Transformer shortage roadblock for residential developersTransformer shortage roadblock for residential developershttps://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=292092023-05-30T05:00:00Z2023-05-31T13:00:00Z

SAN ANTONIO – Supply chain disruptions that began during the pandemic are still causing shortages of a piece of equipment needed to power homes: transformers.

Transformers, those dark green metal boxes visibile on neighbhood lawns, transform higher voltages flowing through underground power lines into lower voltages for use in homes. For about every four houses being built in a new subdivision, one new transformer must be installed. 

Utilities across the state and nation are struggling to secure the distribution system transformers they need to meet the needs of residential developers. Procurement times, which averaged about three months in 2020, stretched to more than a year by the end of last year, according to the American Public Power Association. In national surveys, the lack of transformers been specifically identified by builders as a concern for 2023.​​​​ 

In early May, CPS Energy, which serves San Antonio, had 645 of the 35-kilovolt transformers used in residential subdivisions ready for installation—and requests for more than 3,400. CPS warns that some developments could be waiting for more than a year.

Billingsley bringing $3 billion Sloan Corners mixed-use to Collin CountyBillingsley bringing $3 billion Sloan Corners mixed-use to Collin Countyhttps://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=292082023-05-28T05:00:00Z2023-05-30T23:00:00Z

COLLIN COUNTY – ​Developer Billingsley Co. is finalizing plans for the first phase of a 500-acre mixed-use development that could total over $3 billion when completed.

The development, Sloan Corners, will be in Allen and Fairview.

The developer gained control of 240 acres at the southeast corner of US 75 and SH 121 in Fairview in 2019. Two years later, they purchased 260 acres across the highway in Allen.

The City of Allen just designated its corner as a reinvestment zone and tax increment finance district, which will allocate increased property taxes from the Sloan Corners development to help pay for streets, utility lines, and other infrastructure. The maximum reimbursement could be nearly $75 million.

Plans for Sloan Corners call for more than ten million sf of office space, 6,000 apartments, and over 200,000 sf of retail space.

The firm plans to build apartments and offices in the first phase on Chelsea Blvd. The planned Hartford Square apartments would be in a four-story building designed by Dallas’ O’Brien Architects. The rental units would open in early 2026.

Sloan Corners will include greenbelts, parks and walking trails.
