Last Updated: September 9, 2026
When Hillwood Communities develops a master-planned residential community, they don't just build homes—they build complete neighborhoods with the commercial infrastructure to support them. That's exactly what's happening at Pecan Plaza, Hillwood's newest commercial development in Northlake at the intersection of FM 407 and Cleveland-Gibbs Road.
As Hillwood community specialists who live and work in this area, we're sharing everything we know about Pecan Plaza: what's under construction, what's confirmed, and what this means for Northlake's continued growth and home values.
What is Pecan Plaza?
The Basics
Pecan Plaza is a commercial retail development located at the southwest corner of FM 407 and Cleveland-Gibbs Road in Northlake, Texas.
Developer: Office Equity Solutions (developing for Hillwood)
Site Work Contractor: CT Excavating (handling infrastructure and site preparation)
Location: Southwest corner FM 407 & Cleveland-Gibbs Road, Northlake, TX
Status: Under construction — CVS Pharmacy and Little Caesars are both confirmed tenants, but neither has a firm opening date yet
Why "Pecan Plaza"?
The name pays homage to the area's agricultural heritage—the same inspiration behind Pecan Square by Hillwood, the award-winning master-planned community less than 2 miles west. Both developments honor Northlake's pecan grove history while bringing modern conveniences to the area.
Hillwood's Role
While Office Equity Solutions is the developer managing day-to-day construction, Hillwood is the landowner and strategic partner behind Pecan Plaza. This is significant because it demonstrates Hillwood's commitment to creating complete communities—not just building homes and walking away.
Hillwood's Commercial Track Record:
- Harvest Town Center (Argyle/Northlake) - Tom Thumb and Chuy's Tex-Mex both now open, alongside McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Chase Bank
- AllianceTexas (Fort Worth/Westlake) - 27,000 acres, 600+ companies, 73,000+ direct jobs
- Frisco Station - Mixed-use development with retail, office, residential
- Pecan Square amenities - Award-winning Town Square with 22,000 sq ft Arena, fitness, pools, co-working
When Hillwood backs a commercial project, it's done right.
Current Development Status
Construction Timeline
January 2025: Mayor Brian Montini announces Pecan Plaza development underway in his "Northlake Notes" column, noting Office Equity Solutions working on basic grading and infrastructure.
June 2025: CVS Pharmacy files construction permits with Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for 12,651 sq ft building.
October 2025: Little Caesars Pizza announces plans to build at Pecan Plaza.
November 2025: CVS construction begins.
Current status: CVS Pharmacy and Little Caesars Pizza are both under construction. Neither has a confirmed opening date at this time.
What's Happening Now
If you drive by the FM 407 and Cleveland-Gibbs Road intersection, you'll see active construction on the CVS building and site preparation for Little Caesars and additional retail pads. We'll update this page as soon as opening dates are confirmed.
Confirmed Tenants
1. CVS Pharmacy (Anchor Tenant) — Under Construction
Building Size: 12,651 square feet
Investment: $4 million
Status: Under construction; opening date not yet confirmed
Services (expected):
- Full-service pharmacy with drive-thru
- Prescription services
- Immunizations (flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, etc.)
- Health screenings
- Over-the-counter medications
- Photo services
- Convenience items (snacks, beverages, household goods)
Why This Matters:
CVS is a $4 million anchor tenant commitment from one of America's largest pharmacy chains. This is a strong signal of Northlake's demographic strength and growth trajectory — national retailers like CVS conduct extensive market research before investing, and their decision to build here reflects what residents already know: Northlake is thriving.

2. Little Caesars Pizza — Under Construction
Status: Under construction; opening date not yet confirmed
About Little Caesars:
Little Caesars is a global pizza chain known for its "Hot-N-Ready" pizzas—customers can walk in and pick up a fresh pizza without waiting for it to bake from scratch. This convenience model makes Little Caesars popular for families, especially those with kids involved in sports and activities.
