Construction has started on the first phase of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' Gates of Prosper mixed-use development in Prosper, Texas.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Jones’ Blue Star Land paired with developer Lincoln Property to build the $1 billion development on 500 acres. The first project, a 300,000-sf shopping center on 93 acres, is under way.
Jones bought the 500 acres of land nearly 20 years ago, but issues, incluing the recession of 2008, delayed building. The plan calls for retail space, including a Walmart, along with offices, apartments, and homes.
Lincoln Property and Jones are also tied together for the Cowboys’ new team headquarters and event center in Frisco, which will open in 2016.

Big-box giants downsize, open smaller, urban stores
As U.S. chain retailers absorb the lessons of the Great Recession, many big-box chains have started to shrink average store footprints to reflect the growing importance of multi-channel shopping, adapt to urban settings, and recognize the need to optimize portfolios. Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, and the Gap, among others, all have small concepts in the works or are adapting existing ones. These smaller store formats should allow the retailers to maximize profitability and open more stores in closer proximity to each other.
