The Carpenter Family Ranch, named El Ranchito de Las Colinas, Spanish for “The Little Ranch of the Hills,” was transformed into a master-planned community in 1973. Ben Carpenter envisioned a world-class development that would serve as a center for North Texas businesses and a place for their employees to live. Carpenter’s vision has been realized with more than 120,000 employees and 45,000 residents calling Las Colinas home today.