Menu Highlights:
- Cheese and pepperoni pizzas
- Supreme and specialty pizzas
- Crazy Puffs and Crazy Bread
- Ultimate Cheesesteak Pizza
- Wings and sides
Community Impact:
Beyond pizza, Little Caesars is known for community involvement and charitable programs. The chain supports local schools, sports teams, and community events—a fit for Northlake's family-oriented demographic.
Strategic Addition:
Pizza is one of the most requested dining options in growing communities. Little Caesars will fill a quick-service dining gap for Pecan Square, Harvest, and Northlake residents looking for convenient, affordable family meals once it opens.
What's Next?
With CVS and Little Caesars both confirmed and under construction, Pecan Plaza has its anchor pharmacy and first dining option lined up. Additional tenants are expected to be announced as the development continues.
Likely Categories for Future Tenants:
- Additional quick-service restaurants (coffee, sandwiches, fast casual)
- Service businesses (banks, salons, dry cleaning)
- Retail (dollar stores, convenience, specialty shops)
- Medical/dental offices
We'll update this blog as new tenants and opening dates are announced.
Location & Access
The Perfect Intersection
Pecan Plaza sits at one of Northlake's most strategic intersections:
FM 407: Major east-west corridor connecting Argyle, Northlake, and points east toward I-35W and Denton
Cleveland-Gibbs Road: North-south connector (recently renamed from Gibbs Road after the Cleveland-Gibbs Road split)
Why This Location Works:
- High traffic volume - FM 407 is a primary route for Alliance workers, Denton residents, and Argyle/Northlake residents
- Easy I-35W access - Less than 1 mile east to I-35W northbound/southbound
- Serves multiple communities - Pecan Square (1.5 miles west), Harvest (3 miles west), Northlake proper, eastern Denton County
- Minimal competition - Limited retail at this specific intersection creates first-mover advantage
Distance from Major Communities
From Pecan Square by Hillwood:
- Distance: ~1.5-2 miles east on FM 407
- Drive time: 3-5 minutes
From Harvest by Hillwood:
- Distance: ~3-4 miles east on FM 407
- Drive time: 6-8 minutes
From Northlake Town Center:
- Distance: ~2 miles
- Drive time: 4-6 minutes
From I-35W:
- Distance: Less than 1 mile west
- Drive time: 2-3 minutes
From Alliance Town Center:
- Distance: ~12 miles west
- Drive time: 18-20 minutes
Infrastructure Improvements Supporting Pecan Plaza
FM 407 Expansion:
FM 407 is undergoing significant widening and improvement projects, including:
- Widening to six lanes from Cleveland-Gibbs Road to Gateway Drive (east of I-35W in Argyle's ETJ)
- Intersection improvements at I-35W and FM 407 (adding two lanes—one in each direction—to alleviate congestion)
- Better turn lanes and traffic signal timing
Expected completion: 2027 (some delays from the original 2026 timeline)
Cleveland-Gibbs Road Extension:
Cleveland-Gibbs Road is being extended from FM 1171 to Robson Ranch Road, improving north-south connectivity across Northlake and making Pecan Plaza even more accessible.
I-35W Frontage Roads:
Full frontage roads are planned for I-35W between Denton and Northlake, which will rebuild interchanges and bridges at Robson Ranch Road, FM 407, and Old Justin Road — improving access to Pecan Plaza from both directions on I-35W as this work progresses.
