A Trader Joe’s-anchored mixed-use proposal in Frisco is moving forward following a recent planning board approval, with the project now slated for review by the Frisco City Council on October 6. The plan, as reported by Community Impact, calls for a combination of retail and senior housing on a multi-acre site.
The proposed development would feature a 12,500-square-foot Trader Joe’s grocery store alongside a 158-unit senior living facility, with additional mixed-use components also contemplated as part of the overall plan. The project is designed to bring new retail and senior housing options to Frisco in a single coordinated phase of construction.
The site is located at the southwest corner of Majestic Gardens Drive and Main Street. According to the report, the property had previously been zoned to allow retail, office and single-family residential uses. The new proposal would reorganize that program into a concentrated mixed-use concept anchored by a national grocery tenant and a sizable senior housing component.
In total, the development would span 9.4 acres. Within that footprint, 3.22 acres are designated for the Trader Joe’s building and associated improvements, while 6.18 acres are allocated to the senior living facility. The specific design details and any additional mixed-use elements beyond the grocery and senior housing components were not described in the report.
The Trader Joe’s store and the senior living facility are planned to be constructed in a single phase. As part of the entitlement framework, the senior living facility is not permitted to open until the Trader Joe’s store has opened. This sequencing links the timing of the senior housing component directly to the successful completion and activation of the grocery anchor.
At this stage, neither the Trader Joe’s store nor the senior living facility has an announced construction start date, and no contractor has been identified for the project. The absence of a published schedule underscores that the development remains in the entitlement and planning phase, pending the outcome of the upcoming city council vote.
The Frisco City Council is expected to evaluate the proposed Trader Joe’s mixed-use development at its October 6 meeting. That decision will determine whether the planning board’s approval is affirmed and whether the project can proceed toward permitting, design finalization and eventual construction on the Majestic Gardens Drive and Main Street site.
