    New hotel and conference center capitalizes on its DFW lakeside locale

    Jennifer Chininis

    Flower Mound is about to get a showpiece hotel, overlooking Grapevine Lake, just minutes from DFW Airport. Called the Pearl on the Peninsula, the contemporary 12-floor hotel and conference center will capitalize on its lakeside locale.

    It will be the centerpiece of the lake’s southern 25-acre peninsula, which is part of the 150-acre mixed-used development called Lakeside DFW (where a new Moviehouse & Eatery is going in). The hotel will have 220 rooms and luxury suites, including “sky villas” on the top level.

    The Pearl’s perch 140 feet above the water will provide views of sunrises and sunsets; renderings show that public spaces are oriented toward those water vistas.

    The hotel also will have plenty of meeting space (hence the “conference center” in its title), including a 10,000-square-foot ballroom. Also expect an infinity pool and two places to dine: a European market and a full-service signature restaurant and bar. Another bar will serve the sunbathers on the pool deck.

    Just this week, the Flower Mound Town Council approved a measure that will assist New Era Hotels & Resorts and Sunset Legacy LP in the hotel’s development. Flower Mound resident Scott Tarwater, a partner in New Era, is leading the charge; his family used to own the land, which they sold to Sunset’s Stewart family in 1984. So both parties have an attachment to the place.

    “Over 30 years ago, my father, Peter P. Stewart, envisioned an international hotel overlooking the lake to complement the new DFW International Airport,” said Alan Stewart of Sunset Legacy in a release. “Our family is thrilled that he will see this dream come true right before his 95th birthday.”

    “It is an honor to bring another wonderful hotel to the Flower Mound, particularly on the land that my parents, grandparents and I grew up on,” Tarwater said. “The opportunity to bring a truly unique, luxury hotel concept that honors our community’s heritage, along with creating a premier international destination for guests and locals to experience, is very significant to me.”

    DePalma Hotels & Resorts will manage the property. The rest of the project team includes Merriman Associates/Architects, TBG (landscape design), Duncan, Miller, Ullmann Design (interior design), Gateway Planning (master planning) and Kimley-Horn (engineering). Balfour Beatty is acting as design builder.

    New Era Hotels & Resorts’ first project is the Courtyard by Marriott in the River Walk at Central Park master-planned development in Flower Mound, which is slated to break ground this September. The Pearl on the Peninsula is its second. Groundbreaking should begin in July 2016 with a projected opening date in the fourth quarter of 2017.

    The Pearl on the Peninsula is coming to Flower Mound in 2017.

    Dallas' Longhorn Ballroom unveils new renovated coworking studio space

    Dallas' famed Longhorn Ballroom music venue has unveiled a newly renovated multi-use building — located across the courtyard from the Ballroom at 200 Corinth St. — that's open for creative types in the fields of entertainment, restaurant, and the arts.

    The Longhorn Ballroom was built in 1950 for country music legend Bob Wills and this Texas Playboys and was originally named Bob Wills’ Ranch House. It was managed for a time by Jack Ruby, then Dewey Groom who renamed it the Longhorn Ballroom and built it into one of the greatest venues of its day, hosting Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Pasty Cline, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, James Brown, Al Green, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender and Selena.

    This newly renovated building was originally constructed in 1950 as part of the Ranch House, where it served as a motel for touring musicians and according to a release, is rumored to have sheltered Wills' horse "Punkin."

    The two-story 26,000-square-foot building offers co-working spaces for entertainment professionals, attorneys, and managers. There are five 1-2 person offices available, along with a limited number of residential live-work studios for artists. There are also several small restaurant spaces available for "culinary creatives."

    The largest available area — a former recording studio — could be transformed into a space for audio, film, or post-production work.

    There is also a common area and kitchen, plus plentiful parking. Internet and utilities are included. Rates depend on space rented.

    "As an entertainment attorney, there’s no better place for my practice than the Oficina co-work space at the Longhorn," says Decker Sachse, a current tenant. "It’s a great location with easy access and my clients love the vibe."

    In the fall, the Longhorn will complete its third and final phase with the opening of a 6,500-capacity outdoor amphitheater along the banks of the original Trinity River. Called The Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater, it will host a series of soft opening shows this fall, starting with Randy Rogers on September 20. A grand opening with a full calendar of events will commence in the spring of 2026, providing the city with a state-of-the-art outdoor venue one mile south of downtown Dallas.