Pecan Plaza vs. Other Northlake Commercial Developments
Northlake has several commercial nodes developing simultaneously. Here's how they compare:
Pecan Plaza (FM 407 & Cleveland-Gibbs Road)
Developer: Office Equity Solutions for Hillwood
Status: Under construction — CVS and Little Caesars confirmed, no opening date yet
Anchor: CVS Pharmacy
Focus: Neighborhood retail and services
Serves: Eastern Pecan Square, Northlake proper, eastern Denton County
Harvest Town Center (FM 407 & I-35W)
Developer: Hillwood Communities
Status: Tom Thumb and Chuy's Tex-Mex both open
Anchors: Tom Thumb (63,000 sq ft), Chuy's Tex-Mex, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Chase Bank
Focus: Grocery-anchored lifestyle center
Serves: Harvest, western Pecan Square, Argyle
Northlake Crossing (Cleveland-Gibbs Road & Robson Ranch Road)
Developer: Various
Status: Actively developing
Focus: Mixed retail and service businesses
Serves: Central Northlake, The Ridge, surrounding neighborhoods
Northlake Commons (FM 407, Harvest area)
Developer: Part of Harvest by Hillwood
Status: Established
Features: Retail, restaurants, services, municipal offices, town square
Serves: Harvest community, western Northlake
Chadwick Farms (Near StarCenter Multisport)
Developer: Chadwick Farms partnership
Status: Approved, in development
Features: 900 multi-family units, 150+ room hotel, conference center, 60,000 sq ft retail/restaurants/entertainment
Serves: StarCenter visitors, Northlake residents, regional draw
The Strategy: Multiple Nodes
Rather than concentrating all retail in one location, Northlake is developing multiple commercial nodes along FM 407 and Cleveland-Gibbs Road. This strategy:
- Reduces traffic congestion - Spreads retail across multiple intersections
- Improves convenience - Residents have closer access from different parts of town
- Attracts diverse tenants - Different nodes can specialize (grocery vs. pharmacy vs. entertainment)
- Increases tax base - More retail = more sales tax revenue for town services
Pecan Plaza fits perfectly into this multi-node strategy, serving the eastern portion of Northlake's residential growth.
What Pecan Plaza Means for Northlake Home Values
Retail Amenities and Home Values
Proximity to convenient retail — pharmacies, grocery stores, everyday dining — is a well-established factor buyers weigh when choosing a home, and something we consistently hear about from clients touring Pecan Square and Harvest.
Once open, Pecan Plaza is expected to mean:
- Reduced drive times for everyday needs (pharmacy, quick meals)
- Improved quality of life (less time in car, more time at home)
- Increased buyer appeal when selling ("pharmacy 2 miles away" is a tangible selling point)
- Market validation (a national retailer investing here signals confidence in the area's demographics)
Investment Confidence Signal
When national chains invest millions in a community, other retailers take notice. CVS's $4 million Pecan Plaza commitment signals to other potential tenants that the market and demographics here support retail growth — which can help attract additional tenants over time, even before doors open.
The Pattern Across Hillwood Communities
Hillwood has a consistent track record of pairing residential development with planned commercial infrastructure — Harvest Town Center, Pecan Square's Town Square amenities, and now Pecan Plaza all reflect that same integrated approach. We don't have a specific, sourced figure for exactly how much retail proximity moves home values in these communities, but the pattern of Hillwood following through on promised commercial development is well documented, and it's a meaningful factor for many of our buyers.
Specific Impact on Pecan Square
For Pecan Square by Hillwood homeowners, Pecan Plaza will offer, once open:
Eastern Pecan Square addresses:
- CVS Pharmacy: 1.5-2 miles (3-5 min drive)
- Currently: nearest CVS is in Argyle, about 4 miles (8-10 min drive)
- Eastern lots will gain meaningfully better pharmacy access once construction completes
Entire Pecan Square community:
- More dining options (Little Caesars, plus future restaurants)
- Additional service businesses as plaza fills out
- Reduced need to drive to Denton, Flower Mound, or Southlake for everyday needs
Hillwood's Strategic Vision: Residential + Commercial Integration
Why This Matters
Most residential developers build homes, then hope commercial follows. Hillwood does it differently—they control the commercial development to ensure it complements their residential communities.
