convenient and potentially unsafe. Bicycles
and Golf Carts are not as limited because they can
utilize the street. However, the streets do not have
designated bike or golf cart paths, which can be a
safety concern and create congestion on the roads.

Existing Land Use
Building off the property ownership section and
the various uses established across the site, it’s
clear that these factors have not only shaped the
existing land use pattern but are also influencing
the future vision for the area. Understanding
current conditions is essential before developing
a long-term land use strategy and defining the
community’s character. In Trophy Club, land use is
generally categorized into two main types: suburban
areas and commercial center districts. Like many
surrounding communities, Trophy Club has concen-
trated its commercial districts along major road-
ways, supporting higher-density development and
encouraging pedestrian activity. In contrast, the
suburban areas are set farther from these corridors
and are primarily composed of single-family homes,
parks, and schools.
What makes this particular tract of land unique is
that it has been purchased and developed on a
tract-by-tract basis, each with its own individual
purpose. This piecemeal approach has resulted in a
lack of cohesion typically found in master-planned
developments. If the area had been developed from
a unified vision, it likely would have taken on the
form of a traditional commercial corridor—featuring
a stronger emphasis on retail and commercial uses
and less on other land uses. However, the current
development framework sets up this area to be
developed into a mixed-use transformation.
As shown in Figure 2.12, the existing land use
includes high-density residential, medical offices,
hotels, civic spaces, commercial uses, and a few
remaining vacant parcels. While the range of
uses is broad, the area suffers from a lack of
connectivity and integration between them. Rather
than functioning as a cohesive district, the area
feels segmented, with each use standing alone.
Addressing this disconnect through improved land
use planning and physical connections will be
key to shaping a more unified, vibrant mixed-use
environment moving forward.

Existing Constraints
The existing building framework is just one of
several constraints that influence the future plan-
ning and development potential of this area. A
key limitation is the parking agreement between
HG Sply Co. and the Town of Trophy Club, which
requires the Town to guarantee access to 190
dedicated parking spaces. This condition could
restrict the ability to reconfigure parking layouts
or modify land use in that area unless the same
number of spaces can be preserved or replaced
as part of any changes. Another challenge is the
presence of approximately 4,015 linear feet of
overhead power lines across the site—of which
about 1,822 feet run directly through the core of the
property. These lines create complications for site
design, infrastructure improvements, and aesthetic
enhancements. In addition, several internal roads
are privately owned, which means any upgrades or
circulation improvements would require negotiation
with current property owners to transfer owner-
ship or easements. Circulation issues are further
compounded by limited connectivity throughout the
site, with Trophy Wood Drive serving as the primary
access point for the eastern portion. This concen-
trated traffic flow raises concerns about congestion.
A potential solution could involve extending T W
King Road north to connect with Plaza Drive, which
would help alleviate traffic pressure and improve
connectivity. Recognizing these constraints and
understanding the existing land use framework
is a critical first step in the planning process. The
next step is to engage the community and gather
input from residents to help shape a vision that
balances current realities with future opportunities.

COMMUNITY
OUTREACH
Area Identity & Vision Statement
At the outset of the planning process, a team consisting of representatives from the Town’s Economic
Development Corporation (EDC) and Town Staff was assembled. Through collaboration and alignment
with community values, the team developed a project name for the area to help foster a sense of place
and identity that could be branded. The team also developed a vision statement, which was shared with
stakeholders and Town leaders.
A vision statement clearly articulates an organization’s long-term direction and ultimate goals,
serving as a guiding light for strategic planning and decision-making. Through discussion and
collaboration, the team arrived at a specific vision statement: “The Grove at TC is a welcoming
and vibrant hub where residents and visitors come together to enjoy Trophy Club’s prosperity.”
The name The Grove at TC sets the identity of the place. The Grove implies a peaceful, tree-filled
space ideal for communities, shopping areas, and residential development. While the inclusion of
TC gives a sense of place and connection to the Town, but does not identify itself as the whole
Town. The name is ideal for branding and is short and catchy, which helps create the area as a
signature staple for the Town.

Community Engagement
& Process
This plan used a combination of input from Trophy
Club residents, the EDC, Town Council, and staff
to help guide the community engagement portion
of the information-gathering process. The team
held a variety of public outreach efforts to gather
feedback from community stakeholders, prop-
erty owners, and Town leadership. This collective
feedback was then used to inform the area plan
document and to ensure that it is firmly rooted
in the community values while providing flexible
options to respond to evolving market conditions.
The five guiding principles instilled team alignment
on recommendations for public input methodology
regarding community values, customer satisfaction,
and the community’s economic needs.
Team meetings later in the process took a more
focused approach, seeking feedback on proposed
recommendations. Input from all meetings drove
the creation of the vision framework, which is the
foundation for this plan’s recommendations and
implementation plan.
The first type of engagement was with the area’s
property and business owners. Next, the Town
administered a web-based public input survey
open to all residents through SurveyMonkey, an
online survey website. In addition, the team held
two open house events at Town Hall for residents
to provide feedback in person. The details of the
community engagement meetings are described
below, including the purpose, input strategy, and
outcomes summary.

