  Lava Catina coming to The Colony, Texas is the 2nd biggest announcement I have made in my career. (Only second to the Dallas Cowboys moving their headquarters and practice facility to Frisco!)
  The easiest way to describe Lava Cantina in The Colony is a Hard Rock Cafe mixed with The House of Blues! What a great concept! 

The Project Manager for The Colony Lava Cantina, Chris Harmon, said "This will be a game changer for North Dallas. A full size concert venue right at your doorstep!" I agree 100%!
  Frisco, Plano, The Colony, Allen and McKinney has had a need for a concert venue for a very long time! To have an 18,000 square foot venue like Lava Cantina that brings high quality Mexican and Creole Fusion and Live Rock & Roll in a 1,800 seat venue right down the street will be absolutely amazing! 
  Until now, we suburbanites, have had to drive to Downtown Dallas or Grand Prairie for an indoor concert and now it will be such a convenience only 10 minutes away. 

Who is behind Lava Cantina?

Steve Vaughn & Ian Vaughn.

  Steve Vaughn has been in the music industry for 40 years and Ian Vaughn worked for Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and worked his way up to the position of COO. (And as many of you already know that Cane's has some of the highest quality chicken fingers you will ever find as well as a cult following!)  

 

Lava Cantina in Baton Rouge

Steve and Ian Vaughn (father and son by the way) wanted the first Lava Cantina to open in the Dallas area but when they heard of the space available on Perkins Rowe in Baton Rouge, it just made sense. And boy were they right! It's packed every night. They have live music every Thursday through Saturday nights. 

When Lava Cantina opened in Baton Rouge in April of 2013, they were pleasantly shocked and surprised with how busy they were with the original crowds. Take that and multiply it by 10 and that is what I predict for the opening here in The Colony! 

  
Since opening, the menu has been tweaked. Now the focus is on a “Creole Mexican fusion” — dishes such as boudin balls made with chorizo, enchiladas and burritos filled with alligator or smoked duck and tacos stuffed with fried catfish and shrimp.

  

The goal of Lava Cantina is to give diners an experience like being backstage at a rock concert, with live music and restaurant staff dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Which sounds amazing! 

The Lava Chef

 
Chef Patrick Stark, the Stark Raving Chef, is currently the Executive Chef at Sundown at Granada and he has been chosen to Rock Lava Cantina's guests taste buds. From everything I have read, he will do just that!

The Stark Raving Chef started opening restaurants for a giant corporation after Culinary School. Patrick set up, staffed, trained, and operated new sites for several years and then migrated into food research and development as well as corporate site troubleshooting. 
  
He then decided to get out of the the corporate kitchen world and moved to Dallas where he created his own private dinner party service called “The Stark Raving Chef”. 

Patrick’s dinner parties entertained many Dallas celebrities and wealthy business personnel. The Stark Raving Chef’s private in house services included creating menus per customer desire/request, grocery shopping, cooking, serving, clearing, cleaning and of course entertaining. 

At the Granada Theater in Dallas Texas, he planned to take dining and music to a whole new level, until Lava Cantina approached him. 

Location of Lava Cantina

  

The Nebraska Furniture Mart made some big waves in DFW with their new store in The Colony. They decided to develop the entire 400+ acres with 3.9 million square feet of retail, entertainment, dining and attractions.

  
Grandscape is and will be one of the largest and most unique mixed-use real estate developments in the country. 

  
Lava Cantina has 121 visibility and will be on a highly sought after water feature. Many of these sketches are what is planned for Grandscape. 

  

Everybody deserves to be treated like a Rock Star from time to time, and I'm pretty sure that Lava Cantina will not only feed your appetite with high quality food but give you a one of a kind experience!

  I remember when Park Place Estates in Frisco was one of the biggest opportunities in all of Frisco a while back, and now there are only 7 opportunities left in the last phase! It's crazy! 
  Shaddock Homes has been here since day one and they have 3 spec homes and 2 lots available to build on as of today.  
 The quality and style of a Shaddock Home sells its self. They have been in the business for over 45 years for many reasons, but I would put them Top 3 builders around for quality. 

  Floorplans start at 3,000 square feet up to 5,000 square feet.  
 The three inventory homes are in different stages of construction and are 3 of the most popular plans.  

 They currently have a $30,000 incentive on either the build jobs or the inventory homes since they are in CLOSEOUT! 

Park Places oversized lots starting at 80 wide and 150 deep, really makes the opportunity unique considering it is in the city of Frisco. 

  Belclaire Homes only have two inventory homes left that both plan to finish at the end of May. Belclaire also shows that they definitely understand how to sell quality with design and materials. See the pics below of their model. 

   
    
    
    
 Both Inventory homes are the model home and are pretty close to completion. Below is the one on 7616 Regent and it is looking fantastic!

And don't Forget to ask Brad how he can help you get additional discounts through negotiations and his $15,000 Rebate for clients that purchase one of the 7 remaining available opportunities at Park Place Estates!
