1200 Old Mill Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire ±6.0 acres of undeveloped land strategically positioned near McKinney National Airport in one of the fastest-growing cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The site offers ±3.5 net developable acres of flat, mostly cleared terrain with gentle topography and silty clay soils. None of the tract is located within a FEMA-designated flood zone, making it well-suited for ground-up industrial, flex, or storage development.
The property features approximately 980 feet of road frontage along Old Mill Road at the south and west property boundaries, providing strong visibility and convenient access. The site is located south of Harry McKillop Blvd. between Couch Dr. and Airport Dr., placing it within approximately half a mile of McKinney National Airport. The airport is currently undergoing a transformative $72 million commercial terminal expansion that is expected to significantly elevate economic activity and demand for supporting commercial and industrial uses in the immediate area.
McKinney has established itself as one of the premier growth markets in North Texas. The city's population surged from approximately 131,000 in 2010 to over 213,500 by 2023 — growth exceeding 80%. By early 2025, the estimated population reached approximately 224,000 residents, reflecting continued momentum. The area surrounding the airport has emerged as a key growth node for logistics, light industrial, and flex development, supported by ongoing infrastructure investment, the Spur 399 expansion, and increasing developer interest throughout the corridor.
The local economy benefits from a diverse and stable employment base anchored by major employers including Raytheon Intelligence & Space, Encore Wire, Globe Life, and Medical City McKinney Hospital. The property also falls within the highly regarded McKinney Independent School District, which continues to drive strong residential demand and ensures a robust local workforce. These factors combine to create sustained long-term demand for well-located commercial land in the area.
The property is currently zoned AG (Agricultural) and is designated on the McKinney Future Land Use Map as part of the Airport District with a planned use of Employment Mix. Industrial, flex, storage, or commercial business uses align well with the city's comprehensive plan for this corridor, providing a clear entitlement pathway for prospective developers.
From a utilities standpoint, the site is within the City of McKinney sewer service CCN and the Milligan WSC water service CCN, with the City of McKinney holding an easement of CCN indicating some intent to serve. An existing 1.5-inch Milligan WSC water line currently serves the property, and the nearest major water infrastructure includes a 24-inch line to the west. No sewer infrastructure is currently onsite; the nearest sewer line is an 18-inch line located at Airport Dr. to the east. The feasibility and timeline of development will be influenced by the extension of adequate water and sewer capacity to the site, whether by the City of McKinney, adjacent developers, or through offsite infrastructure investment by the end user.
This property is best suited for an investor or developer with a vision for industrial, flex, or storage use who can capitalize on the long-term growth trajectory of the McKinney airport corridor. Short-term value is driven by the strength of the location, while long-term upside will be unlocked as surrounding infrastructure improvements materialize and utility access is resolved.