Property & Business Owners
Purpose
The area contains several properties and businesses,
and these stakeholders experience the current built
environment of The Grove at TC on a daily basis.
It is critical to solicit their feedback and input since
decisions made for this plan can directly impact
these established businesses. Furthermore, the
property owners may have plans that can impact
the viability of this area plan. Therefore, the team
elected to reach out to these stakeholders as
the first step of outreach during the community
engagement process.
Strategy
The team worked together to identify 12 stake-
holders who either owned land or ran a business
within the area. Each stakeholder was contacted
through email or phone call to set up a one-on-one
sessions and asked a series of questions. Out of the
12 stakeholders, 10 were able to provide feedback.
Outcome
Many of the stakeholders wanted to see this area
more active and bring more people in because it
would also help their businesses. It was stated
that more entertainment within the area that
caters to all ages would be extremely successful.
Some were concerned regarding the connectivity
between spaces, how pedestrians safely walk, and
how vehicles park within the area; however, they
were not concerned with increased traffic. Stake-
holders shared that their other locations were more
successful due to the availability of connectivity
and other retail stores. Overall, the stakeholders
were very receptive to the redevelopment in this
area and excited to be a part of it.
Community Wide Online Survey
Purpose
The purpose of a community-wide online survey
is to seek input from the public regarding what
they envision for “The Grove at TC.” This approach
aimed to gain insightful information from as many
residents as possible by using an online platform
that could be accessible to residents who could
not attend the open house but still would like to
share their feedback. The types of questions were
related to economic development needs, accessi-
bility, and land use, it also provided an overview
of the planning process for the small area plan.

is walkable & provides an
entertainment element for
residents.”
- Quote from Stakeholder
Strategy
The survey was displayed by the Town through
several communication techniques such as posting
online, resident emails, social media outreach,
inclusion in the Town’s weekly newsletter, and
providing a QR code at Town Hall. This wide distri-
bution helped to enhance exposure and encourage
participation. Over four weeks, 595 responses
were collected from the online survey, which has
a 4.15% response rate and is within the preferred
response rate. The Town of Trophy Club, EDC, and
other team members worked diligently to collect
and consolidate resident feedback. The summary
of those responses is listed as follows:
DRAFT
Page 30 of 90
39 Community Outreach Community Outreach 40
Outcome
Residents were asked to identify one of the five
guiding principles that resonates most with them.
The results showed that ”Thoughtful and Integrated
Development” was the most important principle,
with an emphasis on community gathering spaces.
When asked what demographic should be prioritized
for this development, “Market Demand” ranked
the highest. Today, the area comprises hotels,
restaurants, civic spaces, residential, and offices.
To ensure this area is best utilized, residents had
the opportunity to provide feedback on what they
felt would be the best use of the space.
Residents selected restaurants as a type of use
that they most wanted to see in this area, with
around a 66% vote. Following the restaurants,
entertainment, and retail also ranked high on the
list. This aligns with the community gathering space
element the residents identified as a key element
they wanted to see.
Residents were asked to identify and explain the
strengths of the area. The majority of the respon-
dents saw location and access to SH 114 as a
strength. Residents thought the visibility from SH
114 would draw people into the area and help the
local businesses. Although residents identified loca-
tion as a strength for this area, residents identified
traffic as a weakness. With the location being in
close proximity to SH 114, residents stated traffic
was a concern for them and worried about the
congestion of the area.

Understanding that connectivity and accessibility
are key principles for an area to thrive, residents
were given the option to identify which mobility
method they would use if available to them. A
majority of residents would enjoy walking. Although
walking was a preferred method of mobility, a
follow-up question was asked about what was
preventing them from using their preferred trans-
portation method. The response was that the lack
of infrastructure within the area made it harder
for them to use any mobility method other than
their vehicle. There are several missing sidewalk
connections that limit their ability to walk to the
area.
Placemaking is about designing, planning, and
improving the quality of life. To illustrate place-
making, real-life examples were shown to identify
key elements needed to create a welcoming and
vibrant hub for Trophy Club, a Guiding Principle for
this area. These elements include plazas, outdoor
seating, dining, entertainment, and more. Of the
elements identified in the image, dining was ranked
the highest, walking was ranked second, and
outdoor seating was third. Although the majority
of responses collected online by residents did not
necessarily see the need for mixed-use housing
types, data shows that approximately 89% of
the current housing stock within Trophy Club is
single-family dwellings. Often, urban flats can be
misunderstood without explaining how they could
be integrated into an area thoughtfully and mini-
mizing impact on the community. During the open
house, further discussion occurred regarding urban
flats, and those residents seemed to support the
product type as long as it was market-driven and
designed to fit within the area.

