A Game Changer for East Edmond: The 645-Acre Arcadia Farm Project
East Edmond and Arcadia are on the verge of something transformational. What was once known as part of the late Aubrey McClendon’s sprawling property is now poised to become one of Oklahoma’s most ambitious and visionary developments — Arcadia Farm, a 645-acre master-planned community that’s being described as nothing short of a generational game changer.
A Vision Beyond a Neighborhood
Located just off the Turner Turnpike (I-44), south of E. 15th Street and west of Hiwassee Road, Arcadia Farm LLC — owned and controlled by the McClendon family — plans to turn this land into a thriving urban center and focal point for east Edmond.
This isn’t another typical mixed-use project. The vision extends far beyond retail, office, and residential space. The plan calls for up to 4,500 single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments, 120 acres of commercial development, and 200 acres of open and forested land.
According to the development team’s attorney, Todd McKinnis, the community will be “pedestrian-oriented” and designed around walkability, connectivity, and sustainability, featuring trails, parks, recreation, restaurants, and retail — all tied together by Edmond’s existing trail system and Arcadia Lake’s natural beauty.
Infrastructure and Connection
What makes this project particularly exciting is its strategic location near the Turner Turnpike, where highway expansion will soon include a new interchange at Post Road. This will effectively bridge Edmond and Oklahoma City’s east side, creating faster access and new possibilities for homeowners and businesses alike.
The project is expected to unfold over 20 to 30 years, ensuring a thoughtful, flexible, and forward-looking approach aligned with the Edmond Plan 2018 and East Edmond 2050 Plan — both of which emphasize sustainability, design quality, and community impact.
The Future of East Edmond and Arcadia
As someone who both lives and works in Arcadia, I’ve seen firsthand how the area has evolved while maintaining its charm and rural beauty. What makes east Edmond and Arcadia so special is the balance — peaceful country living with quick access to city amenities. This project will not only strengthen that connection but also create a self-contained lifestyle destination where families can truly live, work, shop, and play.
Growth in east Edmond continues to surge, with new luxury homes, ranches, and developments attracting those seeking space, serenity, and sophistication. With Arcadia Farm on the horizon, that growth is about to accelerate — and reshape the landscape for generations to come.
