Frisco City Council met on Oct. 20 to adopt a development agreement that will guide the park and trail components of The Link, a $1 billion mixed‑use district slated for the southeast corner of Legacy Drive and PGA Parkway.
Agreement details
The agreement sets out how developers will satisfy the city’s parkland obligations and how the municipality will offset eligible costs through park‑fee credits or refunds. The first construction phase, led by Stillwater Capital, includes a 3.5‑mile hike‑and‑bike trail that will connect residents of The Link with existing Frisco trail networks and nearby visitors.
Project scope
The Link will span roughly 240 acres and is designed to accommodate a blend of housing, office space, retail, entertainment and outdoor amenities. City planners estimate the development could generate about $10 million each year in property and sales‑tax revenue and create between 8,000 and 10,000 jobs once the projected 2 million‑2.5 million square feet of office space is built.
Zoning and future phases
In 2021 the council rezoned the same 240‑acre parcel, allowing for up to 2,206 multifamily units and up to 500 single‑family homes and cottages. The Link will be built in multiple phases, with direct access to Frisco’s broader hike‑and‑bike trail system planned for later stages.
Community impact
City documents state the interconnected park and trail facilities are intended to serve both residents of The Link and the surrounding neighborhoods. By providing dedicated outdoor space and active‑transport options, the project aligns with Frisco’s long‑term vision for livable, family‑friendly communities that balance growth with quality of life.
Next steps
The council’s approval clears the way for developers to move forward with detailed design work and construction scheduling. Ongoing coordination between the city’s Parks and Recreation Department and the developer will ensure that park fee credits are applied appropriately and that maintenance responsibilities are clearly defined.
Frisco residents can look forward to new recreational opportunities and economic benefits as The Link progresses toward completion.
