The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has posted several major construction filings that will reshape parts of the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex over the next two years. These projects span hospitality, worship and education, reflecting both private investment and public‑school bond funding.
Sandman Signature Hotel slated for Grapevine
A six‑story, 221‑room Sandman Signature Hotel is set to rise on a 5.9‑acre parcel at Lot 4, 3400 Grapevine Mills Blvd. N., just steps from the popular Grapevine Mills shopping center. Northland Properties, the parent company of Sandman Signature Hotels, closed on the site in August. The hotel, which promises Canadian‑style hospitality, comfort and style, is projected to cost about $30 million and break ground in mid‑November 2026, with completion targeted for November 2028.
Providence Church plans new sanctuary in Frisco
Providence Church of Frisco has announced the purchase of a 27‑acre site along Panther Creek Parkway for a new sanctuary. The planned 61,645‑square‑foot facility will serve the growing congregation and is expected to cost roughly $25 million. Construction is slated to begin in early January 2027, with the building projected to be ready by June 2028.
Allen ISD green‑light interior upgrades at Green Elementary
Allen Independent School District is moving forward with interior renovations at Green Elementary School, funded by the district’s 2024 bond. The upgrades will include mechanical system improvements, new learning spaces, playground equipment repairs and general facility enhancements. The district recently reopened Anderson Early Childhood School after similar summer renovations, underscoring its commitment to modernizing educational environments.
These projects illustrate a broader trend of investment in the DFW region’s infrastructure, blending private sector development with public‑school improvements. While the hotel and church projects are driven by private capital, the school renovations demonstrate how local bond measures continue to fund essential upgrades for students and families.
Community members can track the progress of these developments through the TDLR filings and district communications. The new hotel is expected to boost tourism and local employment, the church sanctuary will provide expanded worship space for a growing congregation, and the school upgrades aim to enhance the learning experience for Allen’s children.
