LEWISVILLE, TX—Many people opt for apartment living because of its many communal perks, where others desire the privacy and space of a single home. The Big House concept allows for both. Phase V of the $300 million resort-style Hebron 121 Station recently broke ground using this design concept.
The Big House design—eliminating standard multifamily features such as common spaces and shared breezeways—allows each unit direct entry to its own garage, plus private stairs for upper units, and walkout patios and balconies. It is one of the only Big House design projects in the DFW metro.
Multifamily general contractor, KWA Construction, was selected by developer Huffines Communities to build Phases III and IV prior to breaking ground on Phase V. The latest $35.5 million phase incorporates the Big House concept created by multifamily architect Humphreys & Partners Architects LP.
“By eliminating standard multifamily features such as common spaces and shared breezeways, Big House communities create the feeling of living in a private home while still containing valued apartment amenities,” said Brian Webster, president of KWA Construction.
This phase will span 301,931 square feet and consist of 35 three-story wood-framed buildings—22 townhomes and 13 garden apartments—that will include 272 multifamily units. Additional amenities are a swimming pool and dog park.
“Phase V of Hebron 121 Station is KWA's first project incorporating Humphreys Big House design, one of the most cutting-edge concepts in multifamily living,” Webster tells GlobeSt.com.
Upon completion of the fifth and final phase in September 2019, the development will span more than 90 acres including 1,700 units, a restaurant and fitness center. Hebron 121 Station is located at 880 Union Station Pkwy., just across Interstate 35E from Vista Ridge Mall and north of the Sam Rayburn Tollway.
