Plans are in the works for two mixed-use projects in Allen, Texas, located about 30 minutes north of Dallas.
As part of a 181-acre mixed-use development named The Village at Allen, John Q. Hammons plans to break ground this fall on a 10-story Courtyard by Marriott and open the property in spring 2009 with 225 guest rooms. The hotel will be adjacent to a $50 million events center, which is expected to open in fall 2009 with 7,500 seats. The Village at Allen, which is scheduled to debut in October 2008, will house 1 million square feet of retail and restaurant space as well as 500,000 square feet of office space.
John Q. Hammons is building another mixed-use development across the street from The Village at Allen. The project, named The Village at Fairview, will include a 280-suite Embassy Suites Hotel and an 80,000-square-foot convention center.
