In September 2023, my partner and I, alongside a group of local investors, acquired the subject
property with a vision to develop it into a valuable community asset. Since our acquisition, we
have been approached by no fewer than five reputable spa operators expressing strong interest in
locating their business on the site.
We are ready to proceed with development. As with most commercial ventures, the timing and
execution of construction and financing are closely tied to market demand. Currently, we are
working with a highly established, upscale spa that is seeking to relocate from its leased premises
in Southlake. This group will buy an entire 11,400 square feet building and occupy about 8,500
square feet as a Spa with the remainder likely as rented office/medical space. Hours of operation
would be similar to the rest of the medical occupants in this park — 8 am to 7 pm. There will be
an estimated 30 employees at the business (which includes management and staff) and around 100
cars throughout an entire day (20 cars during peak times) which customers would be
merchandising at the space for 50-75 minutes per visit. This spa will derive approximately 65%
of its revenue from hair services with the remaining 35% from ancillary offerings such as IV
treatments and licensed massage services. The operator has declined all other location options in
Southlake due to concerns over surrounding noise and traffic. They place high value on the
tranquil setting of our property, which is something they see as essential to maintaining the serene,
high -end experience they offer their clients.
The property provides more than adequate parking to support this spa use, as well as other medical
or office -related activities. Given the significant and legitimate interest, we respectfully request
that non -Medical Spa be added to the current SB-2 zoning.
This type of use is not without precedent. For example, Southlake Commons and other nearby
office/medical developments have successfully integrated similar services. We strongly believe
this use is fully compatible with the surrounding area, which consists of low -traffic medical and
professional offices, and which quietly serves the Southlake community.
