Construction is expected to begin soon on a new fire station in McKinney.

McKinney City Council is slated to consider approving the guaranteed maximum price for the new McKinney Fire Station No. 11 in the coming weeks, according to city staff. Construction on the station will then begin about one month after that approval and last 12-14 months. The goal is to finish at the beginning of 2022.

The new station will be located at 6260 Rundell Way, which is on the west side of Alma Road near the McKinney Soccer Complex at Craig Ranch. It will be a 15,000-square-foot facility with three apparatus bays that will house 10 firefighters and officers. The station will also have a training tower and small McKinney Police Department storefront office.

McKinney firm Conduit Architecture + Design is the architect on the project. Crossland Construction from Prosper will serve as project construction manager. Crossland Construction also served as construction manager on McKinney Fire Station No. 10, which is located at 1150 Olympic Crossing and serves the Trinity Falls area.
