Limited land, rising property values
Local land shortage fuels real estate surge
The Estates of Pemberton development in Southlake includes a total of six lots. As the area reaches buildout, it is becoming harder to nd land to develop new homes.

Southlake had 54 new homes completed. Compara- tively, Flower Mound had 177 homes built in 2024. “[Grapevine] had a handful of applications for inll lots … or redevelopment of an area,” Grape- vine Director of Planning Services Erica Marohnic said. “I think [people want to be here] because it has a small-town feel amid cities.”

Stadium, Globe Life Field and Texas Live! will move into District 3 from District 2. Krause said the majority of District 3 residents are in favor of redistricting, including Colleyville Mayor Bobby Lindamood, Keller Mayor Armin Mizani and Southlake Mayor Shawn McCaskill. “Tarrant County has not [redistricted] in the last 15 years [like] other surrounding counties,” Lindamood said. “It is important to evaluate what changes should be made given the substantial growth of the county during that time.” The backstory When redistricting came up in 2021, that com- missioners court voted against redrawing district lines, saying the voter balance was fair, according to previous reporting. This marks the first time since 2011 that the lines have been redrawn.
The Tarrant County Commissioners Court approved the remapping of district lines in a 3-2 vote June 3, with Commissioners Matt Krause, Manny Ramirez and County Judge Tim O’Hare voting in favor of the new map. District 1 Commis- sioner Alisa Simmons and District 2 Roderick Miles voted against the ordinance. What happened? The newly approved redistricting map is expected to bolster Republican prospects in upcoming elections. Map 7 was approved out of seven options presented to the court May 30. District 3 , which is represented by Krause and includes the cities of Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Keller and parts of Fort Worth, will now dip into what was District 1 and District 2.

What you need to know The program, which was approved by City Council during its regular meeting June 3, states the $35 gift cards must be used by Aug. 31. They were mailed to households at the end of June. A $50 gift card has also been shared with those in need and with residents who have an immediate family member serving in the military. These are given out by the Ministerial Alliance, city documents state. Funding for this program is through the city’s Tax Increment Finance Funds.

GCISD approves teacher, staff pay increase with FY 2025-26 budget
District officials said the 1.5% increase was the only option that kept the budget balanced for next fiscal year. The approved raise applies to teachers and staff who are not covered by the state’s teacher incentive allotment program, which gives teachers with three or more years of experience pay increases. The pay raise was a part of House Bill 2, which is expected to give GCISD $6.1 million and require $3.88 million go toward the teacher allotment program. The current situation Board President Cameron Bryan attributed the district’s budget deficit to declining enrollment and insufficient state funding. He said a Voter Approved Tax Rate Election, or a VATRE, Nov. 4 could help balance the deficit. The district plans to ask voters to increase the portion of the tax rate that creates revenue for school districts from 5 pennies to 8 pennies per $100 of a property’s appraised value.
The Carroll ISD board of trustees adopted the district’s 2025-26 budget during the June 23 meeting for $162 million with a $5 million deficit. CISD plans for $5M deficit for 2025-26 budget The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees approved a balanced budget for fiscal year 2025-26 during their June 16 meeting. What happened? A 1.5% pay increase for teachers and staff was approved by the board 6-1 with Trustee Matt Foust in opposition. “I have an [abiding] confidence and faith in our educators and, for my part, I’m not in a position where I can support anything less than at least [a 2% increase],” Foust said.

business our way. It’s the perfect fit.” Wood added that the developer worked to make sure the new resort has did not disrupt the natural landscaping of the area and kept some privacy around the property. “They kept a lot of the tree scape and a lot of the landscaping that makes this property beautiful,” Wood said. “One of the reasons why we feel really comfortable with NuCiti is that they’re looking to incorporate that into the development.”
The Letter of Intent includes an 18-month feasibility period for the developer to acquire funding for the property to secure entitlements from Colleyville City Council and work with the hotel partner to bring the package to the council members for approval, Wood said. “I’m so excited [city officials] have worked so hard for this,” Council Member Ben Graves said. “It could be a beautiful entrance, open space, a little bit of everything. [It could] drive some economic
City officials will immediately work on a purchase-sell agreement with NuCiti Capitals to bring back to City Council for approval, Wood said. If that is approved, the clock will start for the 540-day feasibility study, which could bring the project to fruition within the next year and a half, Wood said. The developer also showed interest in purchasing 15 additional acres of the property to add another 120 hotel rooms at a later time, Wood said. “We all hear people saying they’re looking for places in Colleyville to eat and do things,” Council Member Kimberly Holt Gunderson said. “That’s exactly what this is. They don’t want to go to Southlake, Grapevine or other places all the time. This is the best of both worlds.”
Plans for a new resort-style hotel in Colleyville are underway after City Council approved of the initial agreement with the developer June 4. A Letter of Intent with NuCiti Capital Partners, a real estate development firm, was sent to the city for the purchase of 22 acres on the corner of SH 26 and John McCain Road. The intent is for NuCiti Capital Partners to purchase the land for $9.85 million in order to build a luxury resort-style hotel. The city purchased the 15 acres at the front of the property in 2019 for $4.4 million and then the 22 acres in 2020 for $4.1 million, Assistant City Manager Mark Wood said. “We’ve been very selective,” Mayor Bobby Lindamood said. “We want what’s right for this property to come in. The ideas and the quality of what is fixing to go in here; this [developer] is talking about a five-star hotel.”

