StreetLights Residential is developing a 22-story luxury multifamily high-rise with three adjacent townhomes at 6501 Legacy Drive in Plano, Texas.
The development will deliver 261 thoughtfully designed high-rise residences within the tower, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes tailored to a more discerning renter seeking larger, more livable floorplans. Residences will range from approximately 682 to 2,843 square feet. Three adjacent townhomes will further enhance the community, offering three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath layouts ranging from 3,283 to 3,316 square feet, available for lease. The project will feature structured parking and an extensive suite of hospitality-inspired amenities. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026, with completion anticipated in February 2029.
Located within the 100-acre former JCPenney headquarters campus, the site offers a rare blend of connectivity and calm. Located directly across the street from Legacy West, the property provides walkable access to one of North Texas’ most vibrant retail and dining destinations, while maintaining a more private, residential setting defined by open space and greenery. Residents will enjoy immediate access to miles of walking trails, two city parks, multiple dog parks, and pickleball courts—a connected outdoor environment that is unmatched in the submarket.
“This project introduces a level of quality and design that has not been seen before in the suburban Dallas market,” said Greg Coutant, senior vice president of development at StreetLights Residential. “Gracefully situated between leisure and luxury, we’ve tailored every aspect of the building to an established demographic seeking a refined, maintenance-free lifestyle with immediate access to the experiences they value.”
The Residences
The residences deliver an elevated, hospitality-driven experience not commonly found in the Plano market, appealing to those seeking a more refined and connected lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed with expansive layouts and quality finishes, each home balances openness with a sense of intimacy, incorporating curated moments that enhance comfort and softness. Interiors are grounded in a nature-inspired, organic aesthetic that feels warm, refined, and approachable, creating a calm, inviting environment with a subtle sense of artistry woven throughout. A soft, neutral palette of browns, creams, and warm tones is complemented by nickel and bronze accents, while natural materials and rich wood tones are layered with varied textures to add depth and visual interest. Features include:
- Gas stoves and premium GE appliances, including Café in select homes
- Smart-home technology throughout
- Large kitchen islands, walk-in pantries, and oversized closets
- Wine refrigerators, powder baths, and fireplaces in select residences
- Expanded balconies, outdoor living spaces, and private yards in select residences

- Golf simulator and lounge
- Library, boardroom, coworking spaces, and formal lounge with coffee machine and refreshments

Architecture and Arrival Experience
Architecturally, the development draws from classic, estate-style design to create a warm, residential character distinct from the surrounding office environment. The ground floor and amenity spaces are composed to evoke a condominium-quality experience, with a strong emphasis on arrival and procession.
A grand, private entry drive leads residents through a carefully framed approach to the tower, culminating in a concierge lobby intentionally separated from leasing functions to preserve a sense of exclusivity. Three townhomes line this entry sequence, their front doors activating the streetscape and reinforcing a residential scale while framing the approach to the tower. This layered arrival experience establishes a clear transition from the surrounding commercial context into a more refined, residential setting—one that reflects the quality and craftsmanship found throughout the project.
