A mixed-use park, not just an industrial one
Most small-bay parks are operations-only: you get a warehouse bay and a door, and customers never visit. McKinney is planned differently. Roughly 20,000 SF of the build fronts McDonald Street as retail and showroom space, with flex bays behind and beside it.
That matters if your business has two halves. A flooring company can put samples and a design desk in the front while cutting and staging in the back. A specialty retailer can sell from the storefront and hold inventory twenty feet away instead of paying for offsite storage. A service business can meet clients somewhere that looks like a real business.
Why McKinney
Collin County has been among the fastest-growing counties in the country for a decade, and McKinney sits at the center of it. Rooftops arrive ahead of the commercial space that serves them, which is exactly the gap small-bay flex fills — the contractors, trades, and local businesses that support new housing need somewhere to operate from.
The site fronts N McDonald Street (State Highway 5), a primary north-south corridor through McKinney, north of the historic downtown square and inside the city's growth path rather than behind it.
Rockwall or McKinney?
We build both, so here is the honest comparison rather than a pitch for whichever is closer to you.
| Rockwall Flex Park | McKinney Flex Park | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Pure small-bay flex | Mixed-use retail / showroom / flex |
| Units | 30 | 40+ |
| Unit sizes | 1,500–3,000 SF | 1,800–3,500 SF |
| Site | 5 acres | 6.2 acres |
| Timing | Delivers Summer 2027 | Breaks ground Q4 2026 |
| Best for | Operations-first tenants | Customer-facing businesses |
If you need space sooner and your customers rarely visit, Rockwall is the faster path. If foot traffic and storefront visibility drive your revenue, McKinney is worth the wait.
Common questions
What kind of space is McKinney Flex Park?
Mixed-use: roughly 75,000 SF across 40+ units combining retail, showroom, and flex industrial space, with about 20,000 SF of retail and showroom fronting McDonald Street. Unit sizes run 1,800 to 3,500 SF.
When does McKinney Flex Park break ground?
Groundbreaking is planned for Q4 2026, with delivery expected in late 2027. The site is secured and currently in design and permitting. Early interest registrations get first look at unit selection.
Can I run a retail business here?
Yes. Unlike a purely industrial park, McKinney is designed with retail and showroom frontage on McDonald Street specifically for customer-facing businesses, with flex bays for operations behind them. Confirm your specific use — our guide to permitted use explains what to check.
How does McKinney compare to Rockwall?
Rockwall is a pure small-bay flex park of 30 units from 1,500 to 3,000 SF delivering Summer 2027. McKinney is larger and mixed-use with retail frontage, breaking ground Q4 2026. Choose Rockwall for operations-first, McKinney if customer traffic matters.
