Beacon Square in Plano is an exceptional location for a Livewell Animal Hospital, set within an 83-acre, master-planned development at Coit Road and the George Bush Turnpike. This vibrant mixed-use community combines 1,144 multifamily units, 800,000 square feet of office space, and 71,000 square feet of retail—all within a walkable campus designed for convenience and connection.
