Dallas-Fort Worth-based developer Hillwood broke ground on the first phase of Landmark, a 3,200-acre master-planned community, in November. The $10 billion development will feature more than 6,000 single-family homes, 3,000 multifamily units and 1,000 acres of park space over the course of its 40-year build-out, according to previous reporting.

What's happening: Landmark will also have about 900 acres of commercial space, with a new H-E-B grocery store to anchor a 45-acre retail center.
“With Landmark, we are looking decades down the road,” Denton Mayor Gerard Hudspeth said. “Putting roadway infrastructure ... and green spaces in place is an important step before residents move in.”

The first phase includes about 750 single-family homes, and design plans and engineering plans for the second phase are with city officials for review, said Charlie Rosendahl, the city’s interim director of development services. Officials expect that part of the development to break ground by the end of 2026.

The Starbucks coffee shop on the second floor of the student union at the University of North Texas will close at the end of March, a university representative said.

The details: UNT officials did not offer an agreement renewal and are exploring alternative uses for the space.

A separate Starbucks coffee stand, which is between the music building and the Hurley administration building, will remain open, the representative said. The coffee stand offers a full service coffee bar and grab-and-go food options.

Starbucks offers tea, and several coffee brews and drinks, including iced coffee, cappuccinos, various roasts and a food menu that includes sandwiches and baked goods.
