FRISCO, TEXAS — Wilks Development has broken ground on The Noc, the first residential community at Firefly Park in Frisco. Firefly Park is Fort Worth-based Wilks’ 217-acre mixed-use project that will be developed in three phases over the next 10 years. At completion, Firefly Park will be home to a 45-acre park with playgrounds, hiking and biking trails and ponds; 400,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space; approximately 3 million square feet of office space; 230 for-sale townhomes; Aurora at Firefly Park, a 251-unit multifamily high-rise; and The Noc at Firefly Park, a 187-unit mid-rise apartment property.
Construction of The Noc began in late September, with completion expected by fall 2027. Designed by architecture firm Hord | Coplan | Macht, The Noc will feature 187 studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans and such amenities as coworking and conference spaces, a fitness center, a dog spa, bike storage, a resident lounge with golf simulators and a resort-style pool surrounded by a deck with cabanas and fire tables. Dallas-based Andres Construction is the general contractor. Mason Joseph Real Estate arranged $46.8 million in HUD financing for the development.
Within the greater Firefly Park project, Sasaki is leading park and landscape design, BOKA Powell is the architect for the office space, Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer, and Hord | Coplan | Macht is designing the retail and multifamily components.
