Development

Monarch development planned for west Flower Mound
which had townhomes being built first. He was worried about getting stuck with the townhomes without the commercial aspect of the project. Development regulations require 150,000 square feet of commercial space must be built out before the first 150 townhomes can be built. Another 150,000 square feet of developed com- mercial space will unlock the developers ability to build the rest of the townhomes. Town officials also agreed to some exceptions for the project, such as reduced setbacks and increased maximum lot coverage. Looking ahead Schmitz said that some of the development may be complete by 2027 or 2028. “Previously, deals have had a tough time getting through Flower Mound,” Schmitz said. “They’re known to be tough but ... we’re going to do our part to make it an A-plus development.”
A new 200-acre mixed-used development, called Monarch, is slated for Flower Mound. The details Flower Mound Town Council unanimously approved the development in early January. The Monarch project will sit near the intersection of Denton Creek Boulevard and Cleveland Gibbs Road. It will include more than 270 townhomes, over 470,000 square feet of retail and restaurant development, park land, pollinators and deten- tion pond areas. The developer and applicant behind the proj- ect, Eric Schmitz and the design firm McAdams, were seeking some changes, including a rezoning to allow residential and certain commercial uses.
