A $500 million master-planned community by Hillwood Communities — known as Lilyana — got underway Thursday, with an official groundbreaking ceremony. The land was owned by the Wells family since before the Civil War.
Upon completion, the 400-acre community at the northeast corner of Frontier Parkway and Coit Road in Celina will be home to 1,250 single-family homes, with the first phase of homes expected to be complete next spring.
