- Fields West, a Frisco mixed-use development, has pre-leased 75% of its retail and dining space with seven new tenants.
- The new leases include brands like Lululemon, Boll & Branch, and Flower Child, bringing the roster to 44 retail and restaurant tenants.
- This adds momentum to the 55-acre urban village, part of the 2,545-acre Fields master plan aiming for 11M SF of commercial and office space.
Pre-Leasing Surges in Frisco’s Mixed-Use Pipeline
Plano-based The Karahan Companies has signed pre-leases with seven additional retail and dining brands at Fields West. Commercial Cafe reported the new commitments. Fields West sits within the larger Fields master-planned project in north Frisco, a rapidly developing Dallas suburb. The new tenants have pushed Fields West to 75% pre-leased. That pace reflects strong demand for amenity-rich, walkable destinations across growing North Texas communities.
The latest deals join a 44-tenant roster curated around what Karahan calls a luxury urban village. The commitments signal strong retailer interest well ahead of the project’s phased 2027–2028 launch. The Karahan Companies says Fields West sits within a 2,545-acre master plan targeting 11M SF of workspace. That scale underscores Frisco’s ongoing commercial expansion. The urban village concept also targets population growth and changing retail demand for high-density, mixed-use environments.

The Details
The seven new tenants include Boll & Branch, Evereve, Flower Child, Lululemon, SusieCakes, Tecovas, and Warby Parker. Their commitments bring Fields West’s total roster to 44 retail and restaurant tenants. The 55-acre development will include 360,000 SF of retail, dining, and entertainment space. It will also feature 350,000 SF of class A office space.
Columbus Realty Partners will deliver 1,150 high-end residences, strengthening the project’s integrated, mixed-use vision. The first openings are scheduled for late 2027, with additional phases continuing into 2028. Construction remains underway as leasing continues. Developer Fehmi Karahan has described the current pre-leasing pace as rapid.
North Texas Retail Leasing Outpaces National Trends
Fields West’s leasing performance stands out against broader US retail trends. National retail vacancy reached a two-decade low of 4% in Q2 2026, according to CBRE. However, pre-leasing rates and rent growth have cooled across many markets after a decade-long development surge.
Frisco and Dallas-Fort Worth continue attracting tenants and investors as employment and population grow. Fields West has reached 75% pre-leasing several years before completion, exceeding national benchmarks. Its office, retail, residential, trails, and amenities create additional differentiation. Walkable mixed-use environments remain relatively scarce across the region.
Why It Matters
Seven new household-name tenants this far ahead of opening signal confidence in Fields West and the Frisco submarket. CBRE says Dallas-Fort Worth led all US metros in net retail absorption during the first half of 2026. Suburban development and demographic growth helped drive that performance. High-income, fast-growing areas like north Frisco remain particularly attractive.
Frisco’s broader transformation also includes major public investments, including the recent groundbreaking of the city’s long-planned Grand Park. The 1,000-acre project will add trails, green space, and recreational amenities near expanding residential and commercial districts. Fields West also shows how retail location strategies continue evolving. Brands increasingly want early positions within mixed-use projects supported by residential, office, and amenity anchors. Landlords are also prioritizing upscale, wellness, and lifestyle brands that can support all-day activity. Fields West combines over 1,100 residences with more than 700,000 SF of retail and office space. Its trails, walkability, and green spaces could strengthen its appeal to tenants and long-term investors.
What’s Next
Fields West could announce additional tenant commitments as construction advances toward its phased 2027 opening. Karahan expects leasing momentum to remain strong amid demand for high-quality, amenitized space across Frisco. The broader Fields master plan will gradually add office, retail, and residential uses across 2,545 acres.
That pipeline positions the district for continued growth and investment. CRE professionals should watch Fields West for leasing comps, absorption benchmarks, and evolving tenant-mix strategies. Its performance could influence future mixed-use development strategies across the Sun Belt.
