Frisco City Council approved a zoning request Aug. 4 for a 12-story multifamily high rise in the Wade Park mixed-use development.

Council also approved another request for zoning for The Gate, a mixed-use development, for a mixed-use residential neighborhood.

Both projects are part of Frisco’s $5 Billion Mile along the Dallas North Tollway.

The 175-acre Wade Park mixed-use development on the southeast corner of the DNT and Lebanon Road will include a mix of retail, restaurants, office space and residential space.

Representatives from Kimley-Horn & Associates, who are working with developer Thomas Land and Development on Wade Park, asked the planning and zoning commission to adjust the zoning to include a multifamily high rise.

The multifamily high rise is in addition to about seven high-rise office buildings ranging between six and 35 stories high at Wade Park.

Zoning was also approved for a multifamily residential neighborhood at The Gate, another mixed-use development that will be constructed north of the future extension of John Hickman Parkway.

The Gate will include hike and bike trails connecting to other developments.
