What’s Taking Shape in Mansfield
Exciting New Developments Coming to Mansfield, Texas
One of the best things about living in Mansfield is that there is a lot happening and it actually makes sense. New projects are underway, familiar areas are being reimagined, and growth here feels purposeful rather than performative.
Here is a look at what is taking shape around Mansfield. Not just what is being built, but how these changes will actually be experienced day to day.
New Mixed Use and Development Projects
These projects are about more than buildings. They are shaping how people live, gather, and move through the city.
The Reserve at Mansfield
The Reserve is one of the most expansive projects Mansfield has ever taken on, and it is meant to be. This 200-acre, master-planned mixed-use destination is designed to become a new civic and social heart for the city while still honoring Mansfield’s historic character.
The vision goes well beyond retail or office space. The master plan is organized around four core elements designed to work together as a cohesive whole.
The Canal District will feature a half-mile navigable canal surrounded by future restaurants, shops, office space, and a hotel and conference center. The Central Plaza is planned as flexible community space for markets, events, and seasonal programming. The Bay will focus on waterfront dining, with open-air patios and access from the canal. Central Park will anchor the district with trails, open lawn space, and an amphitheater intended for everyday use as well as larger outdoor gatherings.
What stands out here is not just the scale, but the intention. This is not a single development dropped into the city. It is a long-term vision for how Mansfield grows into itself, creating shared spaces where people can gather, linger, and return over time.
Development will happen in phases, but the scope of this project will shape Mansfield’s identity for decades rather than years.
Staybolt Street Entertainment District
Staybolt Street is one of the largest and most visible changes coming to Mansfield, and it is intentionally designed to live a little outside daily city traffic. Located along Toll Road 360, the district is meant to draw regional visitors while keeping Mansfield’s neighborhoods from feeling overwhelmed.
The broader plan includes a multi-sport professional stadium opening in 2026, along with hotels, dining, retail, and family-focused entertainment. Mansfield Stadium will become the home of the North Texas Soccer Club and is expected to host a mix of sports, concerts, and community events throughout the year.
For families, two parts of this project stand out. High 5 Mansfield is scheduled to open in winter 2025 and will bring bowling, arcade games, mini golf, and a rooftop concert space to town. Nearby, Fields at Station 63 has reopened and expands Mansfield’s long-standing commitment to youth sports, including a Miracle League field designed so kids of all abilities can play.
What makes Staybolt worth paying attention to is not just its size, but its placement. By keeping large-scale entertainment accessible from 360, the city is creating room for growth without sacrificing everyday livability.
A Project Worth Paying Attention To
Geyer Commons
This is the project I am most excited about.
Geyer Commons is taking shape on the site of Mansfield’s first ballfield and will eventually serve as the eastern gateway to Historic Downtown. The plan brings together relocated and reconstructed historic homes, small shops and eateries, an artisan and makers’ market, and public spaces designed for people to spend time rather than just pass through.
Phase 1A includes the Cottage Market, which sits directly behind the downtown gazebo. It is an open-air collection of boutique vendors meant for year-round shopping and gathering. This phase also includes a civic lawn, a splash pad with programmable LED lighting, and maker-focused spaces that support local entrepreneurs.
What makes this one personal for me is the location. The gazebo and surrounding garden are cared for by the Mansfield Garden Club. We decorate it seasonally and tend the garden throughout the year. Seeing new life grow just behind a space we have poured so much care into feels meaningful in a way that is hard to explain but easy to feel.
Geyer Commons is still under construction and not yet open to the public. It was originally scheduled to open in December, but work is continuing as the project takes shape. Phase 1A is now expected to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026, with sidewalks, roads, and vertical construction actively underway.
The first Cottage Market vendors include Same Page Bookshop, The Levant Bakery, Mama Moore’s Gourmet Popcorn, R&B Dog Bakery, Comeback Cookie, Hawaii Fluid Art Mansfield, Maddy Kay Boutique, City Sweets Chocolatier, Duke and Winston, Creative Essence and Double Luxe, and Gilda Wonders.
A Project That Matters
Mansfield Mission Center
Not every important development comes with storefronts or splash pads.
Mansfield Mission Center has announced plans for a new centralized campus at 901 W. Broad Street that will bring its medical services, food market, and thrift store together in one location. Currently, those services are spread across town. Centralizing them removes barriers, simplifies access, and allows the organization to better serve families as Mansfield continues to grow.
The new campus will sit alongside the Linda Nix Clinic and reflects a long-term investment in the health and stability of the community. Demand for food assistance and medical services has increased significantly over the last several years, and this expansion is rooted in dignity, clarity, and care.
There is also a meaningful local connection here. The Mansfield Farm & Cottage Market has partnered with Mansfield Mission Center as a drop-off location for donated items and food, and through the Farm to Families program. That partnership helps provide access to the Market’s produce, cottage foods, and cottage goods for those in need. It is a quiet, practical example of how community efforts intersect in ways that truly matter.
Damn Good Eats
These are places that feel like a genuine addition to the area. Comfortable, well done, and easy to build into real life.
Chuy’s Tex-Mex
Familiar in the best way. Easy for groups, consistent, and exactly the kind of place people return to once the novelty wears off.
Paris Baguette
Recently opened and already fitting into the rhythm of the area. A good place for coffee, pastries, and sitting for a minute without feeling rushed.
A Damn Good Time
These are the kinds of places people build into real routines. Not destinations for a special occasion. Just places that make day to day life easier and more enjoyable.
The Shops at Broad
This is one of those areas that quietly does a lot of work for Mansfield. The Shops at Broad continue to grow into a true everyday hub, especially along the 287 corridor. It is not flashy, but it is practical in the best way.
For me, it is where First Watch lives, which is my favorite breakfast spot in town and somewhere I actually return to. It is also where errands, casual meals, and last-minute plans tend to converge without much effort.
Recent plans and site updates point to continued restaurant and retail growth here, including additional dining options and the possibility of national retailers. And if a Sephora really does land here, I will be happily done for in the best possible way.
I like to think of Mansfield as a place that is growing with intention. Not rushing. Not chasing trends. Just building in a way that supports the people who already call it home.
