Lakeside Grove's first phase on U.S. 377 files state plans for sidewalks, a trail and 60 curb ramps, with work set for February

A development called Lakeside Grove has taken a step toward construction in western Grayson County.

A project for Lakeside Grove Phase 1 was registered Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the state's accessibility review system, public records from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show. The filing places the work at the intersection of U.S. 377 and Emberson Chapel Road, with a Pilot Point mailing address and Grayson County listed as the location county.

What the filing covers

The registration is for pedestrian work only. In the filing's words, the scope is "approximately 12,818 SF of 5' sidewalk, 9,233 of 6' sidewalk, 64,800 of variable width sidewalk trail and 60 ramps."

The estimated cost is $683,157. Construction is scheduled to start Feb. 1, 2027, and finish June 1, 2027. The project is listed as new construction, privately funded on private land for private use, on a site of about 4.29 million square feet, or roughly 98 acres.

Who is behind it

The owner is listed as GRBK Edgewood LLC, with an address on Headquarters Drive in Plano. LJA Engineering of Dallas is the design firm, and a registered accessibility specialist from Rowlett is assigned to review the plans.

The filing does not say how many homes or buildings Lakeside Grove will include or when later phases would follow. No tenant is assigned, and the project's status is shown as registered.