Open House Meeting
Purpose
An open house meeting is helpful for active resi-
dents because it provides an opportunity to provide
feedback in person rather than using the online
survey. This type of input appeals to residents who
prefer to talk about the plan and ask questions
if needed. The boards used for the open house
meeting had the same content as the ones used
for the online survey.
Strategy
The two open house meetings were held on Monday,
November 18th, 2024, at 12:00-2:00 pm and
6:00-8:00 pm. Communication for the open house
included posting on the website, word of mouth,
and newsletter postings. Approximately 23 resi-
dents participated in this event and were asked
the same series of questions as the online survey.
The following information was gathered:
Community Engagement Open House
Community Engagement Boards
Community Engagement Board
Outcome
When asked about which guiding principles most
resonated with residents, the attendees provided
more detailed responses that highlighted certain
elements that they believed strongly align with the
goals of the plan. Those elements are:
1. Connectivity
2. Businesses
3. Community Spaces
4. Housing for 55+ Demographic
To further understand the site, residents had the
opportunity to identify areas on a map that are
strengths for the area. They identified the vacant
tract next to HG Sply Co, the area along SH 114,
and existing hotels as factors that strengthened
this area. In contrast to the strengths, resi-
dents noted that limited sidewalk connections
and extensions and difficult traffic flow were the
predominant weaknesses of the area. Specifi-
cally, along Trophy Wood Dr, residents expressed
concern for problematic traffic circulation into
the businesses and cutting through the site.
When asked what mobility method residents
preferred to use to access this area, about 43%
of respondents said walking. However, when
asked what was preventing them from using their
preferred mobility method, almost 65% said the
lack of connectivity within this area prevented
their use because they did not feel safe because
there were missing pedestrian connections, and
they did not want to walk within the street.
At the end of the questions, residents were asked
to analyze the different components contributing to
successful placemaking. These components were
shown as images of various site elements such
as enhanced streetscape, gathering areas, urban
streets, dining, urban flats, plazas, entertainment,
and retail. Residents then had the opportunity
to place a dot next to the placemaking elements
they thought were important and would like to
see in this area. The highest-ranking element was
walkability, followed by outdoor seating in second
place. Dining and plaza were tied for third. Although
urban flats ranked lower on the elements that
would be supported, residents seemed to support
it after discussing what this could look like and if
the market would support it. Additional comments
regarding a need for 55+ housing was also provided.DRAFT

Community Engagement Key
Themes
Community engagement and an understanding
of existing conditions are essential to creating a
successful plan that reflects the community’s vision
and establishes a solid foundation for the future.
Over the course of a month, valuable input was
gathered through stakeholder meetings, an online
survey, and an open house. This feedback was
carefully reviewed by the design team and advisory
board, leading to the identification of several key
themes that emerged from the community’s input.
The first major theme was connectivity. The commu-
nity voiced significant concern over the lack of
cohesive land use and limited pedestrian connec-
tivity throughout the area. Residents emphasized
that the current layout makes the space difficult to
navigate and discourages walking. They stressed
that if the area is to be redeveloped with more
entertainment, dining, and retail opportunities, it
must also include improved connections both phys-
ically and functionally to ensure ease of movement
and access.
The second theme was community gathering spaces.
As a family-oriented Town, Trophy Club residents
expressed a strong desire for a place where fami-
lies can spend time together, children can play,
and neighbors can come together to enjoy shared
hobbies, events, and social activities. These spaces
were seen as essential to fostering community spirit
and providing a welcoming environment for all ages.
Lastly, residents highlighted the need for thriving
businesses. Given the area’s proximity to SH 114
and its location near a few existing restaurants,
residents expressed a strong interest in seeing
additional restaurants and retail establishments.
Many shared that they currently travel to neigh-
boring towns/cities for these amenities and would
prefer to stay within Trophy Club for their dining
and shopping needs.

Connectivity
Connectivity refers to the design and integration of efficient networks, including streets, pedestrian pathways,
and other infrastructure, which facilitate seamless movement within a town. Well-connected networks
enable residents to travel freely between various areas and promote interaction between different land
uses through continuous, accessible connections.
Community Spaces
Community spaces allow residents to connect, interact, and feel a sense of belonging. They provide oppor-
tunities for individuals to come together, explore new possibilities, and engage with like-minded people
while enjoying the town’s unique offerings. Whether it is a small park or a farmers market, community
spaces create inclusive environments where people of all ages, backgrounds, and incomes can participate
and connect.DRAFT

Thriving Businesses
Successful and growing businesses positively impact their employees, customers, towns, and the environ-
ment. Thriving businesses attract more businesses and help establish a strong identity for the town. By
embracing integrated development and diverse portfolios, businesses can flourish while serving a wide
range of customer needs.

The Town initiated this Small Area Plan document
to serve as a comprehensive and forward-looking
guide for future development, growth, and revi-
talization within the 54-acres. This plan is more
than just a set of recommendations; it represents
a collective vision for the community’s future,
thoughtfully created to align with the area’s needs,
aspirations, and character.
Through the planning process, research and analysis
were conducted to understand the site’s opportu-
nities, constraints, and potential for transforma-
tion. Community input played a central role, with
stakeholders, residents, and local leaders actively
engaged through meetings, surveys, and work-
shops. Their feedback helped define key priorities
such as connectivity, placemaking, economic vitality,
and quality of life.
These findings were presented to and refined
in collaboration with Town staff, Town Council,
and EDC, ensuring that the plan is grounded in
community desires and municipal goals. Through
this integrated process, the unified vision of The
Grove at TC emerged, providing flexible option-
ality while promoting maximum activation and
ensuring vibrancy as the gateway into Trophy Club.
This chapter recaps those critical discussions and
provides insight into the creation of The Grove
at TC, illustrating how vision and strategy came
together to shape a bold, actionable framework
for the future of this important area.

