‘A Texas town in the making.’ New Metroplex development promises 50,000 residents
A Dallas real estate development firm is spearheading a major development south of Grand Prairie featuring 15,000 homes, shops, restaurants and open spaces.
Grand Prairie announced Monday, Dec. 2, that Provident is developing the master-planned community Goodland near Texas 360 and U.S. 287 on the southern edge of Grand Prairie. The community will stretch in to Ellis and Johnson counties.
The city annexed over 1,500 acres to help move the development forward.
“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” Mayor Ron Jensen said in a news release.
“Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”
According to the news release, Goodland is designed to be a city within a city. Plans include a central mixed-use and walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development.
Provident managing director Rylan Yowell said the homes will cater to different lifestyles and price points, including townhomes, custom homes, gated adult communities and more.
“Goodland harkens back to a simpler way of life. Imagine kids playing hopscotch or neighbors catching up on the front porch. This is not the sprawling suburbs of northern DFW or your typical master-planned community. This is a Texas town in the making with a new pattern of life,” Yowell said.
Provident is known for other developments throughout north Texas, including Preston Hollow Village, Stacy Green in Allen, Tavolo Park in Fort Worth and Hillstead in Lavon.
