Collin Creek in Plano: From Mall to New Mixed Use Community

The former Collin Creek Mall in Plano, Texas, is transforming into a new mixed-use community. As of March 2025, new homeowners have already moved in. The project marks a major milestone in the $1 billion redevelopment effort.

Centurion American Development Group is leading the transformation. The new homes range from 1,522 to 2,413 square feet. Prices start at $479,990. Builders Ashton Woods, Brightland Homes, and Mattamy Homes are handling construction. Their designs focus on modern living with urban conveniences.

The plan includes 500 single-family residences. Move-ins began in October 2024, and more homes will be ready throughout 2025. This rapid growth is turning the area into a popular residential hub.

The redevelopment will introduce 340,000 square feet of retail and dining space. However, no major tenants have been announced yet. The community will feature a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

A $67 million underground parking garage is now complete. It includes nearly 2,000 spaces, making the area more accessible. Residents will also enjoy 8.9 acres of parks and 1.6 miles of walking trails. These green spaces will enhance the walkability of the community.

Collin Creek Mall

The Collin Creek Mall area in 2005 shows a bustling shopping center with a full parking lot.

Collin Creek Mall, opened in 1981, was built over a creek that still flows beneath the property. The mall featured a river walk, fountains, and an indoor creek. By the time it closed, only a central fountain remained. The mall originally had five anchor stores: JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, Sears, Sanger Harris, and Dillard’s. The Sanger Harris store became Macy’s in 2006, and Lord & Taylor was converted into a Mervyn’s department store. In 1990, Lord & Taylor closed, marking the beginning of the mall’s decline. When the mall closed in 2019, the Mervyn’s space had transformed into Amazing Jake’s restaurant and playland.
