Going vertical: Construction ramps up on Frisco’s Firefly Park development

Firefly Park is making headway in north Frisco. 

The details: The development is going vertical on several aspects of the project including the Aurora—a high-rise multifamily housing development—structured parking and the chapel. The real space is expected to break ground in the coming weeks.

Firefly is located between US 380 and PGA Parkway along the Dallas North Tollway. The development is expected to be completed in three phases, with Phase 1 bringing with it:

  • 120,000 square feet of retail
  • 170,000 square feet class A office space
  • 233 high-rise units
  • 187 mid-rise units
  • 230 for-sale luxury townhomes
  • 177-room hotel
  • 45-acre park

Quote of note: “It's going to feel like you're in a place that's really high-end, very urban, but it's going to have this natural edge," said Kyle Wilks, Wilks Development president and CEO.
