Developers of Rowlett's Bayside project have signed up two homebuilders for a new residential community.

K. Hovnanian Homes and Meritage Homes will build more than 100 houses in the 262-acre Bayside development on Lake Ray Hubbard. The home community will be across Interstate 30 from where developer Bayside District Partners LLC is still working on plans for a major mixed-use project.

Meritage Homes plans to build 57 cottage-style, single-family homes and K. Hovnanian Homes will build 47 houses at Bayside. Houses in the waterfront neighborhood will range in size from 1,867 to 2,800 square feet and will start in price below $300,000.

"Our elevated vision for Bayside is an authentic lake-front resort community and we are pleased to have K. Hovnanian and Meritage bring 104 waterfront homes to Bayside — developing these houses will be a big step in bringing our Bayside vision to life," Thomas, lead development partner of Bayside District Partners, said in a statement.

Earlier this year, Rowlett's owners of the $1 billion Bayside project hired D'Alesandro as the new lead developer.

Plans are still up in the air for the long-awaited Crystal Lagoon in the Bayside project on Lake Ray Hubbard, which generated huge interest the last few years.

Along with the lagoon, Bayside is to include condominium towers, luxury apartments, single-family homes and more than 1 million square feet of mixed-use retail, entertainment, restaurant and office space.

Apartment builder Western Rim is constructing the first phase of a 777-unit rental community in Bayside. The formal groundbreaking was held for the project in early 2016.

The Bayside ownership is led by Wilks Development, a real estate firm owned by billionaire brothers Dan and Farris Wilks of Cisco in West Texas. The energy industry execs have invested in several North Texas real estate projects.
