The Karahan Companies is a fully integrated group of real estate development, property management, and investment operation with a wide range of capabilities and resources through a worldwide network of investment and strategic partners founded in 1982. 

Early on, the Karahan Companies developed numerous neighborhood and grocery anchored retail projects throughout the Metroplex. In 1995, the Karahan Companies master planned and developed the year’s largest project, the 110-acre mixed-use MacArthur Crossing development featuring office, hotel, medical, and retail uses.

In 1998, EDS selected the Karahan Companies to become the exclusive retail developer for Legacy in northwest Plano, Texas. Created by visionary Ross Perot in 1985, Legacy business park is now a 2,665-acre master-planned corporate, retail, and residential community. With the Karahan Companies' “hands on” attention to detail and single-project focus, Legacy Town Center and The Shops at Legacy development are considered among the most successful mixed-use projects in the United States, generating not only enviable economic results but also winning many local and national awards and the accolades of many competitors.

The Karahan Companies kicked off on the 240-acre 'super regional' Legacy West development in 2014. Today, Legacy West is home to headquarters of Toyota North America, FedEx Office, Boeing Global Services, NTT Data USA, and regional offices for JPMorgan Chase, and Liberty Mutual. In addition to these corporations, Legacy West includes more than 400,000 square feet of mixed-use retail, restaurant, and entertainment. Legacy West also features a 303-room Renaissance hotel and nearly 2,000 residential units, including townhomes, apartments, and condominiums. In 2018, the Dallas Morning News named Legacy West "the most successful real estate development in the history of North Texas."

Currently, the Karahan Companies is a development partner with Hunt Realty Investments in Fields, a 2,500-acre master planned community located in Frisco, Texas. Fields is where commercial ventures, intellectual pursuits, luxury living, and nature intersect. This one-of-a-kind 2,500-acre mixed-use development features carefully curated retail, restaurant, and entertainment space, Class-A office, and multiple residential options, from urban living apartments to custom luxury homes in The Preserve, Field’s private gated community. Located off the Dallas North Tollway, Fields is home to the PGA of America headquarters, and the Omni PGA Frisco Resort with two 18-hole championship golf courses, and the first Universal Studios Kids Resort, opening in 2026.
