Fields West in Frisco Secures $425 Million Construction Loan
Fields West, an ambitious mixed-use development located in Frisco, Texas, has secured a significant $425 million construction loan, marking a major milestone for the project. This financial boost, finalized on July 1, encompasses funding from established banks including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Prosperity Bank.
Adding to this financial momentum, the City of Frisco has actively participated in the project’s funding by selling $70 million in municipal bonds on June 27. This collaborative financial support underscores the city’s commitment to enhancing its urban landscape and economic potential.
Overview of the Development
Spanning 55 acres, Fields West is a key component of the larger 2,500-acre Fields master-planned community. This integrated urban village, spearheaded by Fehmi Karahan, the President and CEO of The Karahan Companies, aims to provide a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Karahan is well-regarded for previously developing Legacy West in North Texas, adding to the anticipation surrounding Fields West.
Exciting Features and Offerings
Upon completion, Fields West will boast an exciting array of attractions, including 350,000 square feet of shopping, dining, and entertainment space. Additionally, it promises 325,000 square feet of Class A office space, establishing itself as a dynamic business hub within the community.
Construction has already commenced with phased openings expected to roll out from Q3 2027 into 2028. Notably, around 70% of the retail space has already been pre-leased, demonstrating strong interest from various national brands and boutique retailers.
Some of the prominent brands that are set to open at the development include Bloomie’s, marking the first Texas location of Bloomingdale’s innovative concept, alongside other well-known retailers such as Alo Yoga, Arhaus, Kendra Scott, Pottery Barn, Sephora, and Williams Sonoma among others. These committed brands reflect a keen interest in establishing a presence in this vibrant urban center.
Diverse Dining Experiences
Beyond shopping, Fields West promises to elevate dining experiences in the region. It will feature an impressive lineup of restaurants, including Green Point, Claremont, Mexican Sugar, Sixty Vines, and Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar. Additionally, it will host Mastro’s Steakhouse, which will be making its debut location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area at Fields West, further appealing to discerning diners.
Future Developments and Infrastructure
The project is strategically designed to be a walkable mixed-use center, promoting ease of access for visitors and residents alike. In a bid to bolster the area’s hospitality offerings, two hotels are also planned for the development, although these are currently under negotiation and are not part of the existing construction financing.
Furthermore, Fields West has partnered with Trammell Crow Co. to explore opportunities for corporate office tenants that would occupy an additional 47 acres of the development space. This collaboration aims to position the area as a prime destination for businesses looking for modern, amenity-rich office environments.
A Vision for the Future
Fields West is a segment of the grand $10 billion Fields development, which also includes a Universal Kids Resort and the new PGA of America headquarters, reinforcing Frisco’s status as one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. With such significant investments in infrastructure and community ventures, the impact of Fields West is poised to resonate throughout the Frisco area for years to come, making it a pivotal development in North Texas.
