Don Day has renovated 20 commercial-historic buildings in downtown McKinney over the past 10 years. Day said the once booming antique business on the square has fallen on hard times primarily, he thinks, because of eBay.
But hard times for antiques mean opportunity for other businesses. Day said a Starbucks coffee shop, an 8,000 square foot steakhouse and a 14-room boutique hotel are in development for the square.
“The future of downtown is bright so long as we keep evolving and adapting to our modern society and so long as we preserve the historic charm that makes downtown what it is,” Day said.
