PROPERTY OVERVIEW
A prime development opportunity in the heart of Murphy, Texas, this vacant commercial acreage is situated at TBD N Murphy Road, 75094. Positioned within the city's designated Town Center (TC) District (previously the Central Business District), the site is envisioned for a vibrant mixture of land uses, including office, retail, medical, and entertainment facilities. This property is strategically located in an area characterized by rapid growth and high average household incomes, making it an ideal location to service the affluent Murphy community.
KEY FEATURES & AREA ACTIVITIES
Zoning & Permitted Uses: The property's TC zoning encourages diverse commercial development. Ideal uses include general retail storefronts, restaurants, professional/medical offices (such as urgent care, pediatric dentistry, physical therapy, or veterinary clinics), fitness centers, and educational facilities. The specific nature of the Town Center District means a variety of businesses can thrive here, catering to the local demand for services and amenities.
Access: Ingress and egress access is a required component of development and can be integrated with adjacent retail centers (like those near the N. Murphy Rd & Betsy Lane intersection which feature a 7 Eleven, dental office, and other businesses) to facilitate efficient traffic flow. Existing nearby properties benefit from excellent visibility on a high-traffic road, with some boasting dedicated turn lanes and monument signage.
Location & Demographics: The site is centrally located amidst significant residential properties, including single-family homes and new developments, ensuring a strong, built-in customer base. The area experiences substantial daily traffic counts, which enhances visibility for any future business. The proximity to multiple schools (McMillan High School, Murphy Middle School, Hunt Elementary) also provides a steady stream of potential clients and employees. The site is a short distance north of Murphy's busiest intersection at FM 544 and N. Murphy Road.
Area Activities: The surrounding area is a burgeoning commercial hub. Nearby existing amenities include major anchors like Sprouts Farmers Market, a 24 Hour Fitness, and Lowes, along with various other retail and dining options. This established commercial ecosystem provides co-tenancy synergy and draws consumers from across the region.
This property represents a premier opportunity to establish a lasting presence in one of Collin County's fastest-growing and most desirable suburban markets.

Based on the strong demographics (high average household income, over 180,000 residents in the trade area) and existing retail demand studies, the following specific business types would complement the current commercial landscape in the Murphy Town Center District:
Target Business Categories
Sit-Down Dining & Specialty Food: Residents currently leave Murphy for most sit-down dining experiences, indicating a significant unmet demand. Casual Dining Restaurants: Family-friendly concepts (e.g., Italian, Mexican, American grill) are ideal for the surrounding residential base. Boutique Cafes/Bakeries: Higher-end coffee shops or bakeries can attract a steady stream of local patrons during morning and daytime hours. Specialty/Fast-Casual: Concepts similar to the coming Panera Bread or Hawaiian Brothers are desirable, especially those with drive-thru options. Health & Wellness Services: The area can support various health-oriented businesses, filling a gap where 40% of residents currently travel over 20 miles for healthcare. Boutique Fitness Studios: Specialized gyms, yoga studios, or personal training centers cater to a health-conscious, affluent demographic. Medical & Professional Offices: Urgent care clinics, pediatric dentistry, physical therapy, or veterinary clinics are excellent fits, as professional services are encouraged in the Town Center. Holistic Health: Services such as acupuncture or massage therapy spas are in growing demand. Specialty Soft Goods & Home Goods Retail: There is high demand for more local options in clothing, home decor, and pet supplies. Clothing & Accessories Boutiques: Stores offering options beyond basic family clothing (e.g., fashion boutiques, shoe stores, jewelry). Home Decor/Furnishings: Shops similar to World Market or Kirkland's can attract residents looking to furnish their nearby homes.
Pet Supply Stores: A pet supply store (e.g., PetSmart/Petco) has shown high interest among residents. Professional & Personal Services: The high-income residents often use services for convenience. Tutoring & Educational Centers: Services catering to students from the nearby schools (McMillan, Murphy Middle, Hunt Elementary).
High-End Salons & Spas: Services like the coming European Wax Center are popular choices. Financial/Real Estate/IT Consulting: Office space for professionals serving the community. Integrating a mix of these businesses would align with the City's vision for a pedestrian-oriented and vibrant Town Center District that serves as a central hub for the Murphy community.
