Brandon Industries in Real Life: Chapel Hill in McKinney, Texas
Chapel Hill McKinney, Texas Streetscape Project
Beautiful, master-planned communities are popping up all over North Texas, and McKinney’s Chapel Hill community shows as well as any other why proper planning and excellent execution can create the type of robust community that families crave. Just 35 miles north of Downtown Dallas, Chapel Hill boasts the feel of an intimate small-town neighborhood within walking distance of McKinney’s Historic District and Towne Lake and Park.
The private enclave consists of an array of architecturally notable, custom-made homes, all surrounded by woods, parks, and trails. Three dazzling parks add an amphitheatre for concerts and community gatherings, a promenade along a lush dry creek bed bursting with nature, and a greenbelt along a 14-acre urban stream. Several of the park trails lead to world-class shopping in a small-town setting, including the Historic District that features more than 100 retail shops and local cafes, spas, and wine cellars.
Many of the homes also feature front porches—part of a successful effort to stimulate civic interaction. The result of all of this is a vibrant, outward-focused community.
Brandon Industries streetscape products goal in a place like Chapel Hill is to help boost that sense of community with custom-made decorative street signs, and ensure a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment that ensures accessibility to the neighborhood’s myriad of outdoor activities.
What we installed:
Decorative Street Signs: The decorative street signs are catchy and pleasing to the eye, which achieves the dual purposes of adding a dash of class to the neighborhood’s streetscapes, while also standing out from the surroundings to do their jobs effectively.
Custom-Made Signs: Custom-made signs provide an element of uniqueness to a neighborhood, which helps forge a community identity.
3” and 4” Fluted Sign Posts: These posts are strong, sturdy, and elegant, and will last as long as the neighborhood opts to keep their current streetscape. The fluted form adds just one more noticeable touch of detail.
Coordinating Sign Bases & Finials: The coordinating bases and finials make a strong statement that an attention to detail matters in Chapel Hill.
