TOWN MEETS COUNTRY T he Corvalla is the kind of development one might expect to fi nd in San Francisco, Boston, or Chicago — but it's in Frisco, the second-fastest-growing city in America. This luxury condominium project, slated to open in late fall 2018, blends the lifestyle of a single-story home with a lock- and-leave ease typically reserved for high-rises. Developers Robert Elliott Custom Homes and Western Securities Limited are behind the multi-million-dollar project, with architecture fi rm Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro in collaboration with Robert Elliott leading the design of The Corvalla's 121 single-story fl ats. Each residence will have a sleek, modern look, furnished with walk-in closets, plentiful windows, and kitchens fi tted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. "The Corvalla offers a fresh new design paired with highest quality construction," says developer Robert Elliott. It doesn't end there: Despite its urban vibe, The Corvalla offers resort-style amenities, with an onsite concierge and automatic social membership to the nearby Stonebriar Country Club. The property itself has spacious, manicured grounds with picturesque courtyards, architectural fountains, outdoor fi re pits, bocce ball courts, and a sprawling pool surrounded by cabanas. 5250 Town & Country Boulevard, Frisco, thecorvalla.com.
