The owner of Stonebriar Centre, GGP, is planning a major overhaul of a recently vacated space at the Frisco mall. Bisnow reported that the company intends to create a covered outdoor area surrounded by restaurants and retailers. This redevelopment project is expected to revitalize the mall's north side.
GGP, which is the retail division of Brookfield, has not disclosed the cost of the project or the names of potential tenants. However, the company's Head of Development, Adam Tritt, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating that it represents a new era for the shopping center.
The planned redevelopment is similar to The District at Willow Bend, a dining and entertainment area at a nearby mall in Plano. This area features a courtyard with restaurants and outdoor seating, and GGP may be aiming to create a similar atmosphere at Stonebriar Centre.
Work on the project is expected to begin in early 2027, according to The Dallas Morning News. The redevelopment will likely involve significant construction and renovation of the existing space.
The former Dick's Sporting Goods space became available when the retailer moved to a new location within the mall. The company's new concept, called House of Sport, will offer interactive activities and a wide range of athletic gear and apparel.
The House of Sport store is scheduled to open on November 13, and it will feature amenities such as golf simulators and rock-climbing walls. This new store will likely attract a large number of customers and help to drive foot traffic at the mall.