Weinberger’s Deli reveals Grapevine expansion plan
CODY THORNCOMMUNITY IMPACT
He said some notable dierences the expanded space will have include kiosks for ordering if customers want to skip the line, the deli case with freshly cut meats will be relocated and the fountain drink station will move to the new space. Weinberger said there will be a hole cut through the front of the store that will allow passage from the existing location to the new dining area since the stores don’t perfectly line up. What’s next The changes will also aect the menu, which already features more than 120 sandwiches, according to its website. Weinberger said the business will be opening up earlier and start serving breakfast and that wraps will be added to the menu, as well. “I’ve got some crazy breakfast sandwiches,” he said. Weinberger uses his house as a lab of sorts, mix- ing up dierent ingredients and meats for dierent sandwiches. The only thing left is to come up with names for them. Weinberger’s Deli’s north wall is covered with caricature of people who have sandwiches named after them, including the Mark Cuban, which is named after the former Dallas Mavericks owner. The Schleta’s Grinder is named after current Grapevine Mayor Pro Tem Paul Schleta and the il Papa Leo is for current Pope Leo XIV, who went to school with Weinberger in Chicago. Another sandwich is Garin’s 4G, named after Grapevine Economic Development Director Garin Giacomarro, a regular at the store who has held
Weinberger’s Deli will be expanding its footprint after more than 20 years in Grapevine. Owner Dan Weinberger has been serving sandwiches at the corner of Main Street and West College Street since 2002. If his proposal is approved by Grapevine City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission later this summer, he plans to expand his eatery into the space next door. The location is currently occupied by Little Orange Fish, a children’s clothing boutique. Amy Fisher, the owner of Little Orange Fish, conrmed her store will be moving but a new location has not been nalized. Weinberger called the expansion work “patching and painting” during an exclusive interview with

Weinberger’s Deli opens each day at 10 a.m.. By noon, vehicles driving north on Main Street can often see a line of people standing outside the restaurant’s doors to get inside. The expansion plans include adding seating in the space currently occupied by the boutique. “Obviously, we don’t have enough seats in our shop to accommodate everybody who comes in,” Weinberger said. “We always get ve stars on our food, ve stars on our service and one star on seating. We’re going to open that up over there.” A closer look The additional seating is one of a few changes that will be seen if Weinberger’s plans are approved.

State
BY CODY THORN
Local representatives co-sponsor bills to create state agencies
State Sen. Tan Parker, RFlower Mound, and State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, RSouthlake, both backed bills that created two new state agencies this year. The details Parker represents District 12, which covers portions of Dallas, Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties. Capriglione represents House District 98, which includes the cities of Keller, Westlake, Trophy Club, Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville and Euless. They were both sponsors to create the Texas Cyber Command and the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. On June 2, Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 150, establishing the Texas Cyber Command at The University of Texas at San Antonio. The com- mand center will take over much of Texas’ digital security responsibilities, according to previous Community Impact reporting. It becomes eective Sept. 1, according to online documents. Zooming in On his Facebook page, Parker said the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas would help the 459,000 Texans diagnosed with Alz- heimer’s Disease. The state will provide money for research on and prevention and treatment of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and related cognitive disorders by trans- ferring $3 billion from state general revenue to the DPRIT fund, according to state documents. In 2024, approximately 10% of Tarrant County residents aged 45 years and older reported expe- riencing confusion or memory loss in the past 12 months that was happening more often or getting
worse, according to the Tarrant County Public Health website. In addition, 11.6% of women 45 and older in Tarrant County reported subjective cognitive decline and 8.6% of men 45 and older reported subjective cognitive decline. Tarrant County ranks higher than Texas and United States in Alzheimer deaths per 100,000-person population, according to Tarrant County Public Health. The big picture On April 24, House members voted 121-23 to approve Senate Bill 5. The bill would create the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, according to previous reporting. The institute’s objective is to advance research and prevention strategies for dementia-related disorders, including Alzheimer’s, the bill states. The bill is expected to take eect Dec. 1.

