HORSHAM, Pa., Feb. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE: TOL) (www.TollBrothers.com), the nation’s leading builder of luxury homes, through its Toll Brothers Apartment Living® rental subsidiary, and Daiwa House Texas Inc., a subsidiary of the largest single-family homebuilder in Japan, Daiwa House Group, have announced the formation of a new joint venture to develop Kilby, a 258-unit luxury apartment community in Frisco, Texas. The joint venture partnership has secured a construction loan facility from Citizens Bank. The debt and equity financing were arranged by Toll Brothers’ in-house Finance Department.
Kilby will be a part of Frisco Square, a 147-acre master-planned, mixed-use district within Frisco, TX. The surrounding area features restaurants, shops, theaters, the Frisco Library, Frisco Heritage Village and Museum, Discovery Center, Town Hall, and Toyota Stadium–home of the FC Dallas professional soccer team. Additionally, the community will have direct access to the Dallas North Tollway and major employers, including Legacy Business Park, Granite Business Park, Legacy West, Fedex Offices, Liberty Mutual, Toyota’s North American headquarters and JPMorgan Chase.
Toll Brothers Apartment Living will manage Kilby’s development, marketing, leasing and property management of the luxury apartment community. Last year, Toll Brothers purchased the development site from B/K Multifamily who has also remained involved in the project’s development.
Kilby amenities will include a club room, conference lounge, game lounge, standalone 2-story fitness center with yoga deck, pet spa, dog run, bike workshop & storage, outdoor patio & grills and resort-style pool. Leasing and first move-ins are projected for late 2020.
“We are excited to be a part of the development of Frisco Square,” said Charles Elliott, President, Toll Brothers Apartment Living. “Kilby will be a great addition to the master plan by providing a unique and thoughtful rental community focused on luxury and lifestyle.”
Fred Cooper, Toll Brothers’ Senior Vice President for Finance, International Development and Investor Relations, stated: “We are very pleased to be partnering with Daiwa House. We have spent time with them both in the U.S. and in Japan and have been very impressed with their global perspective and attention to quality, which pairs well with the Toll Brothers brand. We are also looking forward to working with Citizens Bank on our first rental project in the metro Dallas market.”
Takeshi Wakita, President of Daiwa House Texas stated: “Daiwa House Texas is excited to partner with Toll Brothers Apartment Living on the new Kilby luxury rental community in Frisco, TX. We expect that Kilby will be the first of many projects with Toll Brothers.”
