135-Acre MXU Coming to Allen on Former Strand Site

JaRyCo is partnering with the Johnson family to develop their family farmland into a mixed-use property located at the southeast corner of Sam Rayburn Tollway and Alma Drive in Allen. The property, which was previously planned to be the Strand development, has been in the Johnson family since 1964 and will be transformed into The Farm in Allen, a 135-acre project.

At full buildout, the Farm in Allen will include more than 1.6 million square feet of office, 142,000 square feet of retail, a 150-key hotel, 60,000 square feet of restaurants, townhomes and 2,400 apartments. The infrastructure construction is planned to begin in late 2020.

“The project’s phases will be determined by the market needs, but overall, with office, dining, entertainment and residences, we will be creating a master planned, walkable community that will be a new destination for Allen and the surrounding areas,” said JaRyCo president Bruce Heller.
