What’s next
Construction of a new road connecting Spring Creek to Parkwood across the development was finished late last year, Plano Lead Planner Donna Sepulvado said. The new road, called Pinehaven Drive, encom- passes more than 350,000 square for its total right of way, and it paved the way for future development. Day confirmed that the road had to be finished to start construction. The first of two 350-unit multifamily devel- opments, located just west of the park and just north of Pinehaven, is the first building to begin construction at Haggard Farm. Phase 1 will also feature 187 townhomes on the south end of the property. A January zoning change expanded the townhomes from 13 acres to 18.8 acres by removing the administrative office buildings in the original plan, according to city documents. The last piece of Phase 1 will be a retail district, anchored by an 8,000-square-foot restaurant and
bar called The Almanac 1856 and a 16,000-square- foot event barn called Haggard Hall. Sepulvado said plans for the retail district have been conditionally approved, and the developer is currently finishing engineering plans. “It’ll have more of a nostalgic feeling to it, at least in the retail part,” Muns said. “I think it will bring something really unique. ... As big as Plano is, I don’t think we have anything like that.”
The first phase of construction— including the apartment building, retail district and townhomes—is expected to be finished in 2027, per prior Community Impact reporting. An office building just west of the first apartment complex was originally planned as part of the first phase but is currently on hold, Sepulvado said. The second phase will include retail, the second multifamily building and a hotel, while the third phase will follow with additional retail and office development. “Knowing some of the developers that have done work either locally or in Plano before, it gives us some real assurance that they’re going to do something that’s pretty special,” Muns said.
“We’re glad that they’re finally able to move forward and get this thing done. ...
I know it’s going to be successful.” JOHN MUNS, PLANO MAYOR
