Living in Collin Creek
Collin Creek is in central Plano, on the west side of US 75. Collin Creek Mall opened there in July 1981 and closed in July 2019. Its name combines Collin County and Spring Creek, which the mall was built over.
The site is being rebuilt as a mixed-use district of about $1 billion, with homes, offices, a hotel, a concert venue and restaurants. Most of the mall came down between August 2019 and September 2021. The first townhomes are already selling, and the shops are listed as coming soon.
