RREAF Holdings LLC broke ground May 22 on Phase I of a sixteen-acre mixed-use development in Southlake, Texas anchored by a full-service, upscale flagship-brand hotel that will feature 239 premium guestrooms and suites. RREAF CEO Kip Sowden said, 'The RREAF development team, led by Carl Schwab, RREAF's lead developer, has worked diligently on this project for more than three years. We believe the depth and experience of our team assures successful execution of a very high-end attractive full-service hotel development. Future phases could include as much as 240,000 sq. ft. of Class A Office, Restaurants and Retail with a structured parking facility to accommodate the anticipated future density on the site.'
RREAF principal, Lucien Tujague and his family office, Dominion Investments, sold the land to the newly formed RREAF affiliate, RREAF Southlake Property Co., LLC, which is developing the Hotel property.

Milton Anderson of Merriman Anderson Architects worked with Sandy Stephens of Cole Engineering to design the site and development. Hill & Wilkinson has been engaged as the general contractor, with Jeff Sanders and Ty Walton, Vice President and Project Manager of Hill Wilkinson overseeing the project construction phase. Carl Schwab and Bob McGrane, RREAF project manager, will oversee project development for RREAF Southlake Property Co., LLC.

The City of Southlake has been instrumental in helping RREAF bring this project to groundbreaking.
