The Preserve in Allen March 2012 Update

The Preserve in Allen March 2012I dropped by The Preseve in Allen today. Things have really started to take shape.

The two model homes near the west side enterance are just about complete. We have been told that they will be complete and open for business by the end of March.

As I drove the neighborhood, I noted the lake is full and about six homes are well on their way to being completed.

When I last spoke to Ashton Woods, I was told that pre-sales have been brisk and many of the premium lots are already reserved.

Groundbreaking at The Preserve in Allen

The Preserve in Allen

Finally! Ashton Woods has broken ground in The Preserve in Allen. I was out visiting the site over the weekend and found the two model homes are well on their way to being completed. I also noted the lake is filled and the fountain is operating.

There are two model homes under construction near the west side enterance. While I did not speak to the sales staff, I suspect they will be open in late March 2012.

I understand that presales have been going well with about 12 homes already under contract.

                 Click Image for PDF Version

We met with Steve Vieregge, Community Sales Manager for The Preserve, on Friday to follow-up on the development.The Preserve is on-schedule and the builder should break ground on the model homes on lots 31 and 32 (block C) in November. If the winter weather cooperates, the models should be ready by April 2012.

They have already pre-sold a number of new homes and the first new residents should move into their homes in April as well.

We were also able to get better copies of the seven models being offered. The single-level models are Waterville, Merion, and the Sawgrass. While the basic plans are single-level, there is an option to add space on a second level. The two-level models are Muirfield, Turnberry, Pinehurst, and the Augusta.

Excitement is in the Air over The Preserve in Allen

If you’ve driven by the project in the past few weeks, you will have noted that it has really taken shape. The roads are in and the land along McDermott Road has been leveled opening up the view.

We spoke to Toni Petty with Ashton Woods on Saturday to get an update on the progress being made. They expect to have approval from the City of Allen to begin building by the first week of November. The model home should begin about mid-November and be ready by early January 2012.

We have copies of the floorplans, but they have not yet been released to the public. We will post them as soon as the builder approves the public release.

Pre-sales should begin in November as planned but a sales location has not yet been finalized.

We’ll post more on The Preserve in Allen as it becomes available.

The Preserve in Allen August 2011 Update

The Preserve in Allen
We had a nice conversion with Toni Petty with Ashton Woods yesterday about The Preserve in Allen.
 
The project is slightly ahead of schedule and presales should begin in November 2011.

In an earlier blog, we wrote that there was some discussion about The Preserve in Allen being part of Twin Creeks. That decision has been made and The Preserve will not be part of Twin Creeks.

Ashton Woods has designed seven new floor plans for The Preserve ranging from 2000 to 4000 square feet. Some plans will be available with 3 car tandem garages, bonus rooms, and media rooms. Note the plans have not been finalized and are subject to change. We should have copies of the floor plans in late August and we’ll post them as soon as they are available.

We should have another update at the end of August and will continue to update you on the project as it progresses.

A Balloon View of The Preserve in Allen

Gina and I flew over The Preserve in Allen this morning in the RE/MAX® Balloon. This vantage point gives you a good view of how things are progressing.

The development is really starting to take shape! The lake has been completed and is starting to fill. You can also see that the lots have been surveyed and leveled. The roads have been laid out and the developer will be installing utilities soon. You can see the stacks of blue-green pipes at the front of the development.

Update on The Preserve in Allen

The Preserve in Allen - June 11 2011

I dropped out to the 32 acres in west Allen yesterday to take a look at the progress being made. The work crews and heavy equipment operators were busy working on-site.

The developer has made quite a bit of progress since the the last time I was there. The main lake appears to be completed, the ground for the homesites has been leveled, and they are preparing to install the sewer system.

We spoke to Ashton Woods last week and the project is still on-schedule to begin pre-sales in November 2011.

Update on The Preserve in Allen

Main Lake Under Construction at The Preserve in Allen

I dropped by The Preserve in Allen yesterday to see how things are progressing. I went around the backside and got a good look at the construction of the main lake.

The original lake has been drained (you can still see the old dock) and the heavy equipment is reshaping it to fit the new development plan. Once completed, the dam will be built on the east end and it can be filled.

Gina spoke to the builder last week and they are still progressing on-schedule for November presales and initial move-ins in early 2012.

We will post more information as it becomes available.

The Preserve in Allen - Twin Creeks or Not?

To Be or Not to Be?  That is the question...

Twin Creeks Amenity Center

Gina met with some of the good people at Ashton Woods a couple of weeks ago. As part of the initial develpment of the 32 acres located in west Allen, they are considering being part of the Twin Creeks master planned community.

While the numbers have not been firmed up, we extimate being part of Twin Creeks would add about $600 a year to the Homeowners Association dues. In return, owners would have access to all the Twin Creeks amenities including pools, parks, tennis, walking paths, private lakes, and the softball fields. The golf course has optional user fees but would otherwise be available to residents.

What do you think? Would you pay an extra $600 a year for The Preserve in Allen to be part of Twin Creeks and have access to all the Twin Creeks amenities? Let us know below.
