Senior-living residents will be treated to a Texas Hill Country theme in The Outlook at Windhaven, which will be completed by 2024.

Senior residents who have an affinity for the Texas Hill Country will have a place to call home in … Plano.

Yes, Plano.

Plano will be the site of The Outlook at Windhaven, an 18.2-acre creekside property at West Spring Creek Parkway and Windhaven Parkway, near Windhaven Meadows Park. The community is part of the redevelopment of the Haggard family farm. The site includes a five-acre tree-lined creek bike and hike trailing.

Dallas-based owner and developer Forefront Living, a nonprofit, broke ground on the project last week with construction expected to be completed by 2024. Tim Mallad, Forefront Living CEO, said in a statement that the community is more than 70 percent pre-sold.

Dallas-based Three Living Architecture designed the project with materials that pay homage to the Texas Hill Country.

“The design takes inspiration from the beautiful, existing grove of trees along a small creek on the farmland where we’re building,” Carl Ede, principal and senior designer of Three, said in a statement. ”The cottages and other units are oriented so that the expansive windows offer views of the tree-lined setting.”

Forefront Living officials broke ground on The Outlook at Windhaven last week. They were Steven Ailey, CFO; Barbara Matamoros, director of sales and marketing; Neil Foote, board chairman; Tim Mallad, CEO; Phil Wentworth, board member; Kim Harden, executive director; and Scott Polzin, corporate director of operations.

The 530,000-square-foot gated community will include 153 apartments and 30 cottage homes for independent living, 32 assisted-living apartments, and 24 memory-support suites.

The independent-living apartments will feature 14 unique floor plans ranging from 900 to 1,950 square feet. The independent living cottages will feature two floor-plan options ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 square feet and will include front porches, private courtyards, and attached garages.

In North Texas, Three also has designed independent living and assisted-living residences in Colleyville (Colleyville MRC and Heritage Farms), Mansfield (Cedar Bluff at Rochester Springs), Dallas (Presbyterian Village North, The Veranda, Signature Pointe on the Lake, Caruth Haven Court, and Edgemere), McKinney (Touchmark at Emerald Lake), Fort Worth (Town Village Ridgemar), and Arlington (Town Village Arlington).
