“Firefly Park reflects exactly what we look for when opening a TYLER’S in a new community. It is a thoughtfully planned, family-oriented space built around connection and shared experiences, backed by a team whose values align with our own. Firefly Park creates a natural gathering place where we can show up as more than just a retail store and contribute to the local community. We are excited to be part of a destination that truly feels close to home,” said Dale Grimes, TYLER’S owner.
Upon full buildout, Firefly Park will include 4 million square feet of Class A office space, 400,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment, 1,200 hotel rooms, 230 townhomes and 1,970 residential units, anchored by a 45-acre park with ponds, an illuminated art walk, trails and year-round gathering spaces.
