A modernized steel frame luxury mansion with views of The Star just listed in Frisco.
The “Infinity” residence at 3980 Starling Drive in Frisco boasts a unique-for-the-area trait: digitally designed and 3D-printed steel framework. The methodology slashed the time it took to build and frame the house from around three to six months to a mere four weeks, according to the Dallas Morning News. The mansion was listed for $15 million, or about $1,106 per square foot.
The building, which spans 13,559 square feet, is on track to be complete in 2027. The home features six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, a glass elevator that spans the three floors and an infinity edge pool. Along with a view of The Star, the home overlooks the city of Frisco and a nature preserve.
While there’s novelty in how the frame was designed, the finished product will look more like a home built in California, according to the outlet, who cited developer Shalin Patel of 100 Million Design + Build. The ceilings are high and the windows are tall, just like homes built in Los Angeles, Patel told the outlet.
The modernist approach fits the community. The gated Hills of Kingswood community is home to multiple professional athletes, who skew younger. Its proximity to The Star, the global headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys, could entice potential buyers from a pool of draft picks, free agents or executives whose businesses are moving their headquarters to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Steel is an interesting option for the area, as it provides heightened resistance to intense wind, according to Patel. Frisco lies on the edge of a part of the county called “Tornado Alley” for its boundaries: the Rocky Mountains to the west, and the Appalachian Mountains to the east.
The Denton Central Appraisal District pegged the home at $3.64 million for tax purposes, according to the outlet. The home sits on a 0.81-acre lot. Since its early June listing, the property has drawn interest from multiple prospective buyers.
