New retail and restaurants could be on the horizon for Prosper Trail near the future Dallas North Tollway.

Zooming out: A potential boutique shopping area would be the first step forward for a $300 million, 35-acre mixed-use development known as the Prosper Arts District that has faced delays since its approval in 2024.

Some details: The retail area would be located on the corner of Prosper Trail and Shawnee Trail, which is consistent with conceptual plans approved by Prosper Town Council in 2024.

The gist: Conceptual plans from 2024 include a retail village, restaurants, offices, hotels and apartments with structured parking.

In his own words: “The goal is to start [building the] retail as soon as we can,” developer Krishna Nimmagadda said. “Then we wait for how things go, how partners come in, how the markets evolve.”

Summer Moon Coffee will soft-open in Prosper on Nov. 16 and celebrate its grand opening on Nov. 21, a company representative said in an email.

In case you missed it: The cafe previously planned to hold its grand opening on Nov. 7, according to prior reporting.

On the menu: Summer Moon Coffee serves coffee roasted in-house, according to the company’s website. The Texas-based chain’s menu features drinks made with Moon Milk, the cafe’s signature sweet cream.
