Parker Square’s framework of traditional planning and eclectic regional architecture provides identity and focus to a suburban area that previously had little physical sense of community. The 24-acre site is slated to hold 350,000 square feet of shops, offices, service-oriented businesses, and a health club. Two perpendicular streets—one north-south, the other east-west—enter the neighborhood from Cross Timbers Road, carving out a central town green between them, landscaped with lawns, trees, and a large bandstand at its heart. The storefront buildings lining both streets along the park rise to two stories, with articulated corner elements -- collectively summarizing the Texan traditions of town development, which occurs in various styles and economies.
