Fields

If The Fields hits its stride—Universal thrives, Fields West becomes the next Legacy West, and the residential communities fill with high-income families—this becomes the crown jewel of DFW suburbs.

What happens:

• Property values in the immediate area could see 5-8% annual appreciation through 2030
• The PGA Championships in 2027 and 2034 bring national attention (and buyers)
• Frisco cements its position as the destination suburb for families who want amenities over acreage
• Resale values for first-phase homes in The Preserve and Brookside could outpace the broader market significantly

The risk isn't total failure—it's overextension. $12.7B is a massive bet, and it requires sustained demand.

What could go wrong:

• Universal underperforms (theme parks outside Orlando/LA have mixed track records)
• Fields West struggles to attract tenants in a softening retail environment
• The 10,000+ homes create a supply glut, pressuring prices
• Traffic becomes so severe that the convenience advantage disappears

If this happens, you'd see slower appreciation, longer days on market, and the "premium" you paid at purchase taking longer to materialize. It's not catastrophic, but it's a correction.
