PROPOSAL
When viewed from an aerial photograph, one sees that
Coppell, Texas is located in the last piece of the "pie" to
be developed in the Dallas area, bounded by 1-635 on the
South and 1-35E on the East, just west of-Carrollton. The
potential for this area has recently been realized by some of
the area's largest homebuilders who have been developing
land and constructing homes at a break-neck pace in an
attempt to keep up with area demand.
With all this residential expansion comes the need for
neighborhood shopping centers. To serve the ever increasing
population, Giller Land Corporation is now developing George-
town Plaza Shopping Center, located at the northeast corner
of Sandy Lake Road and Samuels. Having developed similar
projects in Arkansas & Oklahoma, Giller Land is pleased to
see a city building ordinance as stringent as Coppell's, since
these high standards parallel those set by Giller Land
Corporation for its own projects.
Mr. John Giller, President of Giller Land Corporation,
has every intent of making this project as architecturally
pleasing and functional as possible, as he wil! retain ownership
of the center for himself.
Giller Land Corporation is looking forward to working
with the City of Coppell to make Georgetown Plaza Shopping
Center a mutually successful project.

GILLER LAND CORPORATION
Giller Land Corporaation, an Arkansas corporation since
1977, is based in E1 Dorado, Arkansas. The company was
formed to expand on the experience and expertise of its
president, Walter John Giller, Jr.
Although several retail shopping centers have been
developed in the E1 Dorado, Arkansas area, the company's
primary activities have been in Moore, Oklahoma, a suburb
of Oklahoma City. Foxfire at Moore, a single family subdivision
containing over 250 homes, is now nearing completion of its
fifth and final phase. Almost 90% of the homes, ranging in
price from $65,000 - $95,000, were built and sold by divisions
of Giller Land. The remaining lots were sold to area builders.
Giller Land is also developing and building Fox Run Commons,
a 254 unit townhome/condominium project in Moore, adjacent
to the Foxfire addition.
On the commercial side, Foxfire Corner Shopping Center
is ready to break ground on the corner of N.E. 12th Street
and Eastern Avenue. The 12 acre site will contain more
than 117,000 square feet of retail space, with a major grocery
and drug store committed as anchor tenants. The first building
of Foxfire Office Park and Professional Center has been
built and leased with plans for six more buildings totaling
more than 50,000 square feet of office space. Foxmoore Retail
Center, across Eastern from the shopping center is already
well established with a corner convenience store and liquor
store as anchors, plus expansion plans on the drawing board
that will contain over 35,000 feet of additional retail space.
In Texas, Giller Land is developing Georgetown Plaza
Shopping Center, an 11 acre site at the northeast corner of
Sandy Lake Road and Samuels in Coppell, Texas. With con-
struction scheduled to begin in approximately three months,
the site will ultimately contain over 120,000 square feet in
retail space. In Brownsville, Texas, Giller Land is the con-
trolling partner in Port Rio Grande, a master-planned resort
development that will take in over 12,000 acres of prime
beach-front property just south of South Padre Island.
Giller Land Corporation is also involved in numerous
other projects throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
surrounding states.

A graduate of Iowa State University with a Bachelor of

had over eight years to build a broad background in real
estate with in-depth experience in construction management,
product design, marketing and on-site sales.
After college, he was project manager for two years
with Broyles and Broyles, a large mechanical contractor with
offices in Fort Worth, Atlanta and Baltimore. He moved from
Atlanta to Dallas and started Stone & Thompson, Inc., building
approximately six homes per year in the $150,000 to $175,000
price range. He was in charge of all day-to-day operations.
This successful operation changed to J.D. Stone Custom
Builders as William Brown became the financial backer.
Jeff Stone's sales coordinating ability became apparent
and he was made Director of Marketing for W. Brown Custom
Builders, Inc. Jeff was responsible for all marketing, on-site
sales, contract negotiations, and product design. While there,
he implemented a full marketing program. He worked directly
with the advertising agency in the coordination of design
and media selection and placement. Two on-site sales centers
were developed and managed while the speculative built inven-
tory of $9 million was sold in less than 12 months.
Mr. Stone then accepted a position with a firm hired to
market condominiums for a major Dallas developer. He was
in charge of the on-site sales centers for over 1000 units,
as well as being responsible for writing the sales training
manual, preparing and conducting sales training seminars,
and working on the permanent loan financing terms. He moved
from marketing to development, coordinating the development
of over 1500 units in Dallas, Oklahoma and Florida.
This broad background is ideal for allowing Mr. Stone
to keep the overall picture in focus while coordinating any
one of the aspects of successfully developing and marketing
a project. Jeff is a licensed real estate broker in Texas.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Georgetown Plaza Shopping Center is a master-planned
project on an 11.338 acre site in Coppell, Texas. Located
on the northeast corner of Sandy Lake Road and Samuels,
the site will contain more than 120,000 square feet of retail
space including a major grocery tenant.
The project will be the second shopping center planned
for the booming town of Coppell, the first being located on
the southeast corner of Sandy Lake and Denton Tap, anchored
by Minyard's. The location of Georgetown Plaza is right in
the middle of the recent tremendous surge in residential
development that is taking place now in Coppell. This location
is prime for serving the neighborhood shopping needs of
the surrounding community, and the new elementary school
is just north of the site on Samuels.
Georgetown Plaza, in keeping with the high standards
of the City of Coppell, will have an all brick exterior in an
old world type New England architecture along with simulated
slate roof, dormers, and columned arches, creating a pleasing
and productive shopping center. The site will be further
enhanced with a full masonry screening fence along the north
and east property lines and will include a lush landscaping
'plan consistent with the master plan created by EDI Arch-
itects, Inc.
Georgetown Plaza will be a showcase shopping center
indicative of the high quality of development desired in
Coppell, and especially along Sandy Lake Road, the main
boulevard for the city.

MARKET CONDITIONS
In the past year Coppell, Texas, has experienced a
tremendous surge in residential development that has trans-
formed a once quiet town of a few thousand into a suburban
city rapidly approaching 10,000 in population, with that figure
doubling in the next few years. Located roughly north of
Beltline and just a few short miles west of 1-35E, Coppell is
the center of an area viewed as the last piece of the develop-
ment "pie" of the Dallas area. With Carrollton to the east
and Las Colinas to the south, Coppell will be the next area
of expansion to meet the growing needs of the Metroplex.
Several large companies have already or will soon be
locating major facilities in the area, including Texas Instru-
ments, Frito-Lay and Electronic Data Systems. With the
extension of MacArthur Boulevard north to Sandy Lake Road
and eventually to Samuels, this area will be totally accessable
to the surrounding community. There are two main east-west
arteries: Beltline Road being more commercial-oriented and
Sandy Lake Road being a residential thoroughfare that will
eventually be widened to six lanes and become the gateway
boulevard to the City of Coppell.
The residential development taking place in Coppell has
centered itself around the Sandy Lake Road-Samuels area
with a large number of new homes already built and sold
south of Sandy Lake Road and new home development taking
place on the north side at this time. Some of the developer -
builders include Murray Investments, Braewood Homes, Lomas
& Nettleton, Fox & Jacobs, Kenwood Homes, Raldon, Univest,
Great Southwest Homes, and Triland to name a few. These
firms and many more are actively involved in the rapid resi-
dential expansion of the Coppell area.
We believe as do many others that the time is right for
the development of the Coppell area. And with the dramatic
increase in residential construction and sales, the need for
neighborhood shopping has been created. Giller Land intends
to meet that need with Georgetown Plaza Shopping Center.
