Key Developments to Watch
1. The $10 B “Fields” Development in Frisco
One of the most talked-about projects: a family-focused attraction by Universal (yes, a theme park) is planned inside The Fields in Frisco. It’s a game-changer for families relocating or buying in the area.
Why it matters for homebuyers: Proximity to major-scale entertainment increases neighborhood appeal and may boost resale values.
2. New Construction Hotspots in DFW Suburbs
Suburbs such as McKinney, Celina, Forney and others are seeing surges of new-home construction. In fact, the region is seeing more builder permits than nearly every city in the U.S. in 2025.
Implication: More options for buyers (especially first-timers), but also potential for increased competition and infrastructure demands.

3. Infrastructure & Transit Projects
The expansion of transit, mixed-use urban villages, and infrastructure improvements are underway. For example, major developments are set to transform connectivity and lifestyle in the metro area. Life As Dehvon+1

What It Means for You (as Buyer, Seller or Investor)
-
Buyers: If you’re looking in areas with big-growth developments, you might benefit from incentives (builders want to fill homes) and strong resale potential.
-
Sellers: Listing in a neighborhood near one of these developments can be a great talking point — “near the theme park” or “in the new construction boom zone” resonates.
-
Investors: Pay attention to suburbs where infrastructure is improving or major developments are coming. These are often the spots where value accelerates.
