A new coworking space is now open in Flower Mound: Called Success Space, it's at 6050 Long Prairie Rd. #100 in a former dentist office, and is part of Success Enterprises, which also publishes Success magazine, founded in 1897 by achievement philosopher Orison Swett Marden.

According to a release, Success Space is a new coworking solution with a focus on servicing suburban communities which offers flexible on-demand rentals, onsite business coaching, and full-service cafes, serving coffee, pastries, sandwiches, charcuterie, and beer & wine.

While the coworking industry has had some ups and downs, especially during the pandemic, Success is confident that its unique positioning in the suburbs will make it stand out from most coworking businesses that are centralized within major metropolitan areas. Success Space aims to serve the needs of employees by locating closer to where they live.

There are private and shared coworking spaces, podcasting booths, and conference rooms. Fees range from $650 per month for an office with one desk and chair, to $1050 per month for two desks and chairs. You can also buy a membership, ranging from $59 to $129 per month, that gives you access to the facilities and allows you to rent "on demand" office space by the day.

The press release claims that Flower Mound is the first location for the brand, although there seems to be a location that is already open in Houston. Sketchy. Flower Mound is a franchise owned by Brian and Tisha White, Flower Mound residents who are members of the Valley Creek Church, the Flower Mound Chamber of Commerce, and Cross Timbers Rotary Club.

The location will feature certified professional coach Erin Schweitzer, who for a fee will counsel entrepreneurs and small business owners via one-on-one coaching sessions, group "masterminds," or organizational development programs.

They're big on franchising, and claim to have locations penciled in for Birmingham, Alabama; Camarillo, California; Carmel, Indiana; Huntsville, Alabama; Long Island, New York; New Orleans, San Antonio, and Sugar Land. Which, again, may already be open, the PR spokesperson was not able to say.

Flower Mound will host a ribbon cutting with the Flower Mound Chamber of Commerce on January 10, 2024.

Grand Prairie expands to the south with new master-planned community

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
