Prosper residents could see new retail and restaurant space taking shape off Dallas Parkway.

The details: Prosper Planning and Zoning commissioners are set to consider a preliminary site plan at their Jan. 20 meeting for new restaurant and retail buildings at the intersection of Dallas and Frontier parkways. Commissioners tabled the decision at their Dec. 16 meeting to allow the applicants to incorporate commissioner feedback into an updated preliminary site plan. The 34.6-acre property is planned to include three restaurant and retail buildings, two restaurant buildings and six retail buildings, according to town documents.

Some context: Several developments are underway or have taken shape along Prosper’s tollway district, including a new H-E-B grocery store and Medical City Healthcare hospital. Pradera, a 34-acre mixed-use development approved in 2023, will be located under the proposed new retail space and is projected to be roughly a 20-year project.

Quote of note: “I think we’ve made a lot of progress, but obviously we’re not still there yet," Director of Development Services David Hoover said. 

Prosper Blooms and Gifts is expanding to Celina, owner Kambra Bacon confirmed. 

The new location, Celina Blooms and Gifts, will be located just off Celina’s downtown square. 

The details: The store will offer floral arrangements, gifts, clothing, candles, sweets and more. Customers will be able to order both pre-designed and custom floral arrangements online and in person. Bacon said the Celina location is currently undergoing renovations and is expected to open in early February, just ahead of Valentine’s Day.
