Elevon development coming to Lavon area

by | Jan 21, 2021 | Latest

A new housing development will bring more than 4,000 homes north of the Wylie area in the next several years.

Elevon development will be built partially in Lavon, with most homes being built in the county. John Marlin, CEO of MA Partners LLC in Dallas, which is doing the develop­ment, said work on the develop­ment began here years ago.

“After we started looking at it and looking at the market and with Wylie building out, it just seems to be … a logical step,” Marlin said about Elevon, not­ing that families have to live somewhere. “And so, we’re ex­cited about the area.”

He said 4,700 homes have been targeted as the number for the development, but he is not sure the development will get to that number once schools and amenities are figured in. A busi­ness park also is being consid­ered, and other kinds of services are being explored for a com­munity such as this, he said. The development will have a little over 1,500 acres, Marlin said.
