Forney, Texas, is gearing up for a major retail transformation with the addition of a 148,900-square-foot Target store. Located at 11520 East U.S. Highway 80, this Target will be one of the key anchor tenants for the expansive Villages at Gateway development.
A Strategic Location Along U.S. 80
Target’s placement in Forney is no coincidence. The site sits conveniently off U.S. Highway 80, making it easily accessible for both residents and commuters. Situated near the intersection of North Gateway Boulevard, this location taps into the growing demand for retail options in the fast-expanding community of Forney and surrounding areas.
Part of a Larger Vision
Target is just the beginning of what’s planned for the 120-acre Villages at Gateway project. The development will feature 500,000 square feet of retail space in its first phase, including other anchor tenants like H-E-B and Home Depot. Smaller retailers, such as Ross and Burlington, and dining options, will round out the shopping experience.
Evolution of the Area
The land surrounding the site of the new Target has seen a dramatic transformation. Once open fields, this area is poised to become a retail hub for Kaufman County. Historical aerial imagery shows how Forney has evolved from its railroad roots to a thriving suburban city. Target’s arrival cements the shift towards modern development, bringing convenience and variety to the area.