Process Steps
The design team developed two concept plans:
Option 1 and Option 2. Both concepts align with
the three overarching themes—creating a gath-
ering space for residents, enhancing connectivity
through land use and infrastructure improvements,
and expanding the retail component. The team
felt it would be helpful to present two distinct
approaches: Option 1 represents a more reserved
vision that involves minimal infrastructure changes,
while Option 2 illustrates a full build-out of the
area, requiring more significant infrastructure
investments.
Both concepts also include a residential compo-
nent, which the team believes will help attract
developers and contribute to creating a vibrant,
active hub. According to the American Planning
Association, incorporating housing options into
mixed-use developments can expand economic
opportunities, promote walkable environments, and
support a network of services—all of which align
with the guiding principle to activate the space
and create a lively atmosphere and contribute to
long-term sustainability.1
These two options were presented separately
at an EDC and a City Council meeting. During
both meetings, consistent feedback emerged.
Members appreciated elements from each option
but expressed interest in seeing a third concept
that blended the most compelling components
of both. Additionally, both the EDC and Council

market demand. They emphasized the need for a
clear understanding of what aspects of the plan
are readily achievable versus those that are more
long-term goals, highlighting the importance of
combining the vision to financial reality.
Recognizing that this document is intended to
guide development and redevelopment within the
area for years to come, EDC and Council agreed
that Option 2, which demonstrated the area’s
maximum potential, would be the preferred path
forward, with some minor adjustments. However,
they wanted a clearer understanding of how this
vision could be implemented in phases.
During the joint meeting with EDC and Council,
the importance of choice and flexibility was a
central theme. As a result, the plan was divided
into three phases: short-term, medium-term, and
long-term. These phases were developed based
on land ownership, the potential impact of devel-
opment, and overall feasibility.
By organizing the plan in this way, EDC and Council
could better visualize the types of land uses and
approximate building square footage that could
be introduced over time. This phased approach
was further supported by a market analysis, which
outlined the financial opportunities available within
each phase and demonstrated the viability of the
overall strategy.

Market Analysis &
Fiscal Impact Study
Catalyst Commercial analyzed both the regional
market conditions as well as the fiscal impact to the
Town of Trophy Club from the development of the
vacant parcels of the Grove at TC. These findings
were compiled into a Market Analysis that can be
found in the appendix of this document. Below is
a summary of the Market Analysis findings.
To better understand the market dynamics of
the study area, a customer intercept study was
conducted to identify the distance traveled by
patrons of the site. Over 7,300 customer samples
were taken from HG Sply Co and The Original Roy
Hutchins Barbeque of customers who visited four
times or more in a one-year period. A geography, a
Primary Trade Area (PTA), equivalent to a 10-minute
drive time was established that captures 65% of
the closest customer samples. This 10-minute
geography is where additional development in the
study area can expect to draw future customers
and gives a demographic profile of that customer.
This PTA extends west to Interstate 35W, east to
the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and
south as far as FM 1709 in the eastern half of the
PTA. Grapevine Lake affects the draw of customers
from the north, and the PTA extends along US
Route 377 to FM 1171.
This Primary Trade Area currently has just under
54,000 residents with median household incomes of
$160,881, which are expected to grow to $175,534.
Retail spending originating from residents in the
PTA is expected to increase by $111.2M from
2024 to 2029, increasing the capacity in the PTA
for additional retail to capture this spending. It is
estimated that the study area could capture an
additional 14,821 square feet annually of new retail
space without oversupplying the market. Addition-
ally, expected regional growth and demographic
change shows that there is additional capacity for
housing and office space. It is estimated that this
study area could capture (annually) up to 175 units
of residential and 11,056 square feet of office space
without oversupplying the market.
A fiscal impact analysis was conducted to under-
stand the fiscal benefits to the Town from the
conceptual program in the form of sales and prop-
erty taxes. For this analysis, only the conceptual
development on the vacant parcels of the study
area was included, and any potential redevelopment
of parcels within the study area was excluded.
The total area of vacant parcels in the study area
is just over seven acres. On these parcels, the
preferred development plan shows nearly 103,000
square feet of retail and restaurant uses, 22,500
square feet of office uses, and 137 residential
units. The projected taxable value of this program
is $85.7M. This would yield a $974,000 annual tax
revenue (sales and property tax) to the Town of
Trophy Club. Based on the market assumptions in
the analysis and the building areas in the concept
plan, the yield from each product type is greater
than the assumed development costs.
Highlights
• Projected Taxable Value: $86M
• Projected Town Annual Sales Tax
Revenue: $618,000
• Projected Town Annual Tax Revenue:
$974,023
• Projected 10- Year Town Annual Tax

Final Development Plan
As previously mentioned, providing choices and
flexibility is critical for responding to changing
market conditions. The primary goal of this plan-
ning document is to serve as a guiding framework
rather than a finalized, rigid plan. Developing the
fiscal impact summary based on the preferred plan
at its maximum capacity helped paint a realistic
picture of both feasibility and potential outcomes.
It was important to recognize that the removal of
even a single land use could significantly impact
the property tax revenue the Town might receive.
Similarly, lacking a diverse portfolio of uses could
leave the area more vulnerable to economic shifts,
potentially leading to reduced revenue.
While land uses, building square footage, and land
values were assigned to the preferred concept to
create a realistic foundation, the fiscal assess-
ment was intended as a planning exercise not to
prescribe specific uses to individual parcels, but
rather to analyze a possible scenario program on
the vacant parcels only.
Both Council and EDC appreciated the market anal-
ysis, as it further illustrated the financial opportuni-
ties this area could offer. However, they emphasized
that the plan should ultimately provide flexibility
and multiple opportunities for developers rather
than limit future possibilities.
In collaboration with Town staff, Town Council,
and the EDC, a preferred plan was established
that builds upon the existing framework while
introducing key design elements to guide future
development and redevelopment. While the guiding
principles define the overarching vision, the objec-
tives serve as actionable steps toward achieving
those goals. The following plans show how those
objectives can be achieved:
EDC Meeting Figure 4.5: The Grove at TC Development Plan
Development Plan
Implementing appropriate vertical mixed-use development, along with supporting infrastructure and area
parking, is essential for creating a dynamic and efficient urban environment. Vertical mixed-use design
where residential, commercial, and office spaces are integrated within the same building or development
maximizes land use and fosters a walkable, vibrant community. The plan looked at incorporating different
land uses and having ownership residential components to the area to encourage activity around the
clock and increase foot traffic to help support local businesses. Creating a place for people to live, work,
and play will help contribute to the success of the area.

