The planned redevelopment at Arapaho Center Station in Richardson is on pause due to funding concerns, City Manager Don Magner said. The mixed-use development would have covered roughly 30 acres around Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Arapaho Center Station.

The big picture: Magner said market conditions are currently not favorable for development of this nature.

“The cost of the capital that’s needed to build out the core infrastructure, as well as to finance the initial phases, is still too high,” Magner said. “We’re really trying to force something that the market is telling us isn’t ready.”

A closer look: Magner said the city also does not want to make the financial commitment to the development ahead of the upcoming state legislative session, where he said a number of new policies could worsen the city’s financial situation and restrict the economic development funding tools at its disposal.
