The golden arches are heading for one of Frisco’s hottest corners, with a new McDonald’s planned for the northwest corner of PGA Parkway and Preston Road. State permit records indicate the single-story, roughly 3,845-square-foot restaurant carries an estimated construction cost of about $1.5 million and could be built and open by mid-2026. The site lands squarely in the fast-growing PGA Frisco/Fields corridor, where hotels, entertainment venues and retail projects have been steadily reshaping the landscape.
The timeline and project specifics appear in a listing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that labels the site as “MCD PRESTON & PGA – FRISCO, TX” and shows a Feb. 1, 2026 construction start and a June 30, 2026 completion date, along with the square footage and estimated cost. The filing names McDonalds USA, LLC as the owner and JAW Architects, Inc. as the design firm, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Local reporter Karen Chaney of Community Impact first spotted the filing on Dec. 11 and highlighted the February to June 2026 construction window outlined in the state record. The outlet notes that the project is slated for the northwest corner of PGA Parkway and Preston Road and has said it plans to update coverage as additional details come out.
