    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Laurey Peat Laurey Peat + Associates 214.871.8787 [email protected] THE WALTON GROUP OF COMPANIES ANNOUNCES BUILDERS FOR CHISHOLM TRAIL RANCH Antares, Dunhill, HistoryMaker and Sandlin Homes Will Build First Residential Homes Since the Opening of the Chisholm Trail Parkway in Fort Worth FORT WORTH, TEXAS (April 5, 2016) -- The Walton Group of Companies (Walton), a privately held, multi-national real estate investment and development group in Texas, with U.S. headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, has announced the builders for Chisholm Trail Ranch, a master-planned community of residential homes and commercial-retail properties. The four local, long-established builders are Antares Homes, Dunhill Homes, HistoryMaker Homes and Sandlin Homes. Walton’s 261-acre residential community is the first new development to begin construction along the $1.4 billion Chisholm Trail Parkway, which opened in May 2014. The Chisholm Trail Ranch community will feature approximately 1,100 single- family residential homes – Phase 1 will include 179 home sites. “We’re excited to work with Antares, Dunhill, HistoryMaker and Sandlin Homes on this landmark first project along the new Chisholm Trail Parkway,” said John Vick, President South Region, Walton Development and Management. “We selected these veteran local builders for their experience and the quality of their homes. They are an integral piece in establishing Chisholm Trail Ranch as we introduce this fresh, new thoughtfully-crafted community that meets the needs of the way families live today.” Antares Homes has been building homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for over 18 years. Founded by Texas Association of Home Builders Hall of Honor member Ron Formby, the company was acquired by Tommy and Lisa McAden in December of 2013.

  • Chisholm Trail Parkway the Chisholm Trail Parkway
    Chisholm Trail Parkway The Chisholm Trail Parkway (formerly Southwest Parkway) is a 27.6-mile toll road that will extend from downtown Fort Worth south to Cleburne. More than 40 years in the making, the project is collaboration between the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), Tarrant and Johnson counties, the cities of Fort Worth, Burleson and Cleburne, Fort Worth and Western Railroad (FWWR) and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Originally defined as two distinct transportation projects, the Southwest Parkway and Chisholm Trail were combined to form the Southwest Parkway/Chisholm Trail project in October 2008. On May 12, 2011, Gov. Rick Perry signed HB 367 changing the name of the Southwest Parkway/Chisholm Trail corridor solely to Chisholm Trail Parkway. The bill took effect on Sept. 1, 2011. The northern section of CTP will be an 8.7 mile, six-lane tollway that stretches from I-30 to southwest Fort Worth. The NTTA, TxDOT and the City of Fort Worth, in conjunction with a Citizens Advisory Group, cooperatively developed a Corridor Master Plan to guide the design development of the corridor with respect to aesthetic features. The NTTA developed the final design plans for part of the southern extension of CTP from Altamesa Boulevard to FM 1187. For the southernmost 13 mile section, the NTTA selected a Design/Builder for Section 6, which stretches from FM 1187 to U.S. 67 in Cleburne. Once completed, the CTP will provide a continuous route from Fort Worth to Cleburne connecting southwest Tarrant and northwest Johnson counties.