Pecan Plaza is not an accident. It's part of Hillwood's deliberate strategy to create complete, self-sufficient communities where residents can:
- Live (Pecan Square, Harvest)
- Work (AllianceTexas, local offices)
- Shop (Pecan Plaza, Harvest Town Center)
- Play (community amenities, town squares, trails)
- Learn (on-site Northwest ISD schools)
This integrated approach differentiates Hillwood from competitors and drives long-term value for homeowners.
Lessons from AllianceTexas
Hillwood pioneered the residential + commercial integration model at AllianceTexas, their 27,000-acre mixed-use development in Fort Worth/Westlake.
The AllianceTexas Model:
- 600+ companies and 73,000+ direct jobs, with $142.9 billion in cumulative economic impact
- Residential communities within commuting distance
- Retail and dining serving both workers and residents
- Infrastructure investments supporting all uses
AllianceTexas became one of the most successful master-planned developments in American history — Hillwood has been refining this residential-plus-commercial playbook for over 35 years.
Pecan Plaza follows the AllianceTexas playbook at a smaller scale:
- Residential base (Pecan Square, Harvest, Northlake neighborhoods)
- Employment access (AllianceTexas, Denton, local businesses)
- Strategic retail (Pecan Plaza, Harvest Town Center)
- Infrastructure support (FM 407 expansion, I-35W improvements)
The Long-Term Vision
Hillwood thinks in decades, not years. Here's how Pecan Plaza likely fits into their long-term vision:
Near-Term:
- CVS and Little Caesars complete construction and open
- Additional tenants expected to be announced
- Pecan Square continues toward buildout (3,100 homes)
- Harvest continues toward completion (4,000+ homes)
Medium-Term:
- Pecan Plaza fills additional pad sites
- Potential expansion to adjacent parcels
- Northlake's population continues growing
Long-Term:
- Mature retail node serving established communities
- Integration with the broader FM 407 corridor retail ecosystem
Who Benefits from Pecan Plaza?
Pecan Square Residents
Primary beneficiaries, once open. Pecan Plaza is less than 2 miles from most Pecan Square addresses, making it the closest future pharmacy and one of the closest future dining options.
Expected benefits:
- Walk/bike distance for some eastern addresses
- Quick drive for prescription pickups
- Convenient pizza option for busy families
- Less need to drive to Argyle or Denton for essentials
Harvest Residents
Secondary beneficiaries. Harvest residents already have Harvest Town Center and Northlake Commons closer, but Pecan Plaza will add options once open:
Expected benefits:
- Alternative pharmacy if Tom Thumb Pharmacy is busy
- Additional dining variety
- Convenient when coming from Denton or points east
Northlake Residents (Broader Community)
All Northlake benefits, once open. Residents of The Ridge, Canyon Falls, and other Northlake neighborhoods stand to gain:
Expected benefits:
- More retail options without driving to Denton or Flower Mound
- Increased town sales tax revenue (funds roads, services, schools)
- Validation of Northlake's growth trajectory
- Enhanced community completeness
Future Homebuyers
Attraction factor. Pecan Plaza's confirmed tenants make Northlake—and Pecan Square specifically—more attractive to prospective buyers even before opening:
Specific benefits:
- Confirmed national tenants under construction, not just rumored
- Clear timeline toward a more complete community
- Demonstrated Hillwood commitment to long-term community success
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pecan Plaza open?
Not yet. CVS Pharmacy and Little Caesars Pizza are both confirmed tenants and are under construction, but neither has a confirmed opening date at this time. We'll update this page as soon as dates are announced.
Who is developing Pecan Plaza?
Office Equity Solutions is the developer managing construction and leasing. However, Hillwood is the landowner and strategic partner behind the project, ensuring it aligns with their residential communities (Pecan Square, Harvest).
What other tenants are coming to Pecan Plaza?
CVS Pharmacy and Little Caesars Pizza are confirmed and under construction. Additional tenants are expected to be announced over time. Likely categories include coffee shops, banks, salons, additional dining, and service businesses.
