At its October 14 meeting, the City Council approved a Special Use Permit (SUP) request paving the way for Flight Club, a new restaurant and entertainment venue coming to Village on the Parkway in the space formerly occupied by Sherlock's.
Flight Club combines elevated pub dining with a technology-infused darts experience known as Social Darts, a fast-paced, multiplayer game enhanced by real-time scoring and interactive digital displays. Each of the 12 “Oche” areas (the space from the throw line to the dartboard) features seating for groups of up to 12 players, blending friendly competition with food and drinks. The Addison location will be the 13th Flight Club in the U.S. and the second in Texas.
The approximately 9,000-square-foot space will include two bars, indoor and patio seating, and upgraded accessibility and landscaping improvements, including new Mountain Laurel trees and refreshed outdoor planters.

At its October 14 meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to the Planned Development District for AMLI Treehouse, paving the way for 30 fee-simple townhomes to be constructed on the west side of Midway Road, just north of the Redding Trail Dog Park, and for 26 fee-simple townhomes generally located at the southwest corner of Midway Road and Beltway Drive.
The amendment reflects design refinements following the selection of Cadence Homes as the townhomes builder. Cadence Homes, a DFW-based developer known for high-quality residential design, was chosen by AMLI Residential to deliver the fee-simple units within the mixed-use Treehouse development.
The changes include updated architectural elevations, allowing for a blend of brick, cedar-style fiber cement siding, and board-and-batten detailing, with masonry comprising 50–88% of each façade. Each three-story townhome will feature second-floor balconies, private fenced patios, and garage access at the rear. The amendment also adjusts minimum unit size from 2,000 to 1,800 square feet to allow design flexibility while maintaining spacious floor plans.
No changes were made to parking, open space, or landscaping requirements, and the project remains consistent with the vision established in the original Planned Development.

Special Events & Theatre Director Abby Morales provided answers about the operations and financial reconciliation of Addison Kaboom Town! at the October 14 City Council Meeting. Addison Kaboom Town!® is one of the nation’s most remarkable Independence Day celebrations and a signature event for the Town of Addison. Produced annually to promote tourism while supporting local hotels, restaurants, and businesses, the festival continues to draw visitors from across the region and beyond.
This year’s celebration marked the 40th Anniversary of the event. Festivities began with the Addison Airport Airshow, followed by a breathtaking fireworks display that could be enjoyed from restaurant watch parties, hotel balconies, and the award-winning festival in Addison Circle Park.
Overall event revenue increased by 45% compared to 2024, reflecting strong attendance and community engagement. Expenses also rose, primarily due to additional rental needs for tables, chairs, barriers, and fencing. Fireworks costs increased by $75,000, as approved by the City Council in February 2025.
