(Tyler, Texas)  For the past decade or more Tyler residents would flock to the southeast corner of Loop 323 and Hwy. 155 between mid-November and Christmas to the Christmas tree tent to pick out a beautiful live Christmas tree.

Any other time, at that same location you'd see vendors there selling rugs, honey, steaks, watermelons, Bonsai trees, and all sorts of other things. For the past couple of years though, a plant dealer would set up shop and sell seasonal plants there in the spring and fall.

The days of seeing that happening on this huge empty lot at the third busiest intersection in the city are numbered because this land is officially on the market.

Genecov has big dreams for this master-planned development. They have the property divided up into:

  • 15 acres for a multi-family development
  • 6 acres for an anchor retail store
  • at least 8 one-acre lots that can be divided into smaller lots

This is going to be another huge growth area for Tyler. The city's west side is seeing a major development on the west side of Loop 323 and Earl Campbell Parkway that will soon feature a new Brookshire's, Chick-fil-A, Freddy's Frozen Custard, and 7 Brew, along with a planned residential community.

Tyler has seen growth along S. Broadway south of Cumberland Road and there are plans in the works for a new development to go across the street between S Broadway and Faulkner Park.

Tyler is growing and it appears as if it's not going to be slowing down anytime soon

A contributor in a closed social media group posed the question, 'What would be a good thing to put there?' In reference to the new Loop 323 and Hwy. 155 development. The responses were informative, hilarious, predictable, and eye-opening at the same time.

Some of the responses were:

I do know this, there's no stopping progress no matter how bad traffic will be in the area once it's developed and bustling with commerce.