We'll update this blog as new tenants and opening dates are confirmed.
How is Pecan Plaza different from Harvest Town Center?
Pecan Plaza is located at FM 407 & Cleveland-Gibbs Road (eastern Northlake), anchored by CVS Pharmacy (under construction), and focuses on neighborhood retail and services.
Harvest Town Center is located at FM 407 & I-35W (western Northlake/Argyle), anchored by Tom Thumb grocery store, and functions as a larger lifestyle center with grocery, dining (Chuy's), and municipal offices — both Tom Thumb and Chuy's are already open.
Both serve different geographic areas and complement each other rather than compete.
Will there be a grocery store at Pecan Plaza?
Unlikely. Tom Thumb at Harvest Town Center (3 miles west) opened in March 2026 and serves as the primary grocery for Pecan Square and Northlake. CVS is expected to offer convenience items and snacks, but not full grocery selection.
Is Pecan Plaza part of Pecan Square by Hillwood?
No, Pecan Plaza is a separate commercial development, though both are backed by Hillwood and share the "Pecan" naming heritage honoring the area's agricultural history.
Pecan Square by Hillwood is the 1,200-acre, 3,100-home residential master-planned community.
Pecan Plaza is the commercial retail development at FM 407 & Cleveland-Gibbs Road serving Pecan Square and surrounding areas.
How does this affect traffic on FM 407?
Any new retail increases traffic, but Pecan Plaza's impacts are expected to be mitigated by:
- Southwest corner location providing easy in-and-out access
- Spread-out hours (pharmacy and pizza don't create rush-hour spikes like restaurants)
- Ongoing FM 407 expansion adding lanes and improving traffic flow
- Multiple commercial nodes across Northlake (spreading demand)
Additionally, Pecan Plaza is expected to reduce outbound traffic by keeping residents local rather than driving to Denton or Flower Mound for pharmacy and dining needs.
Can I walk or bike to Pecan Plaza from Pecan Square?
Depends on your address. Eastern Pecan Square addresses may be within walking/biking distance (1.5-2 miles), though sidewalk and trail connectivity will determine practical walkability once the plaza is open.
Most residents will likely drive the 3-5 minutes for convenience, especially when picking up prescriptions or takeout.
Future connectivity: As Northlake continues developing trails and sidewalks, walking/biking to Pecan Plaza may become more feasible for nearby residents.
Will Pecan Plaza have a gas station?
Not confirmed. CVS sometimes co-locates with gas stations at larger developments, but no gas station has been announced for Pecan Plaza.
The nearest gas stations are along I-35W (less than 1 mile east) and at various locations along FM 407.

The Bigger Picture: Northlake's Transformation
From Rural Outpost to Complete Community
Ten years ago, Northlake was a quiet rural town with large-lot residential and minimal retail. Today, it's one of North Texas's fastest-growing communities with:
Residential:
- Pecan Square by Hillwood (3,100 homes)
- Harvest by Hillwood (4,000+ homes)
- Canyon Falls (1,800 homes)
- The Ridge (luxury homes)
- Multiple acreage subdivisions
Commercial:
- Pecan Plaza — CVS and Little Caesars under construction
- Harvest Town Center — Tom Thumb and Chuy's open
- Northlake Crossing (developing)
- Northlake Commons (established)
- Chadwick Farms (approved)
Employment:
- 8+ million sq ft industrial space (30+ million sq ft planned)
- Major employers: Mainfreight, TreeHouse Foods, Volvo, Schluter Systems, Stanley Black and Decker, Crown Lift Trucks, 3M, Clorox, Incora, Walgreens, Oldcastle Infrastructure
Infrastructure:
- FM 407 widening to 6 lanes
- I-35W frontage road improvements
- Cleveland-Gibbs Road extension
- New schools (Northwest ISD investing in on-site campuses)
Recreation:
- StarCenter Multisport (200,000+ sq ft indoor sports facility)
- Community amenities at Pecan Square, Harvest, Canyon Falls
- Trails and parks throughout
Pecan Plaza's Role
Pecan Plaza is a critical piece of Northlake's transformation from rural town to complete, self-sufficient community.
