In the mid-1980s, Scharbauer Brothers and Company, Inc., began development of a portion of their real estate holdings in Midland County. This land was on the west side of Midland and was located between the Midland City Limits and the Midland International Airport. With the foresight to direct development for many years in the future in regards to this almost 20,000 acres of land, they first began with a Master Land-Use Plan that reflected the City of Midland’s growth patterns, needs, and existing infrastructure and transportation corridors.
The result was a flexible blueprint for future land development that addressed mixed-use residential, office, local retail, commercial, industrial, sports facilities, a golf course, warehousing, parks, schools, medical complexes, and aviation-related developments. While specific areas have been modified slightly, the Master Land-Use Plan has been a tremendous planning document and guideline for development.
Parkhill began working for SBC in 1986, as the very first phase of actual construction began taking place in what is called Grassland Estates. Parkhill has almost exclusively represented the families’ interest in development during this time period including:
- Planning – 8211; Platting – 8211; Zoning
