Northland files $30M, 221-room Sandman hotel at Grapevine Mills

Northland Developments registered a $30 million hotel project at Grapevine Mills on Oct. 1. The filing describes a 6-story, 221-room Sandman Signature hotel at 3400 Grapevine Mills Blvd N., with construction listed to start Nov. 15, 2026.

For trades and suppliers in Dallas-Fort Worth, the date is the news. A listed start 45 days after registration puts bidding and sequencing on a near-term clock.

Why it matters

The registration is made with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under its accessibility program for planned construction. It is a primary record of the owner, the scope and the schedule. It is a filing, not a permit approval or a contract.

The owner is listed as Northland Developments (Grapevine), Inc, with an address in Vancouver, British Columbia. Studio Red Dot is the design firm. The record calls the project privately funded, on private land for private use.

The numbers

The $30,000,000 is the applicant’s estimate, not a confirmed budget or contract price. The building is listed at 120,071 sq ft across 6 stories.

Our math on those figures: about $135,700 per room and about 543 sq ft per room. That is a ratio from an estimate, so treat it as a rough benchmark rather than a hard cost.

The schedule runs 24 months, from a Nov. 15, 2026 start to a Nov. 15, 2028 completion. The site is Lot 4 in Grapevine, in Tarrant County.

What’s next

The registration does not say whether a building permit has been issued, who the general contractor is or how the project is financed beyond “privately funded.” Dates on these filings are projections and can move.

Developers and contractors watching Grapevine can check the TDLR page for updates and watch city permit activity for the lot. The record names the owner and project only. It does not state how the owner relates to the Sandman hotel brand, so we do not either.
