20-home community College Street coming near downtown McKinney

Award-winning North Texas homebuilder Olivia Clarke Homes in partnership with developer Rockhill Capital & Investments announced June 7 the groundbreaking of College Street, a 20-home community in McKinney.

The community is located on College Street to the east of Westlane Street near downtown McKinney. The 20 homes will be inspired by the historical architecture in the area, with square footage ranging from 2,300-4,500 square feet, a news release stated.

“We’re excited to build homes that pay tribute to the historical homes that have been so beautifully preserved in McKinney,” said Jennifer Johnson Clarke, founder and president of Olivia Clarke Homes, in the release. “Homebuyers have an appreciation and appetite for historical architecture, and we are carefully designing and building homes with charming, nostalgic details and smart finishes they will love for years to come.”

Grading is now underway at College Street, and new-home construction is anticipated to begin at the end of this year, the release stated.

“We knew this could be a very special project, not only due to the location so near downtown McKinney, but also to offer new construction homes that tie into the historic charm of the area,” said Ryan Griffin, managing partner for Rockhill Capital and Investments, in the release. “This is a very rare product, and we’re excited to see the buyer response.”

Home prices are expected to start at $685,000. More information about the community can be found at www.oliviaclarkehomes.com/community-detail/College-Street-165666
