Collin Creek Mall redevelopment turning corner in construction From the cover

The backstory

Two-minute impact

Since breaking ground on the redevelopment in 2021, much of the focus has been below what residents would see driving down US 75. The construction has largely focused on the 1,976-space garage and the development’s sewer lines, Romo said. Any vertical progress has hinged on the construction of those two items, along with city approval processes. A lot of work has also been done to level off the building site, offsetting a “big dip” leading to the mall’s first floor, Braster said. “Most of the work that’s been going on is all underground,” Braster added. “There’s been a tremendous amount of work, and unfortunately, most of it isn’t visible. But that’s what it takes to turn a mall and a parking lot into a neighborhood.”

Also in the plans is a large retaining wall on the developments west side. Construction on the east side is waiting for improvements on city- owned culverts to finish, Romo said. “I think between now and the end of the year you’ll see a lot of progress,” Braster said.

A large underground parking garage and infrastructure for the project is “just finishing up,” Braster said, and those two items are expected to be completed before the end of the year. That garage’s completion also makes way for more visible projects, such as the two six-story apartment buildings with retail on the first floor that will be built on top of the parking garage.

Centurion American Vice President Rob Romo said construction on those two buildings are only waiting on approval from the city. He added that they could be completed in the “latter part of 2024.“
