A California-based developer is working on plans for a new mixed-use project in Plano.
The 19-acre development would be on the site of the former Fry’s Electronics store between Bush Turnpike and Plano Parkway, just east of U.S. Highway 75.
Bay West Development is seeking zoning to replace the vacant Fry’s store with two five-story apartment buildings, a six-story office building and an eight-story hotel.
“This request includes 833 units on two lots,” according to details of the apartments included in the zoning request. “This proposed development appears to be providing a similar product to the existing multifamily development to the east across Executive Drive, not really adding variety.
