Wondering what that tall crane in the sky is for standing atop the hill above The Harbor?
It’s part of the construction now ongoing of the seven-story Trend Tower which is scheduled to be completed this November.
Developed by Heath-based Sterling One Properties, the corporate tower will provide 100,000 sq. ft. of office and retail space for businesses along with meeting rooms and a restaurant available to the public overlooking the skyline.
The Trend Tower is the first phase of a $250 million commercial and residential project called “Harbor Heights” on the hill above The Harbor. Soon to follow will be high-end restaurants and a medical tower.
The Rockwall-based human resource outsourcing company Trend HR will be the anchor of the office tower, which is expected to be just the first of several office towers to be built in Harbor Heights.
According to developer Phillips, the crane has created a lot of excitement for their team and the community.
“Trend Tower is the cornerstone of the Harbor Heights development,” he said. “The architectural features and high-end finish will be a standard that will carry forward to the additional office, retail and condominiums within the development.”
Trend HR has been one of the nation’s fastest-growing companies for the past four years, according to INC. magazine and operates in over 30 states.
A principal in Trend Tower and CEO of Trend HR, D.W. Bobst, says this new project allows the City to have one of the best projects in North Texas.
“Because of the elevation of Rockwall and being located on a large lake, the views of the tower will be better than downtown Dallas,” said Bobst. “This corporate office development will help ensure that Rockwall assumes its place as one of the top cities for people to live, work and play in Texas.”
Sterling One Properties is a diversified real estate development and investment company which over the past eleven years has been the primary managing partner for over $300 million in commercial, residential and hotel projects.
The company has developed local communities in Rockwall County such as Kingsbridge, Terrabella, Wyndemere, Flagstone Creek and Hillcrest Shores. It is currently developing Sonoma Verde, an 1100 home development, on Highway 205 between Rockwall and McLendon-Chisholm.
