Self-Sustaining with a Twist.
The concept of a “New Urban” development, outside an existing urban setting, provided the spark that is Craig Ranch. The idea was to combine the essential elements of community life – home, work and play – into a self-sustaining environment with a twist. Add a bold centerpiece. Create a stir.
The TPC at Craig Ranch provides the nexus for Craig Ranch as a world-class place to live, work and play. As the rolling hills and tree-lined fairways of the TPC course traverse through Craig Ranch, they are met by a mix of residential, commercial and recreational pockets linked in every detail. A second world-class venue, the renowned Cooper Fitness Center at Craig Ranch, is located adjacent to the golf course, offering world-class health, fitness and spa services.
Crossroads for Commerce.
Just off the Town Center, home sites to the north and offices to the south suggest a daily cross pattern as locals traverse to and from the employment district designed for today’s growth-oriented businesses. A future five-star luxury boutique hotel will host out-of-town guests. Cooper Fitness Center at Craig Ranch will provide health, fitness and spa services, and a state-of-the-art medical park will provide well and urgent care within the confines of the community.
Technology.
As one of the fundamental building blocks of the community, Craig Ranch, with AT&T, has installed an advanced communications infrastructure to ensure that the technology is readily available to meet the needs of Craig Ranch’s vision. Based on an infrastructure of fiber optics to every home and business with the latest in GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) the Craig Ranch campus will be able to support the most state of the art telecommunications and entertainment services available while ensuring that the network is capable of growing to meet future needs as they evolve. In addition to the ability to support, as yet, unforeseen services, the network will support services like IPTV, tele-communiting, video conferencing, tele-education, tele-medicine, advanced security, storage networks, advanced voice services, remote home monitoring, the ability of utility companies to remotely read meters, video service providers able to deliver a new movie to your home in a matter of seconds or provide network streamed video content in real time, and much more.
Recreational Options.
The Ballfields at Craig Ranch host local, regional and national competitions ranging from select baseball / softball leagues and tournaments to the elite amateur play of the Texas Collegiate Baseball League. McKinney Soccer has thirteen lighted, regulation-size soccer fields just to the east of The Ballfields at Craig Ranch. The Beach at Craig Ranch features premium sand volleyball courts - 4 full-size beach soccer fields, or 12 beach tennis courts. The property also includes a portion of a six cities trail plan which runs adjacent to the TPC Craig Ranch golf course, up through The Settlement and through Craig Ranch North offering a pesdestrian friendly environment.
A Sense of Place.
Throughout the property, Texas-inspired art and sculpture dot the landscape, from dramatic cascading waterfalls to the various western bronze statues encountered along the pathways and greenbelts. A sense of place, a purpose for everything, Craig Ranch is a community for all time.
