Collin-Creek-Mall-Plano-Texas

PLANO, TEXAS — Metro Dallas-based development firm Centurion America has acquired the majority of the Collin Creek Mall in Plano, with plans to spend $1 billion to convert the 1.1 million-square-foot shopping destination into a mixed-use development.  According to Community Impact Newspaper, the company acquired the anchor buildings formerly occupied by Macy’s, Dillard’s and Sears, as well as the interior structure of the mall. John Schupp, Mike Kennedy and Darrell Betts of Avison Young brokered the sale of the mall and the adjacent property formerly occupied by Sears. Once rezoning is approved, construction is slated to begin in summer 2019. The project is expected to be completed in multiple phases with a final completion date tentatively set for 2021. The future of the mall, which has faced declining occupancy in recent years, has been uncertain since Dallas developer Sam Ware’s bid to acquire the property fell through in 2018.
