Please Note: Several large projects are expected to come online starting in 2012, including Phillips Creek Ranch and the Lawler parcels, as well as two MF and one Mixed-Use project. Other large projects that should make an impact at the mid to latter half of the decade (and into the next) include Main Place, Frisco Market Center, and Newman Village. These projects alone, when completed, will add approx. 31,000 people / 12,700 units.
