Denton, Texas — Hillwood, a Perot company, has unveiled plans for Landmark by Hillwood, a 3,200-acre mixed-use project in the northern Dallas suburb of Denton. The project team includes Hillwood subsidiaries Hillwood Communities and Hillwood Properties.
The plans call for 900 acres of commercial space comprising 5 million square feet of retail, hospitality and entertainment space, approximately 6,000 single-family homes and more than 3,000 multifamily units.
The site, which is situated at I-35W and Robson Ranch Road, was previously known as Hunter Ranch. The parcel is one of the original land holdings purchased by the Perot family in 1987. The property encompasses Pilot Knob Hill, the highest point in Denton, according to Hillwood.
Once completed, Landmark by Hillwood will offer 1,100 acres of park and open space, including Pilot Knob Hill, as well as an interconnected trail system, recreation areas and public parks. Hillwood also plans to construct a series of learning parks, which aim to promote nature education and engagement and will be open to the public.
Hillwood plans to break ground on the first phase of the project this September. Phase I will comprise 747 single-family lots, with models slated to open Spring 2026.
Planning and leasing are already underway for the commercial portion of the development.
“It was important for us to collaborate with Denton to deliver a one-of-a-kind development that worked in concert with Denton and its values,” says Andrew Pieper, vice president of Hillwood Communities and residential project manager for Landmark. “We let nature guide all planning with the city to protect environmentally sensitive areas while bringing needed housing, schools, employment, shopping, dining, entertainment and outdoor recreation to the city.”
