Construction on the 183-unit, two building, five-story development is projected to be complete next year and will include 12,700 square feet of restaurant and retail space, according to Southern Land Company/SLC, a Nashville-based multifamily developer.

“Morada Plano is the second high-quality apartment community that Southern Land has developed in the heart of historic downtown Plano,” said SLC CEO Tim Downey. “The preservation of the history of downtown Plano is what continues to draw us to the area.”

Morada Plano will offer resident amenities including a landscaped pool and deck with private gazebos and flat-screen televisions, a 24-hour fitness center, game room, business center, a pet parlor for on-site pet grooming and community-wide Wi-Fi.
