McKinney, Texas, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., is set to enhance its appeal with significant new developments, including the upcoming JW Marriott hotel. This $324 million luxury hotel will feature 290 guest rooms, condos, and various amenities, making it the second JW Marriott in North Texas. Additionally, the city is witnessing a $1.3 billion project called Long Branch, which aims to create a vibrant mixed-use community with residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
Other notable developments include the Cannon Beach Surf and Adventure Park, a $200 million project featuring a four-acre surf lagoon and resort-style hotel, and the VENU Sunset Amphitheater, which will host concerts starting in 2026. These expansions are part of McKinney’s broader growth strategy, as the city ranked 12th on Opendoor’s list of the most popular housing markets in 2024. With these developments, McKinney is poised to become a key destination for entertainment and tourism, further solidifying its status as a desirable place to live and visit.
