Bravo Park set for grand opening in Allen’s Sloan Corners development

Bravo Park will soon give south Allen a public gathering place at the center of one of Collin County’s biggest mixed-use projects. The park, at 785 Bravo Park Drive, is set to celebrate its grand opening Saturday, June 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. inside Billingsley Company’s Sloan Corners development, a roughly 480-acre project in Allen and Fairview with an estimated $3 billion buildout.

The park is being positioned as more than a patch of landscaping. It will serve as the central green space for a development Billingsley says is designed to include office buildings, multifamily housing and preserved natural areas, along with retail, restaurants, hotels, greenbelts and walking trails. One estimate tied to the broader buildout puts Sloan Corners at more than 10 million square feet of office space, 6,000 apartments and 200,000 square feet of retail, a scale that could make the site one of the most significant new districts on Allen’s southern edge.

That scale is what makes Bravo Park important for daily life. Families will have a place for lawn games, face painting, live entertainment and other activities tied to the opening celebration, while workers and nearby residents will have a shared outdoor space meant to make the district feel like a destination rather than a strip of buildings around a highway interchange. The city of Allen says the park will provide park and recreational amenities without adding maintenance costs for the city, a practical benefit as the community continues to grow.

The opening event is expected to include a ribbon-cutting, food trucks, pickleball, a DJ, yoga, dog adoptions and a tour of Hartwood at Sloan Corners, with a giveaway tied to six months of free rent. That mix of family programming and marketing underscores how developers are using public gathering spaces to introduce mixed-use projects in phases, turning a park into both a neighborhood amenity and a showcase for what comes next.

Local leaders have already framed Sloan Corners as a major marker for Allen’s future. Mayor Baine Brooks has said the project aligns with the city’s long-term vision and called it a “front door” to Allen. Billingsley acquired land for the project in 2019 and later partnered with the Petefish family on the property, setting up a development now taking shape at the southern corners of U.S. Highway 75 and State Highway 121.
