About the Developer
Partners Mitchell Fielding and Terence Burnside of Fieldside Development Group are rapidly expanding their presence across North Texas. Fieldside has earned a reputation for delivering projects that thoughtfully balance community needs with long-term investment value.
Our introduction to Fieldside came through a business referral from an existing client. Our team was immediately impressed by Fieldside’s level of sophistication – as we learned they had created special districts and successfully oversaw two PID Bond issuances independent of any consultants.
About Fieldside
Despite being successful in this space before meeting our team, Fieldside was equally impressed by the strategic value our team brought to the table and began asking for our advice on all their transactions. Mitchell and Terence quickly engaged us to support a wider portfolio of projects—including new acquisitions, entitlement amendments, and long-range public finance planning. This strategy has allowed Fieldside to focus on what they excel in- acquiring promising properties and expanding their relationships with municipalities and builders, while our team leads the entitlement and financial process.
Despite their growing footprint, this team of boutique developers has maintained the warmth and character of the communities they serve. It’s been especially rewarding to help them work closely with local council to entitle a project in Terence’s hometown, preserving that small-town charm along the way.
A Growing Partnership
Since formalizing our relationship, T. Wilson has worked closely with the Fieldside team to advance multiple development opportunities across the region. In less than a year, this partnership has already resulted in two successfully approved development agreements, with several additional projects progressing through entitlement and pre-development phases.
Fieldside focuses on smaller, growing markets, where the ability to overcome infrastructure gap challenges at scale becomes increasingly imperative, as it is necessary to balance major infrastructure hurdles and absorb related costs over fewer lots than larger markets. By establishing a strong team—including Fieldside’s hands-on approach, experienced engineers and attorneys, and our team’s technical and financial expertise—we’ve been able to efficiently guide projects through the entitlement process, while also educating smaller communities on available financial tools, incentives, and infrastructure solutions.
Fieldside’s trust in our team has empowered us to introduce innovative, scalable solutions that align with their business model, maintaining strong project momentum and driving meaningful, community-focused outcomes.
Bonham: A Highlight of Success
One of the standout achievements in our partnership with Fieldside is the successful approval of a Development Agreement (DA) for their Bonham project. This 1,000-lot development is among Fieldside’s largest to date, with expected PID financing of approximately $51 million in gross PID bonds to be realized in phases over time.
To support this vision, our team led the establishment of a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ), unlocking an additional projected $10 million in reimbursements for eligible public improvements above what would have been available with the PID alone. This flexible financing structure enables Fieldside to make early investments in critical infrastructure—including roads, utilities, and drainage systems—while ensuring a sustainable path for long-term cost recovery.

A Special Thanks
Key officials and council at the City of Bonham, including Mayor H.L. Compton, City Manager Sean Pate, and their team understand well-planned growth, are well versed on public incentives, and were great partners on this and other entitlement projects in the city.
