20 Dec SkyHouse Frisco Station Tops Out
Luxury High Rise Reaches Halfway Point, Delivery Expected in Fall 2019
Frisco, Texas (December 20, 2018) — Construction crews ceremonially topped-out SkyHouse Frisco Station today, as the construction team completed the 25th floor of the 25-story, 332-residence luxury tower at the Hub at Frisco Station.
The milestone signals the high rise apartment building is halfway to completion. It is expected to be delivered in September 2019 with leasing starting in the summer. The development team of Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Company (BCDC) and Stockbridge Capital Group broke ground on the tower in February 2018.
“SkyHouse Frisco Station is on schedule, and we are pleased to be that much closer to offering residents the opportunity to be among the first to live in this unique building centrally located in the Hub, the centerpiece of Frisco Station,” said Jim Borders, President, Novare Group. “Balfour Beatty and the entire construction team is doing an excellent job delivering a major project in a safe and expedient manner. We are excited to reach this important milestone.”
The tower will feature studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a top-of-market Sky Deck on the 25th floor, including a resort-style pool, an outdoor kitchen, fireplaces, lounge seating and TVs, a pool table and demonstration kitchen.
SkyHouse amenities will include a state-of-the-art 24-hour gym, yoga, Pilates and cross-training room, dog spa, controlled access entry, parking garage, fully equipped business center with gourmet coffee bar, and conference room with Apple TV and WiFi in the common areas.
Residents of SkyHouse will live within The Hub, Frisco Station’s centerpiece designed with more than 200,000 square feet of unique food and beverage concepts, innovative entertainment options and diverse retail selections.
The Hub is distinctive from other retail districts through its integration of activated parks and open space, and connectivity to the development’s office, medical and residential platforms. The Hub will feature a dual-brand AC Hotel and Residence Inn, both by Marriott, and a Canopy by Hilton, and ultimately include 600 total hotel rooms.
Novare Group and BCDC are sponsoring SkyHouse Frisco Station in a venture with Stockbridge Capital Group, with Compass Bank and Trustmark Bank providing the construction financing.
The luxury apartment tower is the 18th SkyHouse-branded project by the Novare/BCDC partnership, following other projects in Texas as well as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Colorado. The program has delivered more than $1.8 billion in new mixed-use development this real estate cycle.
