Trophy Club townhouse developers alter plans 4-plus years after initial approval

C Oil Investments has changed plans for a townhome project in Trophy Club.

Trophy Club Town Council approved changes for planned development district 37, the concept plan and development standards for both phases of Bobcat Village at the Feb. 23 meeting.

The development features more than 10 acres across three different locations near Bobcat Boulevard, according to town documents.

Zooming in: The plan was previously approved during a Dec. 13, 2021, town meeting. That allowed the Dallas-based developer to build up to 35 townhome units, including private internal roadways.

The changes include the street alignment, lot configuration and reduction of the number of corner lots, according to the presentation at the Feb. 23 town council meeting. The changes increase the open space from 1.3 acres to 1.5 acres and reduce the number of townhomes with property lines adjacent to the open space from 14 to 6.

Phase 1 features 21 residential townhomes, and Phase 2 would include 14 townhomes. No timetable for either phase was mentioned in town documents or the presentation.

Tops Vacuum and Sewing buys Sewing World Of Grapevine

A longtime Grapevine business was sold and Tops Vacuum and Sewing added two more Texas locations to its portfolio.

The sale was completed in early January, according to Brian Beggs, a General Manager for Tops Vacuum & Sewing in Florida. The sign change for the business on Northwest Highway happened on Feb. 27.

How we got here: Beggs said the Florida-based company bought the Grapevine and Weatherford location from Randy and Stacey Luster, who ran the family-owned Sewing World of Grapevine, which was in business for more than 50 years.

“We are excited to be here,” Beggs said. “The people are nice and business is good. They are making us feel welcomed.”

The background: Tops Vacuum and Sewing has 15 locations and was founded in 1945; it has been under the current ownership group for more than 25 years, Beggs said. The purchase of Grapevine and Weatherford expands the company's presence to four locations in Texas, according to its website.
