Builders Guild at Cotton Crossing tours TND's in DFW















Cotton Crossing "Builders Guild" Tours TND Neighborhoods in the DFW Metroplex with James Hardie Siding & McCoys Lumber Company.

The tour was organized by McCoys and sponsored by James Hardie and took the group through a number of master planned neighborhoods that were built with the principles of New Urbanism in mind. Two of the more noteable developments were Hometown and Providence, which are significantly built out and beautiful traditional neighborhoods.






Hometown is in North Richland Hills and was designed by the famed design firm DPZ. Providence is located in the McKinney area and was developed by the Huffines Group. It has its own school, numerous parks and lakes and already has over 3,000 residents. Both projects exemplify the quality and attention to detail that we are seeking to build in Cotton Crossing.

The tour actually came about so that the builders who were going to be building in the first phase of Cotton Crossing would be able to visualize the finished product. Also, it is always a good opportunity for builders to go and see how other builders in different markets are finishing their product. We were able to view developments that featured properties in the entry level, move-up, and luxury price levels.
















After the hard day of touring, James Hardie Siding was nice enough to treat the whole group to a baseball game at the Frisco Rough Riders stadium in their company skybox. Actually, they have more than just a luxury box to watch the game, the stadium is named after the company and is covered entirely with their product. It is reminiscent of an old fashion ball park from the twenties and was a beautiful example of their wonderful materials.
