A Lightbridge Academy child care center is planned on the west side of McKinney, with construction scheduled to begin this week, according to a state filing.
The project, registered Oct. 2 in the state licensing department's accessibility database, calls for new construction of a 14,600-square-foot child care center on Lot 1 at the corner of Jordan Road and Virginia Parkway. The filing estimates the cost at $3 million and lists a start date of Thursday, Oct. 15, with completion on Aug. 1, 2027.
The record lists the owner as Bryteside Investments LLC, with a Prosper address, and the design firm as Colliers Engineering & Design of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. It says the work is privately funded and that the money is not coming from a tenant. No tenant is listed by name beyond the Lightbridge Academy facility name, and the status reads "Project Registered."
A second filing registered the same day lists a center of the same size and cost in Celina, also under the Lightbridge Academy name, on the same construction schedule.
