Sapphire Bay is a $1 billion mixed-use development located on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, south of I-30 at Dalrock Road. Planned features include a lagoon amenity and an island entertainment component with an incredible synchronized water and video show; a Hyatt Destination resort and conference center; and a surf and beach club. Other unique hotels, restaurants and shopping will round out this destination experience. A variety of lake-living opportunities will offer apartments, high-rise condos and single-family living with parks and trail systems to enjoy. Sapphire Bay will become a national destination for conferences, vacationing families, residents looking for a unique place to call home, and businesses who want to locate where their employees can live, work, and play.
Rowlett was one of the original Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) member cities and opened its first station in 2012 on the Blue Line (Downtown Rowlett station), providing an optimal location for urban transit-oriented developments. The station created an opportunity for unique Transit-Oriented Developments, and the City created a Downtown Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone to help spur additional development by providing needed infrastructure improvements.
As a part of Realize Rowlett 2020 Phase III, the Rowlett City Council authorized the North Shore Planning Initiative in 2013. Located on the PGBT, North Shore offers over 1,314 acres of vacant land. As a part of the process, the City commissioned a marketing plan and target industry analysis to identify potential targets for the development. Staff is currently meeting with existing land owners and targeting master developers.
