Plano's Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a zoning change, subject to the city's compliance ordinances, for 156.3 acres for an urban mixed-use development on the southwest corner of Plano Parkway and Alma Drive in its meeting Oct. 6.
The development by Rosewood Property Group, called Heritage 190, is planned as an urban village anchored by a major office complex with retail, restaurants and 1,300 apartment units. Phase 1 of the project would include restaurants, office or retail, multifamily units, townhomes, detached single-family units, an improved creek, parks and pedestrian bridges.
President and CEO of RPC Bill Flaherty said the group is ready to begin Phase 1 as soon as possible if the development were approved.
"There is market demand and we are in detailed discussions with a corporate office user that would be relocating jobs here," Flaherty said. "We believe this is a significant opportunity for this part of Plano."
