From a 9-acre central park to Whole Foods and walkable spaces, the project is well underway

Progress is continuing on one of Frisco’s most closely watched developments, and new details are offering a clearer picture of what’s ahead.

The Mix, a $3 billion mixed-use project located at the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road, is steadily moving forward as construction advances. Planned as a 112-acre destination, the development is designed to bring together residential, retail, office, dining and hospitality into a single, walkable environment.

What’s Coming In Phase 1

The first phase of The Mix is already taking shape, with infrastructure, residential buildings and commercial spaces progressing.

Phase 1 is expected to include:


Residential units designed for a range of lifestyles
Office and medical office space
Retail and dining, including Frisco’s first Whole Foods Market
Structured parking and walkable streets

The inclusion of Whole Foods signals a key anchor for the development, helping establish it as both a neighborhood hub and a regional destination.

A Central Park At The Core Of The Project

One of the defining features of The Mix is its focus on outdoor space. Plans include a 9-acre central park, known as “Central Park,” which will serve as a gathering place surrounded by restaurants, retail and public spaces. The park is expected to anchor the development, creating a natural hub for both residents and visitors.

Beyond the central park, the project incorporates additional green space and pedestrian-friendly design, reinforcing the broader vision of a connected, lifestyle-driven environment rather than a traditional retail center.

A Large-Scale Vision Years In The Making

The Mix represents a major transformation of a site that has long been in flux. Earlier plans outlined a development with more than 3,300 residential units, underscoring the scale and long-term impact of the project, as previously reported in Local Profile’s coverage of The Mix’s residential buildout.

The project gained momentum following significant city support, including a major public investment agreement that helped move development forward and reestablish the site as a priority for Frisco’s growth.

Construction officially began in January 2026 as part of a new phase for the development, marking a turning point after years of stalled progress and repositioning the project as one of the most ambitious in North Texas.

Why The Mix Continues To Draw Attention

The Mix stands out not just for its size, but for its role in shaping Frisco’s next chapter. With plans for residential living, office space, retail, hotels and entertainment all in one place, the development is designed to function as a fully integrated district. Its location along the Dallas North Tollway further positions it as a high-visibility destination within the region.

The combination of scale, location and mixed-use design continues to drive interest from both residents and businesses as the project moves forward.

What To Expect Next

While construction is ongoing, the project remains a multi-phase development that will continue to evolve over several years.

Phase 1 is currently expected to open around 2027, with additional phases expanding the footprint and bringing more components online over time.

As progress continues, The Mix is beginning to move from concept to reality, offering a clearer look at how one of Frisco’s largest developments could reshape the area’s landscape in the years ahead.