Objective
The Grove at TC is a strong economic
driver by increasing sales and property
tax revenue.
Objective
Provide a strong branding theme that is
cohesive between proposed and existing
properties.
Conducting a market analysis provided critical
insights into what types of development the area
could realistically support, serving as the founda-
tion for informed planning decisions. The findings
were used to test the preferred plan through a
feasibility study, ensuring that the vision aligned
with economic realities and market demand. This
analysis played a key role in shaping both the
design and implementation strategies, identifying
opportunities that would attract investment and
community interest. To maximize revenue potential,
the development must be structured to generate
strong sales and property tax revenue and attract
key stakeholders to the area. The Town can look
at offering incentives to help promote activation
of vacant parcels.
Attracting key stakeholders begins with estab-
lishing a strong, recognizable identity and creating
distinctive spaces that draw residents from all over.
This identity can be cultivated through strategic
branding initiatives such as signature events and
iconic signage for The Grove at TC to set the
area apart. In addition, implementing thoughtful
design standards, including architectural guide-
lines, setback requirements, landscaping features,
and height limits, will help create a cohesive and
visually appealing environment that supports the
development’s unique character.

12’ Trail
Objective
Prioritizes pedestrian & golf cart friendly
infrastructure to increase connectivity
both within the Grove & the surrounding
neighborhoods.
Option: Trail runs along the northern property line.
Pedestrian Plan
As density increases, more people will utilize the streets, sidewalks, and trail systems. Although shared-use
paths are available in some sections, they are not always the preferred routes for pedestrians and cyclists due
to issues such as inadequate separation from traffic, inconsistent sidewalks, excessive noise and heat, and
distance from retail destinations. To address these challenges, the plan emphasizes improving connectivity
by promoting multi-modal transportation and strategically placing buildings to create pedestrian-friendly
streetscapes. Enhancements such as continuous sidewalks, well-connected trails, and alternative street
configurations can help encourage active transportation. However, infrastructure alone is not enough—users
must also feel safe and comfortable. Reducing noise, mitigating heat, and addressing slope challenges can
significantly increase the likelihood of these routes being used. Additional strategies to enhance comfort
and safety include reducing vehicle speed, introducing physical buffers between pedestrians and vehicles,
planting shade trees, and using building placements to foster a walkable, inviting urban environment.
Option: Creates an urban streetscape but creating
a more centric path weaving through the building
clusters.DRAFT

Vehicular Plan
Utilizing the SH 114 frontage, buildings should be strategically positioned to maximize exposure to the
frontage road, enhancing visibility for prospective businesses. Thoughtful building placement plays a crucial
role in attracting tenants, as visibility and accessibility are key factors in business success. In addition,
driveway locations were carefully planned to improve traffic circulation and establish strong connections
throughout the area. The plan looked to emphasize increased accessibility by designing safer travel routes
and reducing congestion, ultimately creating more efficiency.

Primary Streets
Fire Lane
Objective
Leverages SH 114 frontages to

Objective
The Grove at TC is an intentional gathering space that serves as a signature gateway to Trophy Club.
Trophy Wood Drive is the primary gateway into Trophy Club for many residents, serving as the only direct
connection from SH 114 to the residential neighborhoods on the east side. Functioning as a central spine,
it supports the town’s internal circulation with numerous secondary streets branching off, creating a natural
flow of traffic throughout the area. By enhancing Trophy Wood Drive with improved streetscaping, signage,
lighting, and traffic-calming features, the experience of entering Trophy Club can be elevated into a true
sense of arrival. Creating additional connections from Trophy Wood Drive to surrounding streets within
and around The Grove at TC will not only improve overall mobility but also encourage more purposeful
vehicular movement through the site. This enhanced connectivity ensures that visitors and residents are
guided through the entirety of the development, increasing visibility for local businesses, activating public
spaces, and supporting economic and community vitality. The result is a more cohesive and navigable
environment that transforms Trophy Wood Drive into both a functional corridor and a signature experi-
ence for the town.

Open Space Plan
Incorporation of a prominent anchor that serves as a focal point for the area helps activate the space
and generate consistent foot traffic for people to use how they please. This anchor was identified as
Town Hall. Town Hall is a central gathering space and reinforces the community’s identity and pride. The
open space in front of Town Hall shall be identified for public use, events, and gatherings to activate a
lively atmosphere. With Trophy Wood Dr being the main access point into the east side of Trophy Club,
positioning the open space in front of Town Hall creates a visual draw to the area and allows people to
engage when they see activity there.

