80-acre senior living community coming to McKinney

​​​​​McKINNEY – Work will start next year on The Touchmark at Emerald Lake, an 80-acre senior-living community.

The development will have 390 homes for retirees 55 and more. It will offer restaurants, lakeside pavilion, lawn, and private courtyards.

There will also be a fitness and health club open to membership for people over 50.

The facility will generate $25 million in local economic impact and about 350 jobs.

Kimley-Horn, Three Living Architecture, and Talley Associates worked on the master plan and landscape design.

The two-phase venture will deliver in 2022.​
