MCKINNEY, TX — Brasfield & Gorrie construction crews recently celebrated the topping out of a 438,000-square-foot secure office, lab, and manufacturing building in McKinney. Topping out marks a building reaching its full height. Construction will now move to the interior of the building, which is scheduled for completion in early 2024.

Raytheon Intelligence & Space, a Raytheon Technologies business, will occupy the facility. It is an extension of the company’s recently completed Advanced Integration and Manufacturing Center. The new manufacturing facility will include approximately 259,200 square feet of general manufacturing and clean room space, which have extensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing requirements.

The office footprint will be approximately 43,200 square feet per floor, including a connection to the existing building and elevator lobby areas, and it will consist of a four-story tower on top of the manufacturing component. The project also includes an elevated seventh floor observation tower.

Corgan is the architect and KDC is the developer.

“Raytheon continues to grow and improve its capacity for developing advanced technology, and this facility will continue that mission while also creating jobs for 700 people in North Texas,” said Michael Tortorici, Brasfield & Gorrie Vice President and Division Manager. “The construction expertise of the men and women who are constructing this facility is essential to its success, and topping out is an opportunity to celebrate their hard work.”
