PLUTO 500 Phase 1 Mezzanine

The Pluto 500 project, formally filed as PLUTO 500 Phase 1 Mezzanine, represents a significant renovation effort at 851 Harry McKillop Blvd in Mckinney, TX 75069. Registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in October 2026, this private development focuses on the buildout of a 21,429 sq ft mezzanine floor plate, including the installation of stairs and an elevator within an existing building structure. The estimated cost for this accessibility-focused alteration is $2,200,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $103.

TDC-DRI McKinney Phase II LLC serves as the owner and developer of record for this initiative. Method Architecture is the registered design firm overseeing the architectural plans, while Kathy S Rodriguez is listed as the registered accessibility specialist ensuring compliance with state standards. The project is privately funded and situated on private land designated for private use, distinguishing it from public infrastructure projects often seen in the region.

When compared to other renovation and alteration filings in Collin County, this project stands out in terms of financial scale. The median estimated cost for similar work in the county is $221,000, with the middle half of projects ranging from $120,500 to $500,000. At $2,200,000, the Pluto 500 mezzanine buildout is well above the county median, placing it in the top quarter of projects by cost. Additionally, the $103 per sq ft figure exceeds the county median of $78 per sq ft.

Despite the higher costs, the scheduled build window of 87 days is close to the county median of 92 days. The project was registered with TDLR in October 2026, and plan review is pending. Construction is targeted for February 2027, according to the filing dates. This timeline suggests a relatively efficient turnaround for the scope of work, which involves substantial structural modifications to add vertical access and usable floor space.
