Frisco’s Fields West and Plano’s Legacy West will be ‘sisters.’ Here’s what that means

The future of development in Frisco is continuously coming into sharper focus.The city is on the heels of landmark moments in recent months. It hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards at The Star in early May, creating a new understanding of the venue’s ability to host live music performances. Also in early May, the city celebrated the opening of PGA Frisco, which includes an Omni resort, a retail and restaurant district, outdoor public space, the new home of the PGA of America and two championship golf courses. Later that month, the region and country got a small glimpse at the overall impact of the landmark project as the site hosted its first major championship. Frisco also made national headlines at the beginning of the year with the announcement that Universal Studios had planned a venue for the Dallas suburb. It would be easy for Frisco to sit and look back on the collection of moments that have landed it on the national stage for the past multiple months. But that just wouldn’t be the Frisco way. Instead, a short jump from the site of the city’s latest milestone moment, work continues on another project that is slated to change how residents and visitors alike experience Frisco. Schematic design is underway on Fields West, a roughly 2,600-acre mixed-use development tucked between Legacy Drive and the Dallas North Tollway and settled just north of Panther Creek Parkway.
