City of Carrollton, Texas : Development Opportunities

Raiford Road

The 113-acre parcel of land located north of the President George Bush Turnpike and east of interstate 35 is owned by the City of Carrollton and hired Jacobs Carter Burgess to plan the site, and Jones Lang LaSalle. City officials would like to see hotels, retail and office development and possibly even a hotel convention center. The Raiford property is located about 1-mile northeast of the new Trinity Mills DART station scheduled to open in 2010.
