After nearly five months of spade work, Realty Capital has signed Dan Quinto to serve as the planner for Lakeside DFW.
“We have studied the site, the input from residents, the market for various uses, and the zoning issues,” said Richard Myers, managing director of Realty Capital. “This is the next step in the process.”

“We have a lot of confidence in Dan,” Myers added. “He has worked on some outstanding projects and we believe he will help us create something truly special for Flower Mound.”
Quinto, Myers, and other members of the Lakeside DFW Team met on the site January 19 to survey lake views from various locations on the property and at various elevations.
“I really enjoyed the site visit,” said Quinto, who moved toTexas in 1999 to manage the design, construction and development of the opening phase of Southlake Town Square.
Prior to the Southlake assignment, Quinto worked for Disney Development Company in Walt Disney World in Florida. He served as a project manager for such projects as Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Sports Complex.
“We had a very productive planning session on Friday” Quinto added. “We also met with Doug Powell (executive director of development for the Town of Flower Mound), who was very helpful and informative.”
“We have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us,” he admitted, “but Lakeside DFW is a gorgeous site and I am excited about what this development can bring to Flower Mound.”
Quinto, who holds a Master’s in architecture from Yale University, is president of Roaring Brook Development Company (RBDC), a development services firm specializing in the upscale suburbs of DFW.
