If you have visited Bicentennial Park recently, you’ve seen firsthand the rapidly emerging community recreation center, officially known as The Marq Southlake (Phase 1). Also under construction for the past few months has been the website for the new multi-purpose facility, which debuted May 20, 2015: www.TheMarqSouthlake.com.
The website gives a glimpse of what is to come when Phase 1 of The Marq opens in late 2015. The premier activity and event venue will include Aria, an outdoor amphitheater and Legends Hall which houses a grand ballroom, conference and meeting rooms, the Club Lounge, a catering kitchen and a senior lounge; The Marq will be the new home for the Southlake Senior Center. Phase 1, encompassing approximately 23,000 square feet will be a state-of-the-art venue available for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate meetings and luncheons, social events, concerts and art performances and select City of Southlake community events.
To help Southlake residents, as well as welcomed visitors throughout the DFW metroplex (and beyond) envision the finished product of The Marq Southlake Phase1, the website has been constructed with images and details for the facility’s distinct areas and functions:
The new website also provides an online event booking form, links to all of The Marq’s social media channels and contact information for the Sales Specialist when you are ready to schedule a tour or book an event.
A community recreation center has been in the City of Southlake’s Parks Master Plan since 1996 and became a top priority when it was frequently cited in the 2009 and 2011 citizen surveys. In August 2013, City Council put the plan into action when it approved $1.72M to design Phase 1 and the site plan was approved June 3, 2014. A groundbreaking ceremony was held September 27, 2014, and City Council approved the facility’s name October 21, 2014. It is important to note there will be no increase in taxes to construct or operate the facility.
Because of the magnitude of the project, The Marq Southlake will be built in two phases and has a multi-year development timeline:
The Marq Southlake is located at 411 Unity Way, Southlake, TX 76092. For more information, visit the new website at www.TheMarqSouthlake.com.
