Lewisville’s $1.5 billion, 324-acre, mixed-use development The Realm at Castle Hills will add 11 new retailers this spring and summer. Upon completion the Bright Realty development along SH 121 will feature 5,000 multifamily units; 1.5 million square feet of retail, office, and restaurants; a boutique hotel; an extensive trail system; and an outdoor entertainment district.

“The population in Denton County is exploding and saw a 53 percent increase between 2000 and 2010 and another 29 percent increase between 2010 and 2018,” Chris Bright, Bright Realty CEO, said. “People flocking to the area want the walkable, live-work-play destinations that they can get in urban developments. We are giving them that with The Realm, as well as providing unique retailers you don’t often find elsewhere.”

In all, the 11 new units will occupy nearly 35,000 square feet. Coming soon are:
