Carrollton is a perennially popular location due to its easy access to both Plano and Dallas. Greenbrick Partners recently purchased 14 acres in Carrollton, at the southeast quadrant of Plano Parkway and Parker Road, where the company plans to build a total of 86 single-family homes.

Construction on the land is scheduled to begin in July. The currently vacant land is part of 100 total acres under development for homes and townhomes by different builders. 

The new homes will be adjacent to the Austin Ranch community. Austin Ranch and the surrounding area is seeing a resurgence of interest prompted in part by the development of Plano’s Legacy West. Like Legacy West, Austin Ranch is a mixed-use development that includes homes, restaurants, and major employers.

International pharmaceutical company AmerisourceBergen is building a facility on the northwest quadrant of Plano Parkway and Parker Road. The company broke ground in April on a facility that will hold up to 3,000 workers when it is completed next year.
