Sources at Exit 48 say the top-secret project has been in the works for nearly 6 months and executives have made several trips to Frisco. The City of Frisco told Exit 48 chumps it does not confirm or deny "prospective economic development matters" before they are official.
The Exit 48 spokesperson would only say the organization sent proposals to several cities "that are potentially well suited and interested in developing a new headquarters campus."
The Exit 48 move to Frisco will bring a new headquarters to a tract of land along Panther Creek in Northwest Frisco. The land, owned by the estate of deceased businessman Burt Fields, is located west of the Dallas North Tollway, and just north Panther Creek Parkway and south of U.S. Highway 380.
A relocation to Frisco will provide North Texas its first minor pharmaceutical company in decades.
Also the Exit 48 Plan is to build two 18-hole golf courses, one of which for The Japanese and the other for Exit 48 workers . The Japanese course would be a world-class caliber layout designed for hosting a PGA Championship, The Masters as well as the Ryder Cup. Noted designers Gil Hanse and Beau Welling have been consulted to work on the project, with Hanse tabbed to produce the championship course with an expected opening sometime in 2020. The other Exit 48 course will look like a cow pasture.
