Universal Frisco Construction Underway

A 300-room hotel is the first structure taking shape at the Universal Kids Resort at the northeast corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Panther Creek Parkway in Frisco. Besides the hotel, there will be rides, shows, and a range of restaurants and shops.

The Dallas Business Journal reports contractors have also prepared foundations for a possible SpongeBob SquarePants-themed structure, dug trenches for a planned water ride and paved a new six-lane road connecting Dallas Parkway to Panther Creek Parkway, Orlando Park Shop reported recently.

2026 is the planned opening timeframe for the resort. The delivery would be in time for the massive crowds expected in the region for the FIFA World Cup. Arlington’s AT&T Stadium is set to host more games than any other site for the global soccer tournament, with a total of nine matches, including five in the group stage.

The project will be part of Fields West, a 4 million square foot development of office, apartments, retail, dining and entertainment.,
