Crews broke ground on The Noc and Aurora—two residential communities within the 217-acre Firefly Park development—in September and October, respectively.
When the development is completed, it is expected to cost between $2.5 billion and $4 billion. It will have residences, a hotel, retail and dining space, and a 45-acre park featuring lakes, trails, an art walk and playgrounds.
Wilks Development, the company behind the project, broke ground in April 2024 and is expected to open Firefly Park in 2027.
The specifics
Firefly Park is set to include:
- 3 million square feet of office space
- 400,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space
- 1,200 hotel rooms
- 1,970 mid- and high-rise residential units
- 45-acre park
The Noc and Aurora are set to be completed in fall 2027.
What's next?
Construction on the retail space in the development will begin in December, Ellis said, and it will take about 10 months to build the shell spaces and an additional 10 months for tenants to fill the spaces. The retail space could be finished by fall 2027, and Wilks Development may start revealing tenants in November, Ellis said.
Crews will begin construction on a hotel and office, as well as a chapel and event center to be included in the development in February 2026, with an expected completion date in fall 2027.
A parking garage for the development could also be completed in May 2027. Construction on the 45-acre park is ongoing and should be completed in early summer 2027, Ellis said.
What they’re saying
Kyle Wilks, CEO of Wilks Development, said he’s building in Frisco because of its school districts, as well as the growth and job creation taking place in the city.
“We just really believe in this area and believe in the city of Frisco,” Wilks said.
