The cities of Irving, Grapevine and Southlake all sprang to life after a new regional airport landed in their backyards.When plans were announced in the late 1960s for North Texas’ new regional airport, critics of the project complained it was being built in the middle of nowhere.To construct the new regional airport, Dallas and Fort Worth bought up more than 15,000 acres of rural land along the county line — much of it in the towns of Grapevine and Irving.
The Concorde supersonic jet made its first appearance in the U.S. for the DFW International Airport's opening in 1973. “People can come in on an airplane now and if they have a layover, they can get on TexRail and come to Grapevine and enjoy our restaurants and amenities and get back on the train in the morning and catch their flight,” Tate said.On Sept. 14, 1973, Dallas businessman Ben Carpenter announced plans for Las Colinas. Six days later, DFW Airport was formally dedicated.
“Without a doubt, Las Colinas is a lot of what it is today with the access to the airport,” said Tim Glass with the Las Colinas Association. “The ability of the companies to have a great location next to one of the biggest airports in the country is absolutely fundamental to Las Colinas.”Las Colinas Association estimates the value of all the real estate developed in the project in the last 50 years totals about $13 billion.
