As vertical progress begins on the project, Romo expects construction on the first phase of the development to finish late next year. Braster said he hopes the Collin Creek Mall can serve as an “anchor” for Plano’s US 75 corridor.
A major factor in the support for the Collin Creek Mall project is “neighborhood vitality” and keeping the mall from any further decline that would depreciate home values in the area, Braster said. “We really needed to inhibit any further decline not only right around the mall but really down the whole [US 75] corridor,” Braster said. “We wanted to keep those neighborhoods fantastic and make sure it’s a place that people want to live.”

Developers received final approval for the 402 single-family houses and townhomes from Plano’s Planning and Zoning Commission in May. Three different companies—Mattamy Homes, Ashton Woods and Brightland Homes—all have sites that are ready to begin construction on homes along Alma Drive, Braster said. There are also 98 more townhomes planned for the south side of the project. “It’s really exciting to see these street signs going up,” Commissioner Michael Bronsky said.
500 single family homes
“We didn’t want the mall to even start to bring [that area] down. … We were at a crossroad, and we had to pick the path forward.”
