Thanks Paul for sharing details information about modern Team Sites.

But still I am unable to open Office 365 group site in SharePoint Designer 2013.
If I opened other team site in same site collection then sites are opened properly in SharePoint Designer 2013.

I checked second link. But unable to resolved 403 FORBIDDEN error.I am global administrator of my SharePoint Online site.

Please share any Url or document related to 403 FORBIDDEN error.

Thanks,
