Commercial Financing for The Colony
The Colony has become one of the more distinctive suburban commercial markets in DFW thanks to the Grandscape development, the 433-acre mixed-use project anchored by Nebraska Furniture Mart. The scale of that single project has pulled in associated retail, hospitality, and mixed-use development that has fundamentally reshaped the city's commercial profile.

The Colony, common questions
Is Grandscape a distinct submarket?
Yes. The scale of the project and its tenant mix have created a regional commercial destination that operates by different rules than typical suburban commercial. Lenders underwrite it accordingly.
What's the typical commercial deal size in The Colony?
Grandscape-related product ranges from mid-market to institutional; the rest of the city's deal flow is mostly $1M–$10M and routes through community banks and SBA.
Can I finance a Grandscape-adjacent restaurant building?
Yes. Specialty retail and hospitality lenders quote these deals because of the traffic and anchor draw. SBA 7(a) also works for owner-operator restaurant acquisitions here.
