Why This Guide

New housing, parks, shopping, transportation, and public facilities are reshaping Celina, Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, and nearby communities. Some of that work is open today, some is under construction, and some is approved but not yet begun. This guide explains each project's reported status and lists its sources, with the type of source identified so you can weigh what is official versus what is reported.

Details are as published as of September 11, 2026, and can change.
