Big retailers, restaurants and 1,150 residences planned at north Frisco site
The sprawling Fields West project in north Frisco keeps gaining momentum, adding national retailers and restaurants to a development that backers say will reshape a portion of the city’s retail map. Developers say the luxury mixed-use complex is now 75 percent pre-leased with 44 signed leases and will include more than 360,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space plus Class A office space and high-end residences.
Fields West is the work of developer Fehmi Karahan and Karahan Companies, the team behind Legacy West. Construction began in fall 2025, and the development is expected to open in phases beginning in late 2027 and continuing through 2028. The site will include pedestrian-friendly pathways, broad sidewalks, paseos and landscaped gathering spaces intended to encourage foot traffic and outdoor dining.
“This announcement is a testament to the strength of Fields West, our partners, and the growth in North Texas. The momentum we have between our successful leasing combined with very rapid construction progress taking place daily is incredibly exciting,”
The announcement lists several well-known national names joining the roster, including Lululemon, Warby Parker, Sephora, Bloomingdale’s (listed as Bloomies in the release), Mastro’s Steakhouse — which will mark its first Dallas–Fort Worth location there — Shake Shack, North Italia, Sixty Vines, Sweetgreen, Tecovas, Flower Child, Evereve, Boll & Branch, and the bakery SusieCakes.
What’s planned and what it means for Frisco
Alongside the commercial component, Columbus Realty Partners is developing 1,150 high-end, urban living residences above retail and restaurants, giving the project a significant residential density component. That combination is intended to create a live-work-play environment similar to other successful North Texas mixed-use developments.
| Metric | Planned / Announced |
|---|---|
| Retail, dining, entertainment | 360,000 sq ft |
| Signed leases | 44 |
| Pre-leased | 75% |
| Residences | 1,150 high-end units |
The project’s scale and tenant mix signal confidence in Frisco’s retail market, despite national discussions of a so-called retail apocalypse. For residents, Fields West will bring new dining options and shopping within city limits, and it could also alter commuting and traffic patterns near the development as restaurants and stores begin to open. The inclusion of Class A office space may further increase daytime population density if companies lease space there.
- Phase openings are scheduled to begin in late 2027 and continue into 2028.
- The development emphasizes pedestrian access, green spaces and intuitive wayfinding.
- Mastro’s Steakhouse will make its first DFW appearance at Fields West.
Fields West’s strategy — pairing high-profile national brands with restaurants and apartments — mirrors what developers and some city planners have promoted as a way to create sustained foot traffic and reduce reliance on single-use shopping centers. That model was part of the draw that helped Legacy West become a regional destination.
For Frisco officials and residents, the arrival of more national retailers promises tax revenue and jobs, but it also raises familiar questions: how will increased traffic be managed, what will the impact be on neighborhood infrastructure, and how will the city balance new growth with existing commercial corridors? Developers say the center’s design focuses on accessibility with ample parking and clear wayfinding, but details about transportation improvements and traffic studies tied to the project have not yet been released.
As construction progresses daily, residents can expect a steady stream of tenant announcements. Fields West’s blend of shopping, restaurants, offices and residences aims to cement north Frisco’s appeal to both shoppers and renters looking for amenity-rich, walkable environments.
Local watchers will be paying attention to the first phase openings in late 2027 to see how the complex performs and how it integrates with Frisco’s growing commercial landscape.
