Wylie-based developer Daydra Management has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on The District, a master-planned, mixed-use community in Wylie which was set to include 34 townhomes, 149 apartments, and 200,000 square feet of commercial space.

The development is being overseen by Wylie-based real estate agency Heritage Properties and was pre-leasing for its commercial space prior to the filing.

At the time of writing, 95 percent of its townhomes were also pre-sold. According to the filing, the liabilities for the development’s ownership entity are estimated to be between $50 million to $100 million. Neither Daydra nor Heritage Properties could be reached for comment.
