In 2015, the City of Rowlett gained regional recognition when Donahue Development and the City published plans to build the first crystalline lagoon in the State of Texas which will span nearly eight acres including two acres of beach frontage. There is also a planned one acre show fountain which is 300' long with 250 water nozzles and two video mist screens. Located in the development will be a trolley system, marina, shows and concerts, convention center, luxury hotel resort, two condo towers, and luxury apartments. This development would be called "Bayside". Bayside is located in the southernmost portion in the City of Rowlett surrounded by Lake Ray Hubbard. The property, once known as "Elgin B. Robertson Park" was acquired from the City of Dallas in late 2015 when the City of Rowlett and Donahue Development began planning this luxury resort known as "Bayside". Construction on this project is in progress and is expected to be completed in 2023. What once was a bedroom community, is now a community set for success in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
