Three new construction projects with Celina addresses have been registered with the state over the past week, including a child care center and a pair of retail buildings.

The state's Department of Licensing and Regulation, which received the filings, reviews building plans for accessibility. Dates and costs in the records are estimates supplied by the project teams and can change.

A Lightbridge Academy center

A project registered Oct. 2 describes new construction of a 14,600-square-foot child care center under the name Lightbridge Academy, Celina. The estimated cost is $3 million. Work is scheduled to start Oct. 15 and wrap up by Aug. 1, 2027.

The record lists the site only by its plat description, Lot 2, Block A, in Collin County, and does not give a street address. The owner is NW Legacy Developers LLC of Prosper. Colliers Engineering & Design, based in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, is listed as the design firm. No tenant is assigned in the filing, and no opening date has been announced.

Retail shells at Aubrey Parkway and FM 1385

Two filings, registered Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, cover shell buildings for retail and shopping center space in the Mustang Addition at the southeast corner of Aubrey Parkway and FM 1385, on the Denton County side of the area.

  • Building 1 would have 10,087 square feet, at an estimated cost of $1.26 million, with work from Oct. 30 to April 30, 2027.
  • Building 2 would have 15,470 square feet, at an estimated $1.93 million, with work from Oct. 30 to July 30, 2027.

Both list 1385 Rainbow LLC of Frisco as the owner and Design Group LLC of Frisco as the designer. Neither filing names tenants, so it is not yet known which businesses would move in.
