City Council Member Don Day’s DFA, Ltd. is currently constructing a 17,550-square-foot office building behind McKinney City Hall.


The three-story building, located at 230 E. Hunt St., still has some space available, Day said, adding that he is finishing leases and suite designs for the entire second floor and a quarter of the first floor. He is also working with a tenant that may occupy the entire third floor, though he said he cannot release the tenant’s name at this time but plans to do so once documents have been signed.


“Downtown McKinney provides a unique environment for businesses wanting to locate near a range of services for their employees,” Day said. “[It] is a pedestrian-friendly village with more than 20 restaurants, over 100 retail shops, a performing arts center and a historic village. Money Magazine named McKinney as the best place to live in America in 2014 because of its ‘gem of a downtown,’ which is considered one of the premier historic retail and restaurant venues in the nation.”


Day said he is also working on an addition to his property at 400 W. Virginia St., which will add office space and mimic the design of the existing building.


In 2000, Day purchased and renovated several buildings in downtown McKinney and worked to bring the historic square back to its former position as the city’s hub. He owns Rick’s Chop House, The Grand Hotel and co-owns Harvest Seasonal Kitchen.
