A new developmental decision was approved by the Frisco City Council on Tuesday for a new subdivision of ‘green’ homes.
Being built at the corner of Independence and Rolater, the area previously zoned as agricultural land, will soon have homes with grass roofs.
Associate Principal Ziaer reacts to a model of the new homes.
“They seem environmentally friendly so that’s good,” senior Ali Smilie said. “I think it’s cool but it’ll definitely be different, as long as it’s helping the environment.”
Total Environment, an India-based company will take the lead on this new project, building 122 homes in the neighborhood and many trails for the community to use.
“It’s going to definitely add a different dynamic to our community,’ Associate Principal Jon-Eric Ziaer said. “Apparently overseas it’s been a very popular design so we’ll see.”
The homes won’t be cheap as they will be starting on the market at approximately $900,000.
