Work is moving forward on JPI’s Merritt Park development in Rowlett. City Council filings show that the site sits west of Merritt Road, about 900 feet south of the President George Bush Turnpike. Street views and recent city documents confirm that the land has been cleared, marking the first visible step toward construction.
The Merritt Park project will bring a new multifamily community to this stretch of Rowlett. JPI’s plans, filed under the city’s Form‑Based Code, indicate a residential build designed to fit the growing corridor along the turnpike. The development sits in a zone that has quickly shifted from farmland to active construction.
Nearby, earthwork is also underway on parcels labeled as the Lakeview Business District, which is expected to add new industrial and office space. While this activity is separate from JPI’s project, it highlights how the Merritt Road and PGBT area is undergoing rapid transformation.