Implementation
Guidelines
The Town of Trophy Club Small Area Plan outlines
a vision for redevelopment and future opportu-
nities within the area. Achieving this vision will
require collaboration between the Town, the
Economic Development Corporation, and the
broader community. As the Town moves forward
with implementation over the next decade, new
trends, opportunities, and challenges will arise,
making flexibility essential in prioritizing and
advancing projects.
The implementation guidelines are intended
to support decision making by Town staff and
elected officials. The implementation matrix
details each action item, identifies the guiding
principle it supports, assigns responsibility for
execution, and establishes its priority to help
ensure strategic and effective progress.
Some key questions are identified below to help
the Town make an informed decision as projects
are identified or new projects emerge for imple-
mentation.
Key Considerations
1. Guiding Principles Compatibility
At the beginning of this process, five guiding
principles were established to serve as the
goals of this process and the overall plan. The
Grove at TC represents a welcoming and vibrant
hub, enhanced connectivity and accessibility,
thoughtful and integrated development, a signa-
ture public amenity and community gathering
space, and maximize economic impact and
branding. Using these principles as the bench-
mark for every proposed project in the area
ensures that The Grove at TC remains true to
the Trophy Club vision.
• Does this project achieve one or more of the
guiding principles for the Town?
Key Themes
1. Meeting Town Goals
2. Serve Community Needs
3. Economic Resiliency
2. Community Needs
Through community engagement, residents
shared their priorities and concerns, which
directly informed the preferred plan and shaped
these implementation recommendations. To
achieve sustainable growth and maintain a high-
quality place that residents will embrace, their
feedback must remain central to every imple-
mentation decision.
• How will this project have an overall impact
on the community?
• Does it address any of the concerns or needs,
raised through the community feedback of
this small area plan?
3. Economic Advancement
Long-term economic/fiscal benefits should be
evaluated for development or redevelopment
projects within The Grove at TC. This will ensure
alignment with the Town’s economic goals to
enhance the quality of life for residents while
also maintaining competitiveness within market.
The Town should prioritize investments and stra-
tegic partnerships that maximize benefits for all
stakeholders and strengthens the community’s
future.
• What is the fiscal impact of the project?
• How does the project contribute to the
economic goals of Trophy Club?
• How does the project demonstrate economic
resiliency, ensuring it can adapt to changing
market conditions?

Executive Summary
Trophy Club is located in one of the fastest-growing areas of the Dallas-Fort
Worth Metroplex (DFW) and is positioned along the State Highway 114 corridor.
Trophy Club's position between the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and
Fort Worth's Alliance Airport gives unique access to a large daytime workforce
population. Additionally, this corridor's growth as a location for new corporate
office, including Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Deloitte, Goosehead Insurance, and
Sabre, brings additional daytime activity to the region.
Currently, a majority of the development is along State Highway 114 at the major
intersections of Trophy Club Drive West, Trophy Club Drive, and Trophy Wood
Drive. Most of the development is neighborhood-oriented and consists of retail
stores, strip developments, and convenience-oriented pad sites. This corridor
functions as the major corridor between north Fort Worth area to the Dallas-Fort
Worth International Airport and east into Dallas County.
With few remaining development sites, this initiative sets forth an innovative and
citizen-led process to maximize corridor objectives and address underserved
needs that can be satisfied in a context-sensitive way. As part of this process, the
planning team identified a number of opportunities to link existing infrastructure
and coordinate existing businesses with innovative concepts that can integrate
placemaking and walkability while advancing other economic development
priorities. Ultimately this initiative will help create additional economic benefit and
opportunities for the Town, and maximize the new accessibility afforded by recent
and ongoing State Highway 114 improvements.
The study area creates a unique opportunity to create a comprehensive strategy
to increase sales tax, increase primary jobs, enhance Trophy Club's identity in the
region, and create additional gravity to harness the region's corporate visitors and
regional consumers.
Over the next ten years, the market shows demand for 148,000 square feet of retail
and up to 110,000 square feet of office that Trophy Club could capture in this study
area, in addition to future entertainment, hospitality, or other amenities.
To maximize the opportunity, future activities should integrate the following
principles:
• Promote quality of life
• Leverage and strengthen infrastructure
• Support economic development
• Expand business opportunities
• Function as an amenity to adjacent neighborhoods
• Increase regional gravity and identity

Northeast Tarrant County and Southern Denton County
The Town of Trophy Club is located in northeast Tarrant County and southern
Denton County. The Study Area for this Small Area Plan is located in the southeast
portion of the Town at the intersection of State Highway 114 and Trophy Wood
Drive. Trophy Club benefits from regional access to DFW International Airport,
proximity to Fort Worth, and Dallas, and a strong base of talent and neighborhoods.
State Highway 114 is the main corridor that serves the Town.
Trophy Club
The Town of Trophy Club is a bedroom community that serves the greater region
with an educated workforce. Approximately 97.8%of residents commute outside
Trophy Club for work with an average commute time of 25 minutes. Trophy
Club saw significant population growth from 2000 to 2020, growing from 6,350
to 13,688, but growth has tapered as the Town reaches build-out. Most of the
commercial uses are located along State Highway 114 at its intersections with
Trophy Lake Drive, Trophy Club Drive, and Trophy Wood Drive. These serve both
the local residents and the nearby regional market.
Trophy Club households have strong incomes that are expected to continue to
grow over the next five years. The current median household income of $179,226
is expected to grow to $200,001 by 2029. Similarly, the average household income
of $209,617 is expected to grow to $250,243 by 2029.
Additionally, Trophy Club is home to a well-educated workforce. Currently, 67.7%
of residents aged 25 or older hold a bachelor's degree or a graduate/professional
degree. 96.9% of residents aged 25 or older have a high school diploma.
Trophy Club housing is overwhelmingly single family detached at 97.0% of all
housing units. Most of these housing units are owner-occupied (87.7%) and the
Town of Trophy Club is expected to maintain this balance in the near term.

