Background
In August 2018, it was reported that a partnership including Hunt Realty Investments and The Karahan Companies acquired what was then known as Headquarters Ranch, a 2,544-acre site on the northern edge of Frisco, from the estate of Frisco banker Bert Fields, Jr.[1][2][3][4] The project is named after the Fields family, longtime owners of the land.[2] Hunt Realty Investments and The Karahan Companies will develop the land.[4] The development is expected to cost upwards of $12.7 billion.[5]
Fields is being planned with more than 10,000 homes, at least 12 neighborhood parks on 72 acres, and some 18 million square feet of commercial space, including a major office center, a retail village, two golf courses, parks, trails, and other recreation spaces, and a 500-room Omni hotel.[6][7][8][9] It has been projected that 30,000 people could eventually work at Fields.[9][10] The rezoning of the land was approved on February 25, 2020.[6]
PGA of America headquarters
In April 2018, it was reported that the Professional Golfers' Association of America was planning to move its national headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.[11] The deal was finalized in December 2018, and PGA of America officially announced they would be relocating their headquarters to Frisco.[12][7] The 600-acre development will include two championship golf courses, a short course, practice areas totaling 45 holes, a clubhouse, and an Omni hotel. The golf courses are expected to open in the summer of 2022, and the development will host the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship in 2023.[12][13][4][6] As home of the PGA, Frisco would host 23 professional golf tournaments in its first 12 years in operation, including the 2027 and 2034 PGA Championships and the Ryder Cup.[14][15]
University of North Texas branch
Fields will include a branch of the University of North Texas, with student housing on the development. The campus could be as large as 150,000 square feet, with a student population of 3,000. The first part of the campus at Fields is anticipated to be ready by the end of 2022, with the first building structure, a parking lot, bell tower, amphitheater, and a pavilion.[6][16][17]
