328-Acre Mixed-Use Project ‘Frisco Grove’ Gets Okay

It took a while but the plans for a large-scale mixed-use development were finally approved. And now everyone seems happy. The mayor and council of Frisco sent design consultant Kimley-Horn home empty-handed after numerous attempts, starting in 2017, to get a plan okayed.

Now, Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney says it was worth the wait, “A massive parcel that could have been very uninspiring and quite frankly, a detrimental plan for the entire area, has turned into something really beautiful.”

The developments, to be overseen by Brookfield Properties, will include a 425-unit multifamily community and retail shops, as well as a large single family home subdivision. The three-story apartments will sit directly behind the retail development along with a 4-acre public park to separate the apartments from the single-family homes. Brookfield is also developing a similar project nearby with patio townhomes, apartments and retail stores. The 154-acre community is already under construction.
