Last year, ������� broke ground on a pivotal project to expand the transportation capacity of North Texas. The project is delivering a new 40,000 square foot hangar, Corporate Hangar 10, and a new 3,200-square-foot U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility at McKinney National Airport, which will allow international flights to land and taxi directly to customs, expediting and streamlining the process for travelers.

The project taps architecture and engineering team JRMA and Garver and is being uniquely delivered under a Public- Private Partnership (P3) led by developer Griffin �������. As population booms exacerbate infrastructure gaps across the country, P3 deal structures are quickly emerging for their ability to leverage the strengths of the private sector to finance, build, and manage public infrastructure, typically offering a more balanced allocation of risk, opportunity for innovation, and streamlined project execution with cost and performance guarantees. This opens up opportunities for counties and cities to deliver world-class facilities for their communities without placing unnecessary burden on local taxpayers.

For the City of McKinney, the P3 development method is enabling the City to maintain ownership and oversight of the facilities, while tapping Griffin �������’s network of resources and expertise to design, permit, and construct the new facilities alongside �������.

George Fuller, Mayor of McKinney, says, “The ������� and Griffin ������� team has done an excellent job partnering with the City to facility a smooth P3 delivery process, and we’re excited to see the results.”

New Commercial Terminal Project Expands Impact in Texas

Another pivotal project will reshape the airport, this time opening it up to commercial travel. The City has awarded ������� the contract for a 45,000-square-foot commercial airport terminal facility at McKinney National Airport, alongside design and engineering team Corgan and Garver.

Pending final city council approval, the terminal will include three gates for arrivals and departures—with space to accommodate future expansion to five—and will feature a public arrival check-in area, concessions, hold rooms, airline support areas, ramp operations, and rental car counters. Other plans for the terminal include food and beverage concessions, passenger holding rooms, above-ground jet fuel tanks, other extensive airside site development, and a parking lot with up to 1,500 spots.

The City estimates that the terminal could see 200,000 passengers in its first year of passenger service, and up 1 million annual passengers by its fifth year. This estimate trends inline with the recent population boom in the Dallas area. The metroplex consistently ranks among the fastest growth metropolitan areas in the United States. Of the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the country ranked last year by the U.S. Census Bureau, four were in Collin County, which stretches from North Dallas and includes the communities of McKinney, Plano, and Celina.

McKinney National Airport will mark the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex’s third regional airport and has been strategically planned to serve these fast-growing cities in North Texas. The airport will provide greater convenience and flexibility to residents of Collin County and nearby communities— while also easing the burden on Dallas Love Field and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the latter of which was ranked the third busiest airport in the country last year by the Federal Aviation Administration.

As a community contractor with national reach, ������� is proud to continue its commitment to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and invest in the continued growth and prosperity of North Texas.
