The Ablon @ Frisco Square to be complete by late 2015
Another apartment community is coming to Frisco Square.
The Ablon @ Frisco Square will be a multifamily apartment community with Class A amenities, built east of Forest Park Medical Center and west of Pizzeria Testa on 3.41 acres, according to PegasusAblon Marketing Director Jennifer Smart.
Plans are to break ground on the apartments sometime this year and complete construction by late 2015, Smart said.
The apartment community will include 287 for–rent apartments, featuring one- and two-bedroom options.
The Ablon @ Frisco Square will be constructed in a "wrap" configuration around a structured parking garage and other amenities, including a resort-style clubhouse and pool with TV lounges, dining areas and outdoor fireplaces.
"It will have an inviting feel that fuses with future surrounding development," Smart said. "The spirit of the project is to blend modern luxuries with influences and elements of the past wrapped in lush landscaping in order to create an attractive building."
Smart said architectural characteristics will include a simple, light-colored masonry facade with some natural stone and brick; balconies on all units; and coastal vegetation including citrus, herbs and palms.
The community will also feature two rectangular courtyards, Smart said.
One courtyard features a resort-style pool overlooked by a sun deck with a cabana, outdoor kitchen and eating area complete with a barbecue grill covered by wooden shade structures. The other courtyard will be a garden with a water feature and an outdoor fireplace.
Smart said the rental rates will be decided once the apartments are constructed.
This is the second Ablon apartment community to be built in Frisco. Ablon at Frisco Bridges, a 250-unit Class A multifamily complex, opened in February 2013 on 3.34 acres on the northeast corner of the Dallas North Tollway and SH 121, between Gaylord Parkway and Warren Parkway.
That property has been sold and renamed Colonial Reserve at Frisco Bridges, Smart said.
