AECOM Hunt Breaks Ground on The Mix in Frisco
In a significant milestone for Frisco, Texas, AECOM Hunt, in collaboration with The Mix Partners, City of Frisco officials, and local community leaders, officially broke ground on The Mix, a groundbreaking mixed-use development that promises to transform the North Platinum Corridor. Spanning 112 acres, The Mix is poised to drive economic growth, enhance the regional business landscape, and create numerous job opportunities that will have a lasting impact for years to come.
The ceremonial groundbreaking marks the start of Phase I of the project, a crucial first step in realizing the vision of this expansive development. Located on the north end of the development site, Phase I will focus on the demolition and grading of a 28-acre section. Following this, the installation of new utilities and fire lanes will pave the way for future construction.
The initial phase of The Mix will be a dynamic mix of commercial, residential, and medical space, encompassing over 100,000 square feet of upscale retail, 114,000 square feet of medical office space, and 635 residential units. The inclusion of these spaces is designed to create a vibrant, diverse community, offering both employment and residential options, fostering a sense of community while contributing to the economic growth of Frisco.
Monte Thurmond, AECOM Hunt’s Executive Vice President and South Region Manager, expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “We are excited to begin the work ahead that will bring this long-anticipated project to life. The Mix will redefine the landscape of Frisco and prove to be a truly dynamic space that will benefit residents and businesses for years to come.”
When completed, The Mix will offer a wide range of features and amenities designed to enhance the quality of life for Frisco residents and businesses. The development will include:
- An 8-acre central park with an event lawn and performance pavilion, providing ample green space for events and gatherings.
- Over 16 acres of green open space, ideal for outdoor recreation and enhancing the natural beauty of the area.
