Plano gives thumbs up to shopping mall redevelopment plan
Former Plano Market Square retail center will become mixed-use with apartments and offices.
Built in 1980, the mall has been largely empty for years.(Triten Real Estate)
Plano’s City Council has approved a plan to turn a long-vacant shopping mall into a mixed-use project.
The Plano Market Square Mall was built in 1980 on Spring Creek Parkway just east of U.S. Highway 75.
The more than 300,000-square-foot building was originally operated as an outlet mall and later housed a variety of retailers.
But the single-level building has been largely empty during the last few years.
