Suntex to develop Lake Lewisville marina near Dallas
Suntex Marina Investors, LLC (Suntex) has announced its appointment to develop The Tribute Marina, situated along the eastern shoreline of Lake Lewisville on Wynnewood Peninsula in The Colony, Texas. The marina is part of the master-planned community known as The Tribute.
The Tribute Marina will feature 26,242 linear feet of floating dockage, accommodating boats up to 60 feet in length. The 801 wet slips will range from 24 to 60 feet and include modern amenities. Plans for the development also include a 4,069-square-foot floating marina structure housing retail and deli services, office space and a fuel dock. The marina will operate as a Suntex Circle of Boating boat club and offer a rental boat fleet for visitors.
Land-based facilities will incorporate a park with recreational features such as sand volleyball courts, table tennis, horseshoes, bocce ball, a multi-purpose lawn with a stage, picnic areas and restrooms. The park will also provide gated parking for a minimal access fee, similar to other lake parks in The Colony.
Bryan Redmond, CEO of Suntex Marinas, says: “The Tribute is one of the most prominent, high-end residential communities in the area, and the new marina is the ultimate companion offering exceptional on-the-water entertainment to the community and their guests. We are planning on matching the quality of the community with facilities that will provide everything needed for comfortable boating and every manner of water-based activity.”
The Tribute spans approximately 1,600 acres and is designed to include nearly 3,000 single-family homes, a town centre and additional amenities. Over 2,200 homes have been built and sold to date.
Kristian Teleki, senior vice president with Matthews Southwest, the developer of The Tribute, says: “Since the inception of The Tribute, Matthews Southwest has intended to take advantage of the proximity to the lake and its native surroundings with the introduction of a marina. The process has definitely been a journey working through the many design phases, selecting the right marina operator and meeting the criteria and regulations of the USACE and The Colony.”
Lake Lewisville is the largest lake by surface area in the four-county region encompassing Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties. Its surface area exceeds 29,000 acres, with over 230 miles of shoreline. The lake is widely recognised for its recreational facilities, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, skiing, swimming and other activities.
Suntex manages a large portfolio of marinas across Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia.
