The station has two levels, with the ground-level at 12th Street & K Avenue serving the Silver Line and the elevated level (two blocks west at 1000 12th Street) serving the Red Line and the Orange Line.[1] The City of Plano approved the purchase of a piece of land in February 2015 in anticipation of its construction.[2][3][4]

The two platforms will be connected by a sidewalk about 500 feet (150 m) long. The station's bus bays and parking lots will be next to the Silver Line platform: the bus bays and a small parking lot on its north side and a larger parking lot on its south side.[1]

The station is scheduled to open with the completion of the Silver Line in late 2025 to mid-2026.[5]