Once open, by adding essential retail (pharmacy) and convenient dining (pizza) in a strategic location, Pecan Plaza will:
- Serve the eastern residential growth
- Complement Harvest Town Center on the west
- Signal Northlake's demographic strength to other potential retailers
- Contribute sales tax revenue for town infrastructure
- Make Northlake a more attractive destination for homebuyers
The 2045 Comprehensive Plan
Northlake's Comprehensive Plan 2045 (adopted February 2024) envisions the town's future through 2045, including:
Land Use Goals:
- Preserve 50% of town for open spaces and large lots
- Strategic commercial development along FM 407 corridor
- Mixed-use nodes at key intersections
- Balance growth with rural character preservation
Pecan Plaza aligns perfectly with this vision:
- Located on FM 407 corridor (designated for commercial)
- Serves residential without encroaching on preserved open space
- Creates mixed-use node at strategic intersection
- Supports growth while maintaining character
Northlake's leadership is thoughtfully planning commercial development to serve residents without sacrificing what makes the town special.
Why We're Watching Closely (A Realtor's Perspective)
As Hillwood community specialists — with a 2026 RealTrends Verified team ranking and North Fort Worth Real Producers recognition (Edson Top 250, Paige Top 1,000 out of ~15,000 agents) — here's why we're tracking Pecan Plaza closely:
1. It Backs Up Our Market Guidance
We've been telling clients for two years: "Buy in Northlake and Pecan Square now—the retail is coming." Confirmed national tenants like CVS and Little Caesars under construction are real evidence of that, even before doors open — this isn't just a rumor or a rendering.
2. It Improves the Buyer Conversation
When showing Pecan Square homes—especially eastern addresses—some buyers ask: "Where's the nearest pharmacy?"
Right now: "CVS Argyle, 4 miles west — though a CVS is already under construction less than 2 miles away at Pecan Plaza."
That's a meaningfully better answer than having nothing confirmed at all, even without a firm opening date yet.
3. It's Building Toward a Complete Ecosystem
Successful master-planned communities need:
- ✅ Quality homes (Pecan Square delivers)
- ✅ Top-rated schools (Northwest ISD, on-site campuses)
- ✅ Amenities (Jackson Hall, The Arena, pools, parks, trails)
- ✅ Grocery access (Tom Thumb at Harvest Town Center, open)
- 🔨 Pharmacy access (CVS at Pecan Plaza, under construction)
- ✅ Dining variety (Chuy's, plus Little Caesars coming)
Pecan Plaza will check the pharmacy box once it opens, making Pecan Square an even more complete community.
4. It Enhances Our Client Experience
For our clients—both current homeowners and prospective buyers—Pecan Plaza's progress means:
Current homeowners:
- Visible, confirmed progress toward more convenient pharmacy and dining options
- A stronger story to tell future buyers when they decide to sell
Prospective buyers:
- Confidence they're buying into a community actively completing its amenity package
- Confirmed tenants under construction, not just a "someday" promise
5. It's the Hillwood Difference
We specialize in Hillwood communities because Hillwood follows through.
Most developers:
- Build homes
- Hope commercial follows eventually
- Move on to next project
- Leave residents waiting for retail (sometimes for years)
Hillwood:
- Builds exceptional residential communities
- Partners with commercial developers (Office Equity Solutions)
- Ensures retail aligns with residential
- Creates complete, self-sufficient neighborhoods
Pecan Plaza is a project we're watching closely — it's already further along than a rendering, and we'll share the moment opening dates are confirmed.

- Strategic commercial development, some open and some under construction (Pecan Plaza, Harvest Town Center)
