A Dual-Brand Marriott Is Coming to Sherman — Here's What to Know

Another big project breaking ground in Sherman Crossroads at 1417 & 75 👀

A dual-brand Marriott hotel featuring Townplace Suites and SpringHill Suites is now under construction in Sherman.
The project will bring about 200 hotel rooms to the city and is designed to support the surge of visitors, contractors, and business travelers tied to the massive economic growth happening in the area.

With projects like Texas Instruments’ semiconductor facilities and other development nearby, Sherman is preparing for a major increase in population, jobs, and travel demand.

🏠 Deal of the Week: The Lakehurst Floor Plan | Bel Air Village, Southeast Sherman

If you've been waiting for a home that just feels big the second you walk in — this might be the one.

DR Horton's Lakehurst floor plan in Bel Air Village is turning heads, and it's not hard to see why. With over 2,200 square feet of open living space and soaring ceilings, the layout just makes sense. The flow from living to dining to kitchen is seamless, and durable vinyl flooring ties it all together throughout the main areas.

The kitchen is fully loaded — solid surface countertops, tile backsplash, plenty of cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances. And depending on current builder incentives, you might even score a refrigerator, washer, and dryer thrown in. 👀

The primary suite is tucked away in the back corner, giving you backyard views, natural light, and easy access to a covered patio. Inside you'll find an extended walk-in shower, double sinks, great storage, and a walk-in closet that genuinely delivers.

Head upstairs and you've got two spacious secondary bedrooms sharing a full bath, plus a fourth bedroom with its own walk-in closet — perfect for guests, a home office, or whatever you need.

This one checks a lot of boxes.

If you are interested just reply and I will get you all the details.

✨ Business of the Week: The Milieu

If you haven't discovered The Milieu yet, consider this your sign.

This is the kind of place that's hard to put into one category — and that's exactly what makes it special. Part wine bar, part gathering spot, part hidden gem, The Milieu is built around the idea of accessible luxury. Think carefully curated wines and beers, delicious boards, good music, and an atmosphere that just makes you want to stay a little longer.

Whether you're planning a date night, a girls' night out, a casual meetup with friends, or even a business meeting, The Milieu has the vibe and the space to make it happen. They also host private events and parties, so if you've got something coming up worth celebrating — keep them in mind.

Oh, and if you find yourself going back regularly (you will), they offer Wine Club Memberships that make the whole experience even better.

This is the kind of local spot that deserves your support. Go check them out, grab a glass, and find your milieu.

That's a wrap for this week! Thanks for being part of this community — we'll see you next week with more Texoma news, events, and local finds. As always, feel free to share this with a friend who loves Sherman as much as we do. 🤍
