Retail activity is ramping up significantly at Lucy Billingsley’s $2 billion Sloan Corners development in Allen, Texas, with three new tenants preparing to open. Thus, other construction stages will start this fall throughout the large-scale mixed-use complex. The Sloan Corners project is one of the largest retail and mixed use projects in North Texas. The project is also continuing its strategic expansion of jobs and retail with the addition of more jobs and retail in the quick-growing Allen market.
Billingsley Co. has a large-scale master plan for Sloan Corners that is in several stages of completion. In particular, the development combines retail, office, dining and entertainment functions throughout the mixed-use property. So, the three incoming tenants indicate high market demand and development activity at Allen. Another major project advancing is the Dr Horton mixed housing community near Eno River. D.R. Horton, listed on the NYSE as DHI, in 2024 submitted revised site plans for Eno Village following the March 2023 legal settlement—a prospective 382-unit residential community featuring a blend of townhomes and apartments.
Outlook on the Sloan Corners Mixed-Use Development in Texas
The Sloan Corners development anchors a 30-acre central park serving as the community gathering space for the entire campus. In addition, retail business will line the park, providing a truly walkable area which will link office, residential and entertainment areas. The location of the development is significant for attracting increased flow of consumers from Allen’s booming population.
In addition, the Sloan Corners project brings office space to the area that will draw professional services and corporate tenants to look for high quality office space in North Texas. A mix of programming ensures year-round activation with food, retail, and entertainment options for the employees and visitors alike.
Billingsley Co. Executes Phased Development Strategy
Throughout Texas, Lucy Billingsley has helped complete large-scale mixed-use projects, and Sloan Corners is her most ambitious project in North Texas. In particular, a phased approach enables incremental buildout to accommodate market absorption and tenant demand. Besides, the staggered construction phase allows infrastructure coordination and traffic management during the implementation of the construction.
The beginning of construction in the fall of 2026 is a major step forward in the project. In addition, the building of retail shells and the preparation of other parcels is a sign of a market’s confidence in continued demand for the Allen location.
