Because it is only the second year of a decade-long development plan, it is hard to imagine what the 2,400-acre Towne Lake master-planned community will look like when completed.

But developer Caldwell Companies has created an interactive kiosk in the community's welcome center, 9214 W. Bridgeport Pass Circle, to illustrate the scope of what is to come on that property that stretches from U.S. 290 to West Road along Barker-Cypress Road.

The centerpiece of the community is a 350-acre recreational lake that is under construction. About half of that lake will be completed at the end of this year. When finished, there will be 14 miles of shoreline.