Retail
Dallas-Fort Worth Market
Across the United States, retail markets have failed to keep up with tenant demand
for new space, keeping vacancy low and contributing to rent growth. Increased
consumer spending has kept demand for retail goods and services high, but
increased development costs make it difficult to deliver space at competitive
rents while increased operating costs make retailers increasingly selective of their
new sites. A general lack of available space has kept leasing activity somewhat
constrained.
The Dallas-Fort Worth retail market remains strong with increased tenant demand
for space. Strong demand has enabled the market to absorb 30 million square
feet of space in the last two years. Most of the activity has been in the Dallas and
Fort Worth suburbs. Over the last 12 months, Dallas-Fort Worth has seen the most
net absorption of any major US market, at 3.5 million square feet. Approximately
70% of these spaces are pre-leased before delivery. Over the last five years,
demand outpaced supply, increasing rates and decreasing vacancy for both new
and existing inventory. This has resulted in elevated YOY rent growth of 4.5% or
greater for ten consecutive quarters, which creates a favorable climate for the
development of more space.
Trophy Club/Roanoke/Westlake retail submarket
The total Trophy Club/Roanoke/Westlake retail submarket comprises 1.71 million
square feet of retail inventory. The largest class is Power Center, which is comprised
of 434,964 square feet. Vacancy is 4.8% in power centers, and there have been
10,000 square feet of negative absorption in this asset class over the past year. The
second greatest asset class in the submarket is Neighborhood Center at 333,827
square feet. Vacancy is 2.9% in Neighborhood Centers, and 5,700 square feet
have been absorbed in this asset class over the past year. Strip Centers represent
145,198 square feet. Vacancy is 17.5% in strip centers, and there have been 17,000
square feet of negative absorption in this asset class over the past year. General
Retail is 776,358 square feet. The vacancy rate for General Retail is 4.4%, which
is slightly lower than the overall market. There have been 23,000 square feet of
negative absorption in this asset class over the past year. This represents roughly
half of all vacancies.
This submarket has a total vacancy rate of 6.0% across all asset classes. This
represents a 2.8% increase since last year. Due to turnover, there have been 47,000
square feet of negative absorption, and with the increased cost of development,
there have only been 950 square feet of net deliveries so far in 2024, a single-tenant
building on US Route 377 in Roanoke. With lower inventory, rents have increased
4.6% in the past 12 months and are currently around $27.00 per SF overall. While
there has been negative absorption, to make up for a lack of deliveries in 2024,
there are nearly 11,000 square feet under construction with completion nearing the
end of 2024. Additionally, there are 30,000 square feet of retail planned to start
construction at the end of 2025 in Entrada in Westlake.
Just outside of this submarket to the east in Southlake there are two potential retail
developments that could compete with the study area.
• Carillon Parc: On the northeast corner of SH 114 and N White Chapel Blvd, this
project will include retail, restaurants, office, a hotel, and residential.
• Southeast corner of SH 114 and Kirkwood Blvd: Potential for small format
retail and restaurant, though the project is proposed and does not yet have
entitlements.
Current vacancy is higher than its trailing three-year average of 4.5%. However,
this figure is lower than the Dallas-Fort Worth market trailing three-year average
of 4.7%. Rents have increased 16.0% over the past three years, higher than the
Dallas-Fort Worth market average of 15.3%.

Trophy Club
The Trophy Club retail market has approximately 202,000 square
feet of inventory. The three primary centers within Trophy Club are:
• Trophy Club Town Center: This is the newest mixed-use shopping
center located on the northeast corner of State Highway 114 and
Trophy Club Drive with a mix of national retailers, local shops,
destination restaurants, a 110 room hotel, 250 units of urban
residential, and 39 townhomes.
• The Shoppes of Trophy Club: This center is located at State
Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive, adjacent to Trophy Club
Town Center, and includes various strip centers, Meat-U-
Anywhere BBQ, and 7-Eleven.
• Trophy Club Plaza: This is a Tom Thumb grocery anchored
neighborhood commercial center with additional neighborhood
serving uses including Starbucks, Verizon, Bank of America,
and Walgreens. Trophy Club Plaza is located at the entrance to
Trophy Club. With frontage on Highway 114, this shopping center
helps create a regional trade area serving the local market as
well as Westlake, Roanoke, North Keller & Southlake.
The Trophy Club market has approximately 12,000 square feet of
vacancy, a 5.9% vacancy rate. There have been 3,600 square feet of
net absorption over the last 12 months. The market asking rent is $28.56, which
is slightly higher than the submarket.
To understand retail demand, Catalyst Commercial looked at the estimated
capture of market activity by Trophy Club. This capture is calculated on the
forecasted market growth in the Primary Trade Area which is a function of both
population growth and increases in spending on retail goods.
An increase in population and household incomes in the Primary Trade Area
results in an increase in retail spending of $111.2M from 2024 to 2029. Trophy
Club could expect to capture 20% of this new retail need, resulting in an annual
retail demand for Trophy Club of 14,821 square feet.

Trade Area Methodology
Trophy Club's Primary Trade Area (PTA)
was based on customer intercepts at
existing retail within Trophy Club. The
last 5% intercepts were discarded as
outliers. The remaining 95% were used
as the sample pool. Using 65% of the
sample pool, Trophy Club has a PTA
equal to a 10-minute drive time.
The Trophy Club PTA captures a
population of 53,997.

