Realizing a vision: Collin Creek Mall redevelopment turns focus above ground
Four years after work started, drivers on US 75 are finally seeing the progress at Collin Creek Mall.
Two of the five large piles of dirt blocking the view of the soon-to-be mixed-use development—which will feature retail, homes, apartments, two parks and more—are now gone, with the other three set to be removed “in short order,” Plano Director of Special Projects Peter Braster said.
