Frisco’s $3 Billion The Mix Development Is Finally Taking Shape. Here’s What’s Coming

by Christina Money

For years, this corner of Frisco has been the development everyone talked about but nobody actually saw moving.

Now that is changing.

Construction is officially pushing forward on The Mix, Frisco’s massive $3 billion mixed-use development at the corner of Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road, and it is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated projects in North Texas. What was once a stalled piece of land is now turning into a 112-acre urban district designed to blend luxury residential living, shopping, dining, office space, hotels, and entertainment all into one walkable environment.

And this is not a small neighborhood shopping center.

This is one of those developments that has the potential to completely reshape how this part of Frisco functions.

What Is Coming to The Mix in Frisco?

Phase One is already underway and includes:

635 residential apartment and urban living units
Over 100,000 square feet of upscale retail
115,000 square feet of Class A office space
Frisco’s very first Whole Foods Market
Structured parking garages
A large portion of the development’s future central park

Yes — Frisco is finally getting the Whole Foods residents have been asking for for years, and that grocery anchor alone tells you the type of clientele and retail experience this project is targeting.

This is very intentionally being built as an upscale, lifestyle-driven district.

Not just a place to shop.

A place where people live, work, eat, and spend entire weekends.

The Heart of The Mix Will Be Its Massive Central Park

One of the standout features planned here is an approximately 8 to 9 acre central park surrounded by restaurants, patios, gathering areas, and pedestrian-friendly public spaces. Developers have made it clear this is being designed less like a traditional suburban retail center and more like a dense destination with an urban feel.

Think more walkability.
More green space.
More “park once and stay awhile.”

That is exactly the kind of development North Texas buyers are gravitating toward right now.

This Project Is Much Bigger Than Phase One

Once fully built out, The Mix is expected to include:

Nearly 3,300 residential units
More than 2 million square feet of office space
375,000 square feet of retail and dining
Two hotels
Medical office space
Additional entertainment and hospitality components

In other words, this becomes an entire mini-city inside Frisco.

And because it sits directly on the Tollway at Lebanon, visibility and access are about as prime as it gets.

Why Everyone Is Watching This Development

Frisco has no shortage of big projects.

But The Mix is different because it fills one of the last major premium corners along the Tollway with something far more integrated than a normal shopping center or apartment project.

This is the kind of development that shifts traffic patterns, attracts luxury retail, drives surrounding restaurant demand, and makes nearby real estate more desirable simply because of proximity.

Buyers increasingly shop by lifestyle now.

They ask:

“What is nearby?”
“Can I walk places?”
“How close am I to restaurants, grocery, and entertainment?”

The Mix answers all of that in one place.

And as this starts delivering in phases over the next couple of years, expect this Lebanon/Tollway corridor to become an even hotter part of Frisco than it already is.

Because The Mix is no longer just a rendering.

It is officially becoming real.
