The property’s precast garages are complete and framing is underway with projected completion in April 2017. “We will begin pre-leasing activity this May and will have the property online in the 4^th quarter,” said Randall Johnson, VP of Residential Construction.

Terra Lago is a four-story Mediterranean-style apartment complex comprised of 447 units. Located on the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, this piece of land features old-growth trees and scenic rocky banks. The City is planning to further enhance this site by building a park and walking trail at this location. Residents will be able to step outside and enjoy these features in their own back yard. The plan even envisions a water taxi that would transport guests to other points along the lake.

The project will be built to cater to those who wish for the best of what Rowlett and multi-family living have to offer. With an exquisite Mediterranean facade, every detail of a carefree lifestyle will be incorporated into the complex. A state-of-the-art fitness center and luxury community room will be enjoyed by residents, as will the courtyard pool areas and outdoor cooking facilities. Residents will park in structured parking and be able to enter the buildings on the floors on which they live. Then, walking through air-conditioned corridors, they will live in units that feature a wide array of upscale amenities such as granite countertops, island kitchens, and all of the appointments found in only the best luxury apartment properties.
