ROCKWALL, TX-An estimated $25-million project will break ground in the spring as a Dallas developer transforms eight suburban acres into an urban mix of office, retail and residential product on a Lake Ray Hubbard overlook with horizon views of the Dallas skyline.

Tom Stone of TF Stone Cos. has just bought the acreage from the Cain family after getting the city’s blessing for a revised project for the land. Designed by Humphreys & Partners Architects LP of Dallas, the four-story Rockwall Commons, with end caps for 2,500 sf of street-level retail, will contain 202 multifamily units. A sister building will hold 25,000 sf of office and another 5,000 sf of retail while a third structure, roughly 10,000 sf, will house all retail.

Greg Faulkner, president of Humphreys & Partners, tells GlobeSt.com that mixed-use products are starting to crop up in the suburbs, but Rockwall Commons is unique for its design and a lakefront positioning at the highest point in Rockwall County. The project is carrying a 14-month construction schedule.
