Gates of Prosper builds Phase II, to open in 2021
After COVID-19 delays, a section of Gates of Prosper Phase II construction nears completion. Venues like Starbucks and Tiff’s Treats can be expected to open as early as Spring 2021. “There have been businesses or developments that have placed their projects on hold as a result of COVID-19,” town planner Pamela Clark said. “Many businesses are re-evaluating how to structure their businesses in order to best serve their customers while maintaining social distancing guidelines.”

Since its grand opening in 2018, Gates of Prosper has become a community go-to place for dining and shopping. Due to its gain in popularity and demand for retail space, Gates of Prosper plans to open an expansion named Gates of Prosper Phase II on the other side of Preston Road. In spite of delays created by COVID-19, developers project to open the 800-acre expansion in the spring and summer of 2021.
Phase II originally began construction in October 2019 and projected the first development to be finished by Summer 2020, but COVID-19 has halted the opening date.
“There have been businesses or developments that have placed their projects on hold as a result of COVID-19,” town planner Pamela Clark said. “Many businesses are re-evaluating how to structure their businesses in order to best serve their customers while maintaining social distancing guidelines.”
With the new stores opening in Phase II, shopping, dining and working will become more convenient for local residents.
“I think I’m most excited for the Michael’s and Starbucks,” junior Pooja Mirkhelker said. “I won’t have to drive all the way to Frisco for art supplies and it’ll make getting a job a lot easier, too.”
The new stores will not only provide new venues for families to enjoy, but also job opportunities for high school students and others looking to enter the workforce.
“I’m glad that we have a lot more opportunities open for the community,” junior Lauren Helbing said. “I’d have to say I’d be most interested in working at Michael’s because it’s a great store.”
As of right now, the first stores and restaurants will open in Spring 2021. Make sure to watch for job postings near the time of opening to take advantage of these opportunities.

Any Wholefoods, Sprouts, Trader Joes, Dollar Tree, Central Market, HEB, Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack will be a good idea in the area they will increase the economy

It would be great to have a Trader Joes at the Gates of Prosper. The high end housing that surrounds the Gates certainly warrants a hard look at brin2 or phase 3 would be ideal. Please reachout to Trader Joes and inform them of the need for their store at the Gates.

Are there any plans for some sort of entertainment district such as the Toyota Music Factory in Irving or similar?
Jana Fraley • Feb 22, 2021 at 11:28 am
Above there were not answers on the questions if Dollar Tree or Homegoods would be added to the 2nd or 3rd phases of Gates of Prosper? Would love to have a well managed and stocked Dollar Tree please.

Hi there,
We are the student newspaper of Prosper High School, and this article is a news brief of the information provided to us at the time it was published. We intend to do a follow up article, but for now, this article is all the information we have learned from developers. If you need immediate answers to these questions, I recommend you reach out to LPC Retail or the Prosper town planners.
Thank you!

Hi,
Is there a homegoods planned for this development? I thought I saw homegoods on one of the first blueprints for phase 2.
Thank you!
