Flower Mound Town Council approves $583K contract for arts center
Looking ahead
Flower Mound officials said they are hopeful the arts center will bring more traffic to the River Walk area, having worked on the project for several years. “This is going to bring a lot of vibrancy to that area,” Mayor Cheryl Moore said.
Progress on a proposed arts center within Flower Mound’s River Walk development is being made with the selection of the architecture team for the project. Council unanimously approved a pre-design services contract with architecture firms Hoefer Welker and Bora Architects Oct. 6. Flower Mound and Denton County officials selected a design team in June, said Brian Waltenburg, Flower Mound’s director of public works. “In scoping the design, we realized that while we know generally what the facility is going to be, the workshops and community engagement is going to help determine [the facility’s programming],” he said. “We don’t know what the design is until we do all of this.”
The pre-design contract will cost Flower Mound $583,500, according to town documents, and will include:
Updating the existing market assessment completed in 2020 Updating the existing business plan completed in 2021
Phase timeline 1 Pre-design: 15 weeks 2 Schematic design: 12 weeks 3 Design development: 16 weeks 4 Construction documents: 18 weeks 5 Permitting, guaranteed maximum price generation and bidding: 18 weeks 6 Construction: 24 months (expected spring 2029 opening)
