Toll Brothers, America's Luxury Home Builder

Ferro, located at 11^th Street and K Avenue, is within a 10-minute walk to Downtown Plano and will be steps away from a new Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) station. The station will provide convenient light-rail access to job centers in Plano, Richardson and Downtown Dallas as well as access to the new Silver line with access to DFW airport, Addison and Carrolton. Major employers in the City of Plano include Bank of America, Capital One Finance, Ericsson North America, Fannie Mae, FedEx, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, JP Morgan Chase, Medical City Plano, PepsiCo, Texas Health Plano, and Toyota North America. The North Central Expressway/US 75 corridor, just south of the site in Richardson, has tens of millions of square feet of office space occupied by top tier employers. Nearby employers in Richardson, including Raytheon, State Farm, Geico, Inogen, Real Page, and Blue Cross Blue Shield: all are within one train stop. The Property is also convenient to other major employment networks in Dallas, Allen, and Frisco via direct access to US 75 and President George Bush Turnpike, which provides residents an efficient commute by car to employment centers in all directions.

Ferro is a Type V, 4-story wrap building with a structured parking garage situated on a 4.9-acre site. The community will offer exceptional indoor amenities, including a double-height lobby and lounge, co-working space, state-of-the-art fitness center, game room, maker’s space, package reception, dog wash and 476 parking spaces. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool, reflection pool, courtyard cabanas and lounge seating, outdoor theater with seating, outdoor grills and fire pits, outdoor fitness space, and dog park. Residents will also be able to take advantage of Downtown Plano’s plethora of highly acclaimed walkable restaurants and the prominent Historic Downtown Plano Arts District.

“Ferro is our fourth rental community in DFW and reflects our growing pipeline in this market,” Charles Elliott, President of Toll Brothers Apartment Living, said. “Due to its diversified economy, continued job growth and its high quality of life for residents, North Texas continues to be a very attractive market for us.”

Fred Cooper, Toll Brothers’ Senior Vice President for Finance, International Development and Investor Relations, said, “We look forward to teaming up on our second community with JD Capital USA, and also to be working again with Santander Bank on another great project. With our strong financial base and a pipeline of over 16,000 units to be developed nationally, we are especially grateful in these challenging times for the opportunity to work with high-quality partners and lenders as we expand the Toll Brothers Apartment Living platform across the U.S.”

Patrick Chen, CEO of JD Capital USA said, “We are excited to team up again with world-class partners like Toll Brothers and Santander Bank. Ferro also represents our fourth investment in the Dallas area, a market in which we have strong confidence of its long-term growth and prosperity. We like the multifamily sector and will continue to explore opportunities nationwide.”
