City leaders have signed off on a zoning request for a proposed senior living community north of US 380.

What happened: McKinney City Council members unanimously approved new zoning for nearly 10.5 acres near the northeast corner of Lake Forest Drive and US 380 during a May 19 meeting. The new zoning will accommodate a 222-unit senior living community called Forest View Senior Housing.

The property would be developed by Storm Guard Franchise Systems, according to a letter of intent. Development would consist of 222 residential units across three buildings, and 7,853 square feet of commercial space that could accommodate medical offices, restaurants, retail or offices.

The details: The new zoning splits the land up into three different tracts:

• Tract 1: 4.9 acres for commercial and multifamily uses

• Tract 2: 5.46 acres for multifamily uses

• Tract 3: 0.12 acres for single family uses

Developers intend to give the third tract to the single-family owners that border the property to the north, Planning Director Lucas Raley said.

Burlington is now open in McKinney, according to a company social media post.

The gist: Burlington is a New Jersey-based department store that offers clothing, accessories and home goods, according to the company’s website.

Texas was home to eight of the nation’s fastest-growth municipalities in 2025 as people continue moving to smaller cities in the state’s large metropolitan areas, new U.S. Census Bureau data shows.

The details: Celina, located about an hour north of Dallas, grew faster than any other U.S. city in 2025, according to the census data released May 14. The city grew by 24.6% between July 2024 and July 2025, and 64,427 people called Celina home as of July 1.

Fulshear, a 64,630-person city west of Houston, saw the second-fastest growth in the nation last year, at 21%.

What's happening: Helen You, interim director of the Texas Demographic Center, said the trend of people moving to smaller cities in major metros “is not unique to Texas."

The suburban boom comes amid a slowdown in overall population growth, according to previous Community Impact reporting. While Texas gained more new residents last year than any other U.S. state, growth slowed significantly amid a nationwide reduction in immigration from other countries.
