Construction on McKinney’s new city hall continues with expected completion by 2025.

As of right now, the building’s fourth floor is under construction while Pogue Construction forms columns for the fifth floor, the city said. Primary access points are under construction as well as Virginia Street undergoes repaving with a new asphalt surface and as Louisiana and Greenville streets undergo reconstruction.

In addition to building construction, the city’s working on installing underground utilities to support the new city hall. A centralized utility plant is also currently underway.

Planning for a new city hall began in 2019, when voters passed a $50 million bond proposition to fund the municipal complex that will house the new McKinney City Hall, according to the city website.

According to the city, the current city hall is a converted bank building constructed in the 1950s and a development services building from the 1960s. As the community continues growing, so too do city departments to serve incoming residents and businesses. To accommodate the growth, the city put together plans for a municipal complex.

In addition to the incoming complex, the city put together a master plan for the district, to be bordered by State Highway 5, Lamar Street, Throckmorton Street and Virginia Street, according to a March 2022 city council presentation. The development will include mixed use buildings, office space, live/work areas and the municipal complex.

The new development aims to serve as a catalyst project for the area, providing a gathering space east of downtown.
