A tenant improvement in McKinney starts from whatever the lease says the landlord delivers, and the space on offer here runs from newer shell and second-generation space along US-75 and around Stonebridge Ranch to older buildings on the historic downtown square. That delivered condition decides the cost: a raw shell needs everything, a white box needs layout and finishes, and a second-generation space may need only reconfiguration and cosmetics.

McKinney runs two commercial markets at once, the historic downtown square and the newer corridor inventory along US-75 and around Stonebridge Ranch, and downtown buildings carry design review requirements and building-age conditions the corridor does not. Inside an overlay, a tenant improvement that touches the storefront or signage carries the design review as well as the landlord's approval, so both submittals go in together rather than one after the other.

Tenant Improvement in McKinney: common questions

What does a tenant improvement cost in McKinney?

McKinney runs from historic downtown stock to new shell on the north side. What moves a McKinney number is which building you signed and whether your business stays open during the work. Paint and flooring refresh runs $10 to $25/SF, Light office TI runs $35 to $65/SF, Standard office TI runs $65 to $95/SF, and Higher-end office TI runs $95 to $140/SF. These are budgeting ranges, not a quote: scope moves the number more than square footage does, and every job is scoped and priced per project after a site walk. Permits and standard city inspections are in the price. FF&E, design and engineering, landlord fees and the category adders are priced separately and named in the written scope.

Who permits a tenant improvement in McKinney?

The City of McKinney issues the building permit, and the trade permits follow the scope. The landlord's sign-off on the drawings is part of the same path, and the building's rules for contractor hours, loading and insurance certificates are gathered before anything is submitted.

How does a suite along US-75 or near Stonebridge Ranch compare with a building on the downtown square for a tenant improvement?

Along US-75 and around Stonebridge Ranch, a raw shell is typically a slab, exterior walls, a roof and utilities stubbed to the space, so framing, mechanical distribution, ceilings, lighting and restrooms are all the tenant's build. On the historic downtown square, a storefront that has changed hands several times can carry systems from more than one prior tenant, so the walk looks above the ceiling before anything is priced. We confirm which one you are looking at on the walk, before you budget.

What is the difference between a white box and a full finish-out in McKinney?

A white box, or vanilla shell, is a raw but demised space: studs, a concrete floor, HVAC stub-outs, an electrical panel and restroom rough-ins. A full finish-out adds everything a tenant needs to operate: flooring, ceilings, lighting, paint, millwork and trade finishes. The lease says which one the landlord delivers, and we build from there.

Can you keep a McKinney suite open during the work?

Yes. We phase after hours, contain dust, clean up and reset nightly, and hand the space back ready for the next business day. That protection carries a multiplier, and it appears as its own line in the scope. The medical office we rebuilt in McKinney kept seeing patients throughout.
