As we kick off the new year, we’re excited to share the latest updates on development here at Firefly. From infrastructure advancements to plans for phase one, we have our sights set on ambitious goals for 2025.
Horizontal Development Updates
The groundwork for Firefly’s infrastructure continues to make steady progress, ensuring the foundations for this expansive development are solid:
- Fire Hydrants: Installation has begun, adding vital infrastructure to support future construction and safety.
- Bridges: Crews are working south of the bridge abutment, advancing the area’s connectivity.
- Water Line Installation: We are nearing completion.
- Outfall Pipe Installation: Pond outfall added to further enhancing the site’s stormwater management capabilities.
- Duct Bank: Work on duct bank is progressing well and remains on track for a near completion, providing essential utility pathways for the development.
Phase One Updates
The first phase of Firefly is set to be a dynamic mix of residential, retail, and commercial spaces, creating a vibrant urban environment:
- Retail Space: 120,000 square feet of retail space will anchor phase one, offering a diverse array of shopping and dining options.
- High Rise & Mid Rise: 449 residential units, highhandedly designed with fabulous features and remarkable views of PGA Frisco.
- Dream Hotel + Firefly Offices: This standout feature will include 191 rooms atop 133,000 square feet of office space, adding a touch of luxury and functionality.
The majority of phase one development will align along Fireglass Way, a thoughtfully designed thoroughfare envisioned as the “heart of Firefly Park” according to Kyle Wilks. This vibrant urban corridor will connect seamlessly with an adjacent park, striking a balance between activity and natural serenity.