Keller Williams Realtor Newman Dalton speaks on DFW housing market Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, changes in the housing market have contrib- uted to trends that may favor buyers, industry professionals say. In an interview with Community Impact , Realtor Newman Dalton of Keller Williams Realty in South- lake discussed some of the changes the market is seeing this summer for both buyers and sellers. Dalton posts content on his YouTube page, The Roof List, looking at the DFW housing market. What have you seen so far in the past ve to six months in the dierence in the housing market? We’re not necessarily going through a recovery in terms of ... going to go back to where things were in 2020, 2021, 2022; I think we’re actually going through more of a correction. It doesn’t look as
though we’re going back to 2.5% or 3% mortgage rates. We’re probably going to be settling back into normal. If you look at the last 40 years, ... between 1981 and 1983, mortgage rates got up to 18% and that was one anomaly on one end. Then the completely other end was what we saw in [20]21 and [20]22 with the lower mortgage rates, whereas the average is 7.42%. It’s actually looking like a market correction, maybe leaning toward more of a buyer’s market. What leads to the market becoming a buyer’s market? Some homes are experiencing price drops on listings in the area. The other thing is days on market. If you have price drops, [if] you have long days on market, then you’ve got a little bit more bargaining power on the side of buyers. If somebody wants to sell a home, what are things you kind of recommend they do, or what should they do before they list it? You want to make sure that your home is in a good state of repair. Pay attention to the details. I was at a home, showing some folks the house. The seller had done, I want to say, approximately
COURTESY NEWMAN DALTON
$20,000 worth of structural repairs, but then there was a ... vent in the ceiling that was missing, so it’s a hole in the ceiling. While the seller had spent all that time and money correcting their foundation and other things, all the person in the home could see was that missing air vent. That kind of mentally negated everything else. Just making sure your home is in a good state of repair is going to make you a lot more competitive.

Colleyville officials increase homestead exemption to 14%
This will primarily help Colleyville staff recruit and maintain police officers and firefighters to keep up with competitive rates from nearby cities, Wood said. “We need this revenue to keep this type of great service that we have in our community,” Mayor Bobby Lindamood said. “We are blessed to be like we are—one of the top-three safest cities, and our response times for our fire department is under the national average.” Diving deeper With a homestead exemption of 14%, the aver- age homeowner is predicted to save $2 on their property taxes since the last year. If City Council chooses not to increase property taxes, the average homeowner could save $150 in property taxes since last year, Wood said. Addi- tionally, commercial property owners are expected to pay $222 more in property taxes than 2024. This approval comes before the budget and
Colleyville City Council increased the home- stead exemption by 7% at the June 3 meeting, making the total tax exemption for homeowners 14% for 2025 residential property taxes. What you need to know Approving this exemption will shift the poten- tial property tax increase the city expects for fiscal year 2025-26 off of homeowners and onto commercial developments in the city, according to a presentation from council. The homestead exemption reduces property taxes for homeowners, which does not include rental or commercial properties, Assistant City Manager Mark Wood said. Colleyville officials said the 7% increase could bring $1 million in revenue for the city. The additional revenue would go toward implementing a $750,000 recommendation for compensation increases based on a reparation study done by the city.

Limited land, rising property values From the cover

Local residential buildout Colleyville, Grapevine and Southlake are over 92% built out, with limited new housing space.
Undeveloped land

Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake are more than 90% built out, leaving developers only small parcels of land to build on, Calais Custom Homes co-owner Paul Rostron said. Calais Custom Homes works with clients to build homes, with the company currently selling lots at Linmar Estates in Southlake and Holt Farms in Colleyville. The available lots for development in the three cities are mostly under 100 acres and the parcels over 100 acres belong to long-time families who have lived on these properties for decades and are unwilling to sell, Rostron said. “For [Southlake and Colleyville], [City Council] will typically not let any developer or builder put more than one home per acre of land,” he said. Despite the small amount of land available, the demand for houses in Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake persist because of available jobs from companies like Toyota and Wells Fargo being headquartered nearby, Assaad and Rostron said.

EASY AS WATERING YOUR LAWN IS
When it’s time to water your lawn, think 1, 2…zero. Once a week if it needs a little water. Twice a week if it’s dry and hot. Zero if it’s been raining. Make sure your sprinklers aren’t leaking or pointing the wrong way. And try drip irrigation for flowers and shrubs. Visit Water is Awesome.com for more tips.
