Sur Le Lac
Luxury lakeside living near Legacy West — Plano's only new-construction luxury condominium project, gated within Normandy Estates.
Plano's only new-construction luxury condo project.
When Starside Custom Builders launched Sur Le Lac in 2023, they introduced something rare to Plano's luxury market: brand-new, French-inspired condominiums in a gated lakeside setting, steps from Legacy West. This isn't a 1990s condo conversion — these are 2023–2024 construction luxury units designed specifically for the lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Sur Le Lac sits within Normandy Estates but operates as its own community with separate HOA, dedicated amenities, and underground parking. Just 40 units total across three buildings (A, B, C), fully built out with no additional phases planned. The intimate scale, comprehensive maintenance model, and immediate proximity to Legacy West create a unique value proposition for relocating executives, downsizing professionals, and frequent travelers.
A scarcity story, by design.
40 total units, ~75% absorbed by early 2025, and no additional phases planned within the Sur Le Lac footprint.
Sur Le Lac trades at premium positioning with a $618/sqft median, reflecting brand-new construction in a constrained-supply gated lakeside setting. 8 MLS sales since 2023 (including 2 resales), median 34 days on market. Inventory status: approximately 75% sold by early 2025 with no additional phases planned — future availability will depend almost entirely on resale activity, which has been minimal so far.

24/7 gated security, lakeside trails, and a full amenity center.
24/7 gated security within Normandy Estates. Private lake and walking trails wind through the property. Lap pool and spa at the Sur Le Lac amenity center. Clubhouse and fitness center with full kitchen, fireplace, and event space. Outdoor putting green for golf enthusiasts. Underground parking with two deeded spaces per unit plus a climate-controlled storage unit.
Relocating executives, downsizing empty-nesters, and frequent travelers.
Relocating executives transferring to Legacy West campuses (Toyota, Liberty Mutual, JPMorgan, FedEx). Downsizing luxury buyers transitioning from 5,000+ sq ft estates in Willow Bend, Kings Gate, or Cypress Creek Ranch. Frequent travelers and second-home owners who need genuine lock-and-leave capability.
Three buildings, forty units, fully built out.
Starside Custom Builders developed Sur Le Lac across three buildings (A, B, C) between 2023 and 2024 — 40 total units ranging from 2,342 to 2,991 square feet. Floor plans are typically 2–3 bedrooms with open layouts, premium finishes, and modern energy-efficiency standards throughout.
Every unit comes with two deeded underground parking spaces plus a climate-controlled storage unit — uncommon in Plano luxury condos. French-inspired exteriors keep the aesthetic coherent with adjacent Normandy Estates, but interiors are decidedly contemporary: smart-home infrastructure, modern energy efficiency, and floor plans built for empty-nesters and lock-and-leave professionals.
Inventory is finite by design. Once the remaining ~12 units sell, future availability depends entirely on resale activity — which has been minimal so far (just 2 resales in MLS since 2023). No additional phases are planned within the Sur Le Lac footprint.
Honest considerations.
Condo ownership at this price point trades convenience for governance.
The HOA Fee Is $1,691/Month
That's $20,300 annually — higher than most Plano neighborhoods and a deal-breaker for some buyers. But if you calculate what you'd pay independently for landscaping ($300–500/mo), pool service ($150–200/mo), building exterior maintenance ($200–400/mo), and amenity access, the gap narrows. You're paying for convenience, professional management, and genuine lock-and-leave capability.
Limited Remaining Inventory
With roughly 28 of 40 units sold by early 2025, Sur Le Lac is approaching sellout. No additional phases are planned. If this product appeals to you, waiting 6–12 months may eliminate options entirely.
Condo Association Governance
You're subject to HOA rules on exterior modifications, rental restrictions, pet policies (2 pets max, $500 deposit), and community standards. Review the HOA declaration and bylaws before purchase — condo ownership requires comfort with shared governance.
Tax Considerations
Consult your tax advisor, but condo HOA fees covering building insurance and maintenance may have different deductibility rules than single-family home ownership. Don't assume a 1:1 comparison.
Sur Le Lac is a special addition to Plano's real estate market — it's really the only luxury condo project with a residential feel. It's perfect for relocating executives and downsizing luxury buyers who want new construction, comprehensive amenities, zero maintenance burden, and a stone's throw to Legacy West. The HOA fee scares off some buyers until they calculate what they'd pay for landscaping, pool service, building maintenance, and property management on a comparable quality single-family home.
I'm watching this market closely because inventory is constrained — less than a dozen units remain from the original 40, and resale activity has been minimal (just 2 resales so far). When buyers discover they can pop over to Legacy West dinner reservations in under 5 minutes and return home to a lakeside sunset, the value proposition clicks. I consider Normandy Estates and Sur Le Lac one of the most "primo" locations in Plano.
Assigned to Plano ISD.
Most Sur Le Lac residents are empty-nesters or professionals without school-age children, but PISD assignment adds resale value and appeals to multi-generational buyers.

Where it sits & commute times.
Far West Plano (75024), gated within Normandy Estates. One mile to Legacy West — theoretically walkable. Two minutes east to the Dallas North Tollway, one minute north to Sam Rayburn (121). DFW is 20–25 minutes off-peak, downtown Dallas 25–35.
Key commute times
How it stacks up.
Built 2019, 58 units, adjacent to Stonebriar Country Club. Lower price point, smaller floor plans, 10 minutes to Legacy West. A reasonable comp for buyers prioritizing price over location.
High-rise built 2019, 98 units, skyline views. Urban vertical living vs. Sur Le Lac's suburban lakeside, and an established building rather than brand-new construction. Different lifestyle entirely.
129 homes, immediate Legacy West access. Individual maintenance required (no shared building services), no gated amenities or lake. Closer to Legacy West retail than Sur Le Lac, but without the lock-and-leave lifestyle.