Office
Economic uncertainty and a changing workforce model over the last few years has
changed the dynamics of the office market. Net absorption of office space across
the United States has been negative since the beginning of 2020. Across Dallas-
Fort Worth and the nation, companies are becoming ever more efficient with their
office space, and the average lease size has dropped 17% when compared to
leasing activity in 2017-2019.
Since 2020, many companies have delayed or canceled renewals and/or
expansion. During this time there has been a flight of office users to quality, as
companies attempt to provide additional amenities to attract employees. A large
portion of new office construction within Dallas-Fort Worth, particularly larger
format corporate office, is located along State Highway 121 and the Dallas North
Tollway in the cities of The Colony, Frisco, Plano, and Allen. This submarket of
Dallas-Fort Worth has experienced, and is projected to continue to experience,
explosive population and economic growth.
The overall slowdown of office space development within the Dallas-Fort Worth
market, combined with steady demand for quality office space, has resulted in
fewer options for new, high-quality office space that has the amenities and location
that make the space attractive to tenants. The current construction pipeline in
Dallas-Fort Worth is near a ten year low which will affect the office market for
some time due to long development timelines for ground-up development.
The mixed-use environment of the study area makes it an attractive location for
small-format office. HG Sply Co and The Original Roy Hutchins Barbeque are
frequented by office employees walking on the State Highway 114 sidewalk to get
lunch, despite the journey being relatively unfriendly to pedestrians. Connectivity
to development to the east and including office space within the study area will
only increase the daytime activity that will spend money at restaurants and retail
within.
Capture from Market Growth
The Trophy Club PTA population is expected to grow a total of 2.1% over the next
five years. Looking at small-format office as a function of population and economic
growth in the PTA, it is estimated that Trophy Club could capture and absorb 7%
of this market growth, resulting in an annual demand from market growth of 2,283
square feet.
Capture from Market Turnover
As office space in the marketplace ages and the needs of users change, office
spaces reach the end of their useful life and new space needs to be developed
to fill the gaps created by aged space. Many factors in office space decisions
have changed in the last few decades with changes in technology and the advent
of different working formats such as a hybrid or remote workforce model. It is
estimated that 2% of office space becomes obsolete annually (a conservatively
assumed 50-year lifecycle for new space) and Trophy Club can capture 7% of the
new demand created by market turnover, resulting in an annual demand of 8,773
square feet.
The combined annual office demand from regional market growth and turnover is
11,056 square feet.DRAFT

Program Justification
The table below is a comparison between the existing market supply (or
inventory) and the demand that this site could capture in a ten year period.
The results show a substantial amount of availability in this market over the ten
year time horizon. This concept (Concept 2B) demonstrates how the site can
accommodate a portion of future demand.
The total retail program is forecasted to be absorbed within fourteen years,
the office program is forecasted to be absorbed within three years, and the
residential program is forecasted to be absorbed within one year based on
current market conditions. As this site matures, these absorption forecasts
would likely shorten, meaning the proposed program would be absorbed
faster than forecasted.
Concept 2BConcept 2B
Note: This analysis was conducted on the conceptual program (Concept 2, minus building 9) proposed for
undeveloped sites only. Redevelpment sites (buildings 3, 4, 18, 19, 20, and 21) and existing uses (buildings 2, 6, 8, 10, 11,
16, and 17) were excluded from this analysis. Building 9 was excluded from Concept 2B.

Market Test
To understand the viability of the conceptual program, a market test was conducted
to evaluate if the estimated cost of the project could be justified based on existing
market rents. The analysis was conducted on the preferred concept, Concept 2
(excluding Building 9).
The land area shown in the calculations below are based on a proportionate share
of use types within each building shown on the concept. Nearby comparables
for land values ($18.00 PSF) and construction cost assumptions were used to
calculate total estimated development costs and market building rent assumptions
were used to calculate potential income.
Net operating income was calculated from projected gross income (rents times
rentable building area, between $30.00 and $33.00 PSF annually for retail, office,
and dining and $2.30 PSF per month for residential) less operating expenses and
vacancy. Net operating incomes by product type were divided by market cap rates
assumptions (between 5.0% and 8.5% depending on product type) to estimate
total value.
The conclusion of this analysis was to subtract the estimated cost of development
from the estimated value of the development at buildout to understand potential
profit or gap by product type. Based on these assumptions, the yield from each
product type is greater than the assumed development costs.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed conceptual program has a number of direct fiscal benefits to the
Town in the form of sales tax revenue from new retail and dining sales as well as
property tax revenue from new retail, office, dining, and residential building value.
Property tax revenues from business personal property were not included in this
analysis.
Direct fiscal benefits at buildout of property and sales tax revenue to the Town are
estimated to be $974K. This analysis does not include fiscal impacts to other taxing
entities such as Tarrant County, the school district, or any special taxing entities.
In addition to these direct fiscal benefits, the addition of residential and office
space to this project will bring additional retail and dining spending (indirect fiscal
impacts) in other areas of the Town.

Board 4: To further understand the site, residents
had the opportunity to identify areas on a map that
are strengths for the area. They identified green
space, the area location along SH 114, and existing
hotels were factors that gave this area strength.
In contrast to the strengths, residents were then
asked to identify constraints of the area. The
majority noted that limited sidewalk connections
and extensions, as well as difficult traffic flow,
were the predominant weaknesses of the area.
Specifically, along Trophy Wood Dr residents
expressed concern for problematic traffic
circulation into the businesses and cutting through
the site.
