osewood Property Company will soon break ground on a four-stor y, 326unit multifamily project in the Heritage Creekside development in southern Plano. Around the same time, work will also begin on 32 townhomes in the same vicinity. These two projects will be the first on Heritage Creekside’s west side. The entire 156-acre development, which is only half-built, spans an area south of Plano Parkway and north of the President George Bush Turnpike between Custer Road and Alma Drive. Planning for the massive project began in 2014. Developers worked with Plano leaders to enact the city’s first “urban mixed-use” zoning designation. It was intended to create a more pedestrian-friendly

environment that promotes social interaction and efficient use of land and resources. Since groundbreaking on the first phase in 2016, Rosewood has overseen the construction of 636 apartment homes as well as 200 townhomes and 59 single-family tracts. They have also built more than 23,578 square feet of retail and restaurant space, including popular neighborhood spots like Rodeo Goat and Flying Fish. “Our retail partners made it through the pandemic and are performing well,” Rosewood Vice President Tim Harris says. “Our tenant base is strong, and the businesses are thriving despite the challenges.” The booming real estate market has allowed Rosewood to execute its master plan more aggressively, Harris says. However, that plan is also evolving.
