PLANO, Texas \u2014<\/strong> The $1 billion redevelopment of the former Collin Creek Mall has entered its first visible phase, with 130 homes now occupied<\/a> on the 100-acre site, according to a Feb. 4 update from developer Centurion American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developer reported 402 lots had been delivered to builders, with another 98 expected by the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broader vision for Collin Creek is far larger than the housing now on the ground. Project materials describe a walkable mixed-use district<\/a> featuring roughly 500 attached single-family residences, 2,300 multifamily units, 300 independent-living residences, 8.9 acres of parks, 1.6 miles of trails, 340,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a 200-room hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, however, housing is the clearest sign of progress. Connect CRE reported in February that 412 apartment units<\/a> were still awaiting permits, while construction moved forward on the retail portion of the project, underscoring that much of the redevelopment remains in the buildout stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homebuilding is led by Ashton Woods, DRB Homes and Mattamy Homes. Current listings show modern two- and three-story townhomes with open-concept layouts and two-car garages, though pricing and floor plans vary by builder. Ashton Woods is marketing three- and four-bedroom homes starting around $470,000, while DRB is offering at least one quick move-in, two-bedroom home at $469,690.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project materials place Collin Creek in Plano ISD, noting the development is being built around future city-owned parks, 1.6 miles of walking trails, and a shared amenity space with a pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City records show Plano bought 3.3 acres near the site in 2021 to help connect the Chisholm Trail<\/a> and expand access for culvert work, a sign that the public-space portion of the project is being shaped by city action alongside private development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plano backed the redevelopment early with public financing tied to infrastructure<\/a>. A 2019 development agreement stated the city would help fund public improvements and a major drainage-culvert renovation. In 2020, the city approved an interlocal agreement including a $15 million grant and a $15 million loan for the project. Later actions relied on tax-increment and public-improvement-district financing to support the infrastructure work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The redevelopment reflects a broader push in built-out suburbs to replace failing malls with housing, public space and new commercial activity rather than allowing growth to sprawl farther outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Collin Creek, early housing numbers prove the project has moved beyond the planning stage. But as of April 1, 2026, the larger test remains ahead: whether the apartments, retail, hotel and public spaces arrive on pace to turn the former mall site into the mixed-use district promised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
