Analyst Commentary

Tollway Reaches Celina: The Dallas North Tollway Phase 4A extends the highway to FM 428 in Celina. This dramatically improves connectivity to Frisco, Plano, and Dallas.

Commute Transformation: Celina-to-Legacy corridor drops from 35-40 minutes to 20-25 minutes. This opens Celina to commuters who previously considered it too remote.

Growth Accelerator: Every DNT extension has triggered development booms. Frisco's explosion followed tollway access. Celina is next.

The catalyst Celina needs. DNT access changes everything for commute-sensitive buyers. Buy in Light Farms or Cambridge Crossing before the extension opens and the premium prices in. This is infrastructure-driven appreciation—predictable and significant.
