The McKinney City Council has approved a Chapter 380 Economic Development Program and Agreement with Craig Ranch Luxury Hotel SPE Owner LP to bring a luxury JW Marriott resort hotel to the city.
The planned high-rise resort will be situated on an 8-acre parcel at the northeast corner of Collin McKinney Parkway and Van Tuyl Parkway within the Craig Ranch development. The hotel will feature 290 guest rooms, over 51,000 square feet of conference space, and resort-style amenities including a pool with a lazy river, a full-service fitness center, multiple dining options, a lounge with a terrace and poolside service, pickleball courts, structured and valet parking, a business center, and a retail gift shop.
Additionally, the project will include at least 45 for-sale condominiums, each served by a dedicated amenity deck. Guests will also have access to the TPC Craig Ranch golf course and a Lifetime Fitness and Spa.
McKinney Mayor George Fuller stated, “This is a transformational project that reflects the City of McKinney’s commitment to thoughtfully planned growth and economic development. With the airport’s upcoming expansion into commercial service, our extended partnership with the CJ CUP Byron Nelson tournament, and major entertainment attractions like the VENU Sunset Amphitheater and Cannon Beach: Surf and Adventure Park, McKinney is quickly becoming a regional and national destination. A luxury resort like JW Marriott is not just welcome, it’s needed.”
Construction on the hotel is required to begin by December 31, 2026, and be completed by April 30, 2029. Additional incentives from the McKinney Community Development Corporation and the McKinney Economic Development Corporation will be considered this summer to support the project.
